How to Embed Original Quality Instagram Media into Confluence Pages Using Snapinsta

[Ariana Travels]

I am managing a Confluence based knowledge base for a marketing team that regularly documents campaign assets and social media content. A recurring challenge is that team members want to embed their original Instagram post visuals directly into Confluence pages for campaign documentation but no longer have the source files available locally since Instagram provides no built in export option. Our current workflow involves using Snapinsta to retrieve the original quality file from the public Instagram post URL and then uploading it into Confluence as a page attachment before embedding it inline. Has anyone automated this retrieval and upload step using the Confluence REST API or a Jira automation rule to eliminate the manual retrieval process entirely.

Hi @Ariana Travels 

You can simply embed the entire Instagram post or just the image's direct URL using the iframe macro, or use the image's URL to display it as an image.

That way, you only need a URL.

My advice, as a content creator and manager, would be to address this as a process issue and ensure that the marketing team shares the campaign original image files with you. 

It seems to me that you're going to the extremes (with Snapinista and API) to address a very simple issue - marketing team not sharing the originals. Yes, there might be an option that your marketeers work with creators/influencers and don't have the originals.
