Hi there,

When you load your user in RSSBox, does it still show the RSS contents, or an error? Can you share your instagram handle?

I am not an expert in how IFTTT works, but does it show any kind of error message?

Thanks!

Tweets are sent, but not photo was uploaded. A specific character is created in the image link. &

Hmm.. so the RSS feed encodes ampersands because that's how Atom feeds should encode them, and I think it does it properly. Maybe you can try to contact IFTTT and ask them if they are reading the RSS feed properly? I think they should expect & to be in there and decode html entities.

Feel free to link them this issue thread and they can tell me that I'm wrong. :)

Hi stefansundin & eyoungmin,

Yes, I've the same problem. The IFTTT applet for RSS to Twitter (with native photo) no longer works. As discovered, the problem is the &.

Let me know me know if you have any luck with IFTTT.

RSSBox is great BTW. Thanks Stefan.

No, I haven't received an answer yet. There is the same problem with similar RSS services. RSS-Bridge They haven't solved it, but there's a temporary solution. Many people have to keep talking about IFTTT.

I think this is a referer problem, not an issue with the img src url.

If I right click and load image in new tab (in Firefox) it loads fine. Checking the web tools network console for my RSS reader shows that the instagram images are returning a 200 code but only about 400 bytes. I've been doing some experiments with just creating an html page and putting the link in there with or without the &amp and I get the same result: a broken image.

I noticed that linkin.bio for artsy (https://linkin.bio/artsy) seems to be showing instagram thumbnails. But the code is difficult to understand. I am hopeful there is a parameter that can be added to the image url to allow at least a thumbnail, but still searching...
