How should Instagram access a generated video stored privately?
Prepare a controlled media-delivery path that the publishing service can retrieve without exposing unrelated project files.
How should Instagram access a generated video stored privately?
For URL-based publishing, the platform must be able to fetch the media. A private portal URL that requires your user’s browser session is not sufficient.
Prepare the approved artifact
Confirm the file is the intended final revision and satisfies current publishing requirements. Meta’s URL-based flow requires media reachable by its servers. Choose a controlled delivery mechanism for that artifact; do not make an entire private bucket public merely to share one file.
Verify reachability and lifetime
Test retrieval without your application session and confirm the URL returns media bytes rather than an HTML login page. If using temporary access, allow for the platform’s processing window and verify that the chosen method is supported in the actual flow. Keep the URL out of unnecessary logs and retain a stable object reference internally. Handle a failed or expired fetch as a publishing issue rather than regenerating the video automatically.
