Error trying to upload an image to instagram timeline

[ghost]

Hello, I am presenting the following error trying to upload an image to instagram timeline

public boolean createPost(Post post) { try { Instagram4j insta = login(); InstagramUploadPhotoRequest request = new InstagramUploadPhotoRequest(getFile(post.getContent()), post.getCaption()); insta.sendRequest(request); return true; } catch (Exception e) { return false; } }

private Instagram4j login() throws IOException { Instagram4j instagram = Instagram4j.builder().username(username).password(password).build(); instagram.setup(); instagram.login(); return instagram; }

This is the log output

It seems you are using 1.x.x version of instagram4j which may be outdated. You may need to use latest version of this library (2.x)

Can you see if this works for instagram4j 2.x ?

Also make sure your image dimensions are within Instagram's acceptable ratios.

image dimensions are within Instagram's acceptable ratios.

Fixed with latest version

Had the same issue. The dimensions weren't the issue, instead, the format of the image caused it. Instagram only supports JPEG and will always respond with a "ProcessingFailedError" error when passing a PNG file. ImageIO.write(image, "jpg" /* instead of png */, file);
