publishing instagram carousel post
30

We get error messages like this when posting a carousel post on Instagram:

{"message":"Only photo or video can be accepted as media type.","type":"OAuthException","code":9004,"error_subcode":2207052,"is_transient":false,"error_user_title":"Media downloaden is mislukt","error_user_msg":"De media konden niet worden opgehaald via deze URI: http://...[VALID URL]","fbtrace_id":"As_84GaQOY9vGMolIqXEgkT"}

Anyone else? We didn't changed anything to the code .. but this pops up quite a lot (though not always?!) Any issues known on the API?

Thanks, Fred.

Same issue here. Storing our URLs in S3 bucket. The issue is looking intermittent as we had single successful post among many failed ones. Has anyone else come across any more info on this problem?

We are experiencing the same issue across all of our user accounts and connected clients - almost 100% of the time. Is there any ETA on this?

We were able to resolve this issue by ensuring that we allowed access to facebook's user-agent to our image server via the robots.txt file. We were denying access to all user agents prior to that. Once we fixed this, our posts started working again. Your case may be different, but I'm providing this information in case you have the same issue. BTW, we were getting the exact same error with a subcode of 9004 prior to this fix.

Thank you for the info. However, we see the issue even with User-agent: *

We’re pushing out a hot fix to use cloud front as a mitigation

I'm seeing the same issue. It's not related to carousel though. It also happens on single images posts. It's intermittent. Sometimes the image goes through, sometimes it returns an error (for the same image URL)

Update - we see some instances when uploading a single image. Always from a URL.
