Instagram Reels support missing

Open CodingSamurai opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

If you try to embed an Instagram Reels URL (like https://www.instagram.com/reel/CTuakCmAhU5/) you get an error message "Sorry, this content could not be embedded." but if you do a traditional Instagram post it works fine.

The AJAX call specifically returns this value: "{"code":"oembed_invalid_url","message":"Not Found","data":{"status":404}}"

Also note that iFramely does properly render Reels so it is something that CAN be supported:
