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.

    We experience the same issue

  2. Patrick

    Same issue here.

  3. Francisco

    Seems to be an issue with the feed in general

  4. Mindaugas

    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?

    Same issue here. Problem seems to have started this morning for us

    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.

    We are experiencing the same issue with 100% of our customers posts, regardless is they are carousel posts or not.

  22. Ian

    Did this just get way worse for anyone else? Our publishing just dropped off a cliff

    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)

  24. Geoffrey

    Same issue. Failure occurs if sending multiple images.
