Error Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) about instagramfeed

[thomashdk]

Any fix for this ??

[deeneshchowdhary]

Did you guys try increasing the cache time? It did work for me for now xD.
'cache_time':660

Having the same issue here:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at '******' from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

I am testing on Google Chrome. I also have a little bit older version of this InstagramFeed live on a website and when I access that website on Safari I get the same error.

Same error for me.
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.instagram.com/******/' from origin 'https://******.herokuapp.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Hello everyone,

I have the same issue than @RomainDW:
Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) blocked cross-origin response https://www.instagram.com/p/*/ with MIME type text/html. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5629709824032768 for more details.

It is impossible to read media from this type of url (what is lookaside?)
https://lookaside.instagram.com/seo/google_widget/crawler/?media_id=2524343234902980347
(it is the display_url of the first media of the timeline)

But it's working for these url
https://scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-19/s320x320/19120568_1538053702936454_1095478567585710080_a.jpg?tp=1&_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_ohc=6MMjl4HN_nYAX8ei34b&oh=01be23e91bcf5a09bfcf8c9c5fec9693&oe=606F1656
(it is the profile pic url)

@kerr325 I tried to add crossorigin in my script tag but it doesn't change anything...

It is related to specific account because
violette_fr has this error for all medias (video and image are from lookaside.instagram.com),
motogp has this error only for image (video are from scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com and image are from lookaside.instagram.com)
but rpbw_architects is working well (all medias are from scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com)

I have no clue why this is happening to some accounts/medias and why is it ok with some others...
If someone find a solution for that, and an explication, it would be very helpfull! :)

I have what I believe is a simple fix that worked for me if you simply add the argument of crossorigin to your script tag it resolves the issue, for example:

<script src="assets/js/insta-min.js" crossorigin></script>

unfortunately it doesn't work in my case
Note that the script works for me with certain Instagram users, even without the @kerr325 "crossorigin fix"
Thank you for having tried !

[jsanahuja]

Have you been able to reproduce this with any other account than google?

[basile-code]

To complete my previous message, these are extracts of JSON objects edge_owner_to_timeline_media for the 3 accounts.

violette_fr

violette_fr.txt

motogp

motogp.txt

rpbw_architects

rpbw_architects.txt

[marianabhud]

OK.. thanks.. one time its OK and next time No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'

[RomainDW]

Have you been able to reproduce this with any other account than google?

Yes, i tried with multiple accounts, same error :/

[RomainDW]

I tested on a new web site, with the host "https://images" + ~~(Math.random() * 3333) + "-focus-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?container=none&url=https://www.instagram.com/",
The query runs 8 times and fails 8 times with the same CORS policy error:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://images1101-focus-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?container=none&url=https://www.instagram.com/violette_fr/' from origin 'https://violettefr-store.myshopify.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

[davyk7]

in fact, it seems to depend on the user, and I really don't understand why...
For example, the error can be reproduced with the instagram user "motogp"

[arnoutdc]

Getting the same error here:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.instagram.com/******/' from origin '*****' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

[davyk7]

up 😉

Hello,

New discovery today:
The latest picture of violette_fr (13th March) is ok, it's on scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com
But not the other ones, so it may be media related and not account related like we thought.
Here, is two extracts of images from violette_fr account, one on scontent-sea1-1.cdninstagram.com and the other on lookaside.instagram.com:
image.violette_fr.20210313.txt
image.violette_fr.20210311.txt

The only difference I see is the dimensions but every other images have also different dimensions...

[marianabhud]

Same error for me.
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://www.instagram.com/******/' from origin 'https://******.herokuapp.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource...

crossorigin in <script src="/******/" crossorigin></script> / doesnt work for me..

how did you solve this problem?

[marianabhud]

Where you add thnis cache_time .. in var defaults options? If yes, for me does't work :/

[deeneshchowdhary]

@marianabhud I tested again and it works on some browser and some don't. Are you using the latest version of code?
https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery.instagramFeed/3.0.4/jquery.instagramFeed.min.js

[deeneshchowdhary]

@marianabhud yes it is so inconsistent. let's see if someone has any fix for it.

[Federico-Iglesias]

Hey there how are you? I thought the "host" option would fix this. In same cases i see it and in others not (after several attempts made by the JS plugin)
jsanahuja/jquery.instagramFeed#127

[MatheusBarem]

Same error here, I have tried to use the host parameter, cache_time too but doesn't work, any fix?

[drewbaker]

If I had to guess what is going on here, it's that IG is picking up on the repeated access from one IP and putting on a "must be logged in" page for that account from that IP.

[fennecinspace]

This is what the URL is redirecting to :

Hi, are you using uMatrix or any other browser extension which might block the connection? For me, it did not work since uMatrix blocked the connection. Now working fine.

[hussein-pintu]

Did you guys try increasing the cache time? It did work for me for now xD.
'cache_time':660

Guys, I am using the latest code from here: https://github.com/jsanahuja/InstagramFeed/blob/master/src/InstagramFeed.js
I just changed the existing cache_time to 660 property which was originally set to 360 and the insta feed works fine now.

Getting CORS error with Safari on Mac as well

Edit: ok mine got fixed with the previous solution

 host': "https://images" + ~~(Math.random() * 3333) + "-focus-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/proxy?container=none&url=https://www.instagram.com/",
