Verify that the Instagram account is set to Public. Private posts cannot be processed by web tools.
Ensure your link is clean without tracking query strings (e.g., strip ?is_from_webapp=1 if pasting manually).
Confirm your internet connection or try loading the link in an incognito/private browser tab to bypass stale local cache.
