Posting Instagram Create a Post - using shareable photo from Dropbox - suddenly not working

I’ve had a scenario running for a few weeks now with no issues.

suddenly the Instagram post no longer wants to work, throwing the below error (image types are all the same):

Only photo or video can be accepted as media type. (9004, OAuthException)

It’s pulling the photo url from a shareable dropbox url. I’ve tried using a different image url option, however the scenario still breaks at that instagram post.

Is there a reason this might be the case?

Hey there,

there is an issue with Meta API at the moment, there is a megathread about it. Right now you can try with a Break module and retry the execution until it passes.

Thanks for your reply! I had thought there might have been an issue on Metas end but wasn’t able to find anything.

I have just been manually posting to Instagram for the meantime, which i might continue to do - hopefully it’s sorted and back up and running shortly.

Could you confirm how a break module would work? the scenario is run Monday, Wednesday Friday, and has the same image posted to each account - would adding a break mean it will retry later to try and post?

Here - it retries the execution after the specified amount of time. Currently I have mine set to retry 10 times over 1 minute. Usually by the 4-5 retry the call goes through.

The image size should be 8 MB or less. Anything greater than that won’t work, which was the issue for me.
