Hi,

I’m trying to create an Instagram Carousel with JPG images taken from a Google Drive folder but I get: The operation failed with an error. (#2) Service temporarily unavailable (2, OAuthException).

This is the scenario:

As an alternative I removed the HTTP module and tried the solution proposed on [Instagram for Business] Post photo from Google Drive - #4 by jitesh_d

Any thoughts to solve this?

If you take a look at the notes in the instagram module you need to use a publicly accessible url for this. I would suggest using google cloud storage.

Review the instagram api docs for carousel images. Your going to need the correct JSON format under the files field.

Hi,

I eventually solved this with the following modules:

  • Google Drive Get a Share Link set with Role = Reader and Type = Anyone
  • Array aggregator set with Photo URL = Web Content Link from the previous module
  • Instagram Carousel set with File = Array
