I am using Instagram feed API to show my Instagram posts on my Website. But some video URL shows 'URL signature expired'.

Any solution for me ?

You could use the media URL with some extra parameters as a solution to get the desired image instead of using the direct image link.

For example

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo7OXJ3hYM8/media/?size=m

Notice the addon /media/?size=m

Letters could be t, m or l for different picture sizes

This should return you the desired image
