Hey there,
downloading a video from instagram isn’t as straight forward as using a get a file module with the video’s url. That is not the actual file URL and cant be used to download the video.
Consider using a third party solution like Rapid API or Apify to download the video instead.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I will take a look at Rapid API
You should be able to use this module.
