Meta PublisherInstall

Summary

Create an Instagram video media container from a video URL, poll its processing status, and publish it when processing finishes if Auto Publish is enabled. The result includes the container ID, processing status, publish response, and permalink when available.

Inputs

• Input Source — Choose node fields or read one or more job objects from the input item’s JSON. JSON Property Path selects the data using a dot path; $json uses the whole item, and an array runs one job per object.
• IG User ID (required) — Instagram account ID used to create and publish the video.
• Video URL (required) — URL of the video to upload to Instagram.
• Caption — Caption included with the video container.
• Cover Image URL — Optional cover image URL for the video.
• Auto Publish (IG) — Defaults to true. When enabled, publishes the video after its container reports FINISHED; when disabled, returns the processed container without publishing.
• Polling Interval (Sec) — How often to check container processing status; defaults to 5 seconds.
• Max Wait (Sec) — Maximum time to poll before returning the latest status; defaults to 300 seconds.

Output shape

A single output item per job, with a JSON object.

The object includes id (instagram-video), platform, type, creationId, status, published, publishResult, and permalink. Publishing and permalink lookup are attempted only when Auto Publish is enabled and processing finishes; otherwise those fields indicate no publication. Polling can end at the maximum wait with the latest status, including an error status.
