Bug: Instagram thumbnails have a weird play button overlay on them
the thumbnailUrl for GET v1/metadata endpoint for all instagram reels returns a thumbnail image that has a weird play button overlay on them. I’ve attached the returned thumbnail image for the reel

@Rafal any movement on this? This and the original https://feedback.supadata.ai/p/instagram-thumbnail-error bug has been there for months and still not fixed to an acceptable level (i.e. like how it was before)

The issue originally was that there was no thumbnail url at all, which was badly fixed quick in Instagram thumbnail ERROR. Furthermore what is still broken is that the author url is empty still. Hope you fix this as it is one of my primary use cases for ur API.
