Instagram Graph API – image_url required error even though it’s set correctly

[fareeha]

Hi! I’m using the Facebook Graph API node in n8n to post on Instagram.

Even though the image_url is clearly set and correctly passed (visible in the Set node output), the Facebook API node throws this error:
{
“error”: {
“message”: “(#100) The parameter image_url is required”,
“type”: “OAuthException”,
“code”: 100
}
}

Any idea why this is happening? Is there something wrong with how I’m referencing or formatting the input?

I have a pretty good idea.

imag is not equal to image
you misspelled the word image in your query parameters.

@jabbson Omg you’re absolutely right — I totally missed that typo. Can’t believe I wrote imag_url instead of image_url the whole time! I was checking everything except the spelling. Thanks so much for pointing that out — you’re a lifesaver!
