Goal is to get the public’s media from Instagram whenever they post - then download it to post in my discord channel’s servers.
Well the thing I’ve understand so far that getting the actual media URL via make is hard and there’s no straight forward way to do it.
That’s why, I’ve decided to go with old traditional HTTPS: Get media file method to download the instagram media… But this is not working. As the make automated flow doesn’t either provide the direct media URL to instagram post or a shortnote [http://www.instagram.com/p/{shortnote}/] to download the media file via HTTPS request.
The only thing make provide is bullshit media ID, which in some or any other way make’s developers has restricted the use of it. Therefore, in this case too, no straight forward way.
After all these, I have searched the community to get answers - many of the community posts have mentioned about Rapid API to fetch the media URL, so that the post can be downloaded via HTTPS request… But the problem, 1. Majority links of Rapid API is broken which was posted by the users at community 2. I don’t know a shit about HTTP API AUTH KEY to request media infos from Rapid API, hence need a step by step procedure to create a automated flow from Instagram → HTTP: Get a file to download → Discord server with the downloaded media.
Secondly, as I’ve said previously in my community post, that I am not aware of how to use Rapid API and integrate it with my make.com’s automated flow. Could you please share detailed information and step by step procedure. It shall be helpful, not only me as well as for those, who don’t know how to proceed with.
Your help will be appreciated!
You can reuse this RapidAPI keychain for all API calls to RapidAPI – you’ll just need to change the X-RapidAPI-Host value based on the API you are calling.
