AXIOS 对 instagram 的 GET 请求在产品中不起作用

Question

I am stuck for a few hours and I can't find an answer.

It's a very simple request that works fine in the browser (it returns a JSON answer), for example: https://www.instagram.com/eurosportfr/channel/?__a=1

In dev the code:

const express = require('express');
const axios = require('axios');
const cors = require('cors');

const app = express();

app.use(cors());

app.get('/instagram', (req, res) => {
 
  async function getInstagramFeed() {
    await axios
      .get('https://www.instagram.com/eurosportfr/?__a=1')
      .then((response) => {
        console.log(response);
        res.write(`${JSON.stringify(response.data)}`);
        res.end();
      })
      .catch((err) => {
        console.log(err.response);
        res.write('<h1>ERROR GRAVE</h1>');
        res.write(err.response);
        res.end();
      });
  }

  getInstagramFeed();
});

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8000;
app.listen(PORT, () => console.log(`listening on ${PORT}`));

The result in DEV ENV is JSON data with all what I need.

But in production, it doesn't return me the JSON. Instead it returns me an HTML page...

You can try it here: (I display in the body the result) https://corsmiddleware.vercel.app/instagram

When I try another api request with another API client, it works just fine in prod, example: https://corsmiddleware.vercel.app/test

Any idea??

Thanks

This request now requires authentification. It was working in the past, and it's still actually working here in Morocco where I am, but this solution is not reliable.

The solution is to follow the instructions on facebook: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/
