IG Story permalink fields used to be in a format that would actually link out to the story.
Ex: https://www.instagram.com/stories/{username}/{id}
As of 7/17 the API is returning them in the shortcode format which is no longer a working link.
Ex: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9nd1hSzKn/
When attempting to navigate to the shortcode link we receive an error page with: "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram."
This is consistent across all users.
Is this an intended change? How should we be able to resolve the actual linkable story URL if so?
