Instafeed no longer pulling through

[tomhewitt2201]

Describe the bug:

Instagram feed isn't loading on multiple sites where we use this plugin. It's happening across multiple environments as well for each site including development server and local environment. Until recently they were all working without any issues.

Steps to reproduce:

1. NA - Load site and nothing is pulling through.

Where is it happening?

• [ X] On a server
• [X ] Local dev environment

What are you requesting:
Username: ...
Hashtag: ...

Config file:

<?php

return [
    // Replace with your personal key
    'proxyKey' => '********************',
    'useProxy' => true,
    'timeout' => 10,
];

Software versions:
Plugin Version: 2.1.0
PHP Version: 8.2.13
CraftCMS Version: 4.5.13

Hi, thanks for contacting us. We are investigating this at the moment. Instagram seems to have changed the structure of their site. So we will come back to you asap.

We're having the same issue. Do you guys have a rough estimate of when/if you could get this fixed?

thanks!

+1. same problem

[brambeekman]

Same here :(

[danfathom]

Hi, do you have an update on if/when this will be fixed?

[laurabennett]

Me too!

It certainly does seem like something related to the DOM structure of the Instagram public profile side.

The edges array in the JSON response through the proxy is empty. The request is technically working fine still, but the DOM parsing is likely no longer returning the required content, due to the changes.

[kringkaste]

We are testing a solution at the moment. We release a new version asap.

[jamesmacwhite]

Great news! Thanks for the update. I certainly appreciate the challenges of maintaining the DOM parsing side of things.

@tomhewitt2201 @laurabennett @jamesmacwhite @deevanych We just released a new version. Could you test this on your sites? It should work with and without proxy.

[jamesmacwhite]

@kringkaste Thank you for this. I am unfortunately on Craft CMS 3, will this be backported? I cannot test this directly in the project it is used in, but I can potentially spin up a DDEV Craft CMS 4 environment to confirm the plugin changes.

[kringkaste]

@jamesmacwhite Yes, we will backport this.

[laurabennett]

The site I'm working with is also on Craft 3.

@kringkaste I spun up a Craft CMS 4 environment with the proxy key for the Craft CMS 3 project and tested the PHP getFeed() function and it now returns data again!

Interestingly, my Postman API mockup of the proxy call to: https://igproxy.codemonauts.com/[accountname]/ seems to still be returning blank on the edges array, if that's something to flag, but otherwise through Twig it is working.

Edit: Potentially this seems to be something related to Cookies, as look at the diff, that's part of the changes.
Edit 2: After clearing the caches, it appears the response is returning empty again. However disabling the proxy, it appears to work OK, so potentially an issue with the proxy? I've previously had to use the proxy as it's never worked without.
