"Instagram has returned invalid data"

Hi,

As of yesterday the instagram-element does not seem to work anymore.
Instead of loading the photos, the error message “Instagram has returned invalid data” is returned.

Is there a fix for this?

Kind regards,
Cong

Hello,

Thank you so much purchasing our theme and contacting our support center.

Try to add the following PHP code snippet to the child theme functions.php file to do this

function woodmart_scrape_instagram( $username, $slice = 9 ) {
		$username = strtolower( $username );
		$by_hashtag = ( substr( $username, 0, 1 ) == '#' );
		$transient_name = 'instagram-media-new1-' . sanitize_title_with_dashes( $username );
		$instagram = get_transient( $transient_name );
		
		if ( false === $instagram ) {
			
			$request_param = ( $by_hashtag ) ? 'explore/tags/' . substr( $username, 1 ) : trim( $username );
			$remote = wp_remote_get( 'https://instagram.com/'. $request_param );
			
			if ( is_wp_error( $remote ) ) {
				return new WP_Error( 'site_down', esc_html__( 'Unable to communicate with Instagram.', 'woodmart' ) );
			}

			if ( 200 != wp_remote_retrieve_response_code( $remote ) ) {
				return new WP_Error( 'invalid_response', esc_html__( 'Instagram did not return a 200.', 'woodmart' ) );
			}
				
			$shards = explode( 'window._sharedData = ', $remote['body'] );
			$insta_json = explode( ';</script>', $shards[1] );
			$insta_array = json_decode( $insta_json[0], TRUE );

			if ( ! $insta_array ){
				return new WP_Error( 'bad_json', esc_html__( 'Instagram has returned invalid data.', 'woodmart' ) );
			}
				
			if ( isset( $insta_array['entry_data']['ProfilePage'][0]['graphql']['user']['edge_owner_to_timeline_media']['edges'] ) ) {
				$images = $insta_array['entry_data']['ProfilePage'][0]['graphql']['user']['edge_owner_to_timeline_media']['edges'];
			} elseif( $by_hashtag && isset( $insta_array['entry_data']['TagPage'][0]['graphql']['hashtag']['edge_hashtag_to_media']['edges'] ) ) {
		        $images = $insta_array['entry_data']['TagPage'][0]['graphql']['hashtag']['edge_hashtag_to_media']['edges'];
		    } else {
				return new WP_Error( 'bad_json_2', esc_html__( 'Instagram has returned invalid data.', 'woodmart' ) );
			}

			if ( ! is_array( $images ) ) {
				return new WP_Error( 'bad_array', esc_html__( 'Instagram has returned invalid data.', 'woodmart' ) );
			}
				
			$instagram = array();
			
			foreach ( $images as $image ) {
				$image = $image['node'];
				$caption = esc_html__( 'Instagram Image', 'woodmart' );
				if ( ! empty( $image['edge_media_to_caption']['edges'][0]['node']['text'] ) ) $caption = $image['edge_media_to_caption']['edges'][0]['node']['text'];

				$image['thumbnail_src'] = preg_replace( "/^https:/i", "", $image['thumbnail_src'] );
				$image['thumbnail'] = preg_replace( "/^https:/i", "", $image['thumbnail_resources'][0]['src'] );
				$image['medium'] = preg_replace( "/^https:/i", "", $image['thumbnail_resources'][2]['src'] );
				$image['large'] = $image['thumbnail_src'];
				
				$type = ( $image['is_video'] ) ? 'video' : 'image';
				
				$instagram[] = array(
					'description'   => $caption,
					'link'		  	=> '//instagram.com/p/' . $image['shortcode'],
					'comments'	  	=> $image['edge_media_to_comment']['count'],
					'likes'		 	=> $image['edge_liked_by']['count'],
					'thumbnail'	 	=> $image['thumbnail'],
					'medium'		=> $image['medium'],
					'large'			=> $image['large'],
					'type'		  	=> $type
				);
			}
		
			// do not set an empty transient - should help catch private or empty accounts
			if ( ! empty( $instagram ) ) {
				$instagram = woodmart_compress( maybe_serialize( $instagram ) );
				set_transient( $transient_name, $instagram, apply_filters( 'null_instagram_cache_time', HOUR_IN_SECONDS * 2 ) );
			}
		}
		if ( ! empty( $instagram ) ) {
			$instagram = maybe_unserialize( woodmart_decompress( $instagram ) );
			return array_slice( $instagram, 0, $slice );
		} else {
			return new WP_Error( 'no_images', esc_html__( 'Instagram did not return any images.', 'woodmart' ) );
		}
	}
