Hi @Nikhil_Agarwal Welcome to the community. Instagram needs publicly accessible media URL or direct download links except one drive and google drive, they work sometimes but not reliable. You can try using cloud media hosting services like cloudinary for such use case or try using files stored in records of airtable or similar tools. Best, @Prem_Patel ---
