Instagram oneboxing

[Remah (Just another happy Discourse user)]

doesn’t work for me

But it looks fine for me so have you got a browser/extension problem?

Might be useful to show us which site it isn’t working on as it’s fine here on meta.

If it works here, then Instagram has possibly blacklisted your server or IP range?

Just reporting anecdotally, we’ve seen some weird inconsistent Instagram oneboxing lately. A couple cases recently where we see the preview image failing to display and then a day later or something seems to work. This happened even for one of our own IG videos that we’d recently posted and displayed perfectly fine on instagram.com

I suspect there may just be some jankiness with the Instagram API unfortunately…

I see it now. Some weird latency?

I’ve been having an issue on my site with IG One Boxes not showing up. Any ideas of where to look to start debugging why?

Instagram recently changed the rules, we are working on some fixes here, but it will take some time.

Flarum found a way to fix it. Maybe it helps some of you guys to keep it working for discourse:

Instagram and Facebook oEmbed API to stop working, what about Onebox?

If you’re running an up-to-date Discourse instance you should now be able to add a token that will allow oneboxes to be generated using the new API. I’ve not yet written up step-by-step instructions on how to generate the token, but if you are comfortable in Facebook’s developer site you can go through the ‘Requirements’ listed here: to generate a token. That token can then be entered as the value for the facebook_app_access_token SiteSetting.
