oEmbed: Instagram URL pattern with username in URL

[danielbachhuber]

Instagram also gives users URLs like https://instagram.com/pochoy_29/p/yRN4lxGO18/ where pochoy_29 is the username. It would be nice to support this pattern as well.

Hm, Instagram doesn't recognize the URL in its oEmbed endpoint:

local ➜  wordpress-develop.dev git:(master) ✗ http "https://api.instagram.com/oembed?maxwidth=660&maxheight=990&url=https%3A%2F%2Finstagram.com%2Fpochoy_29%2Fp%2FyRN4lxGO18%2F&format=json"

Do we have a contact there?

We're already planning beta 1, definitely not 4.2.

This works as a compatibility shim for me:

wp_oembed_add_provider( '#https?://instagram\.com/[^/]+?/p/.*#i', 'https://api.instagram.com/oembed', true );
add_filter( 'oembed_fetch_url', function( $provider, $url, $args ) {
	if ( false === stripos( $provider, 'api.instagram.com' ) ) {
		return $provider;
	}
	$url = preg_replace( '#https?://instagram\.com/([^/]+?/)p/(.*)#i', 'https://instagram.com/p/$2', $url );
	$provider = add_query_arg( 'url', $url, $provider );
	return $provider;
}, 10, 3 );

this URL pattern no longer works - try any image, add the username like you described, 404
