Instagram shortcode broken?

Hi,

today, I added some content to my page and got an error indicating that the instagram shortcodes are broken (since all worked well before and now without adding anything new which is instagram-related). I’m getting the following error when building the site:

Failed to get JSON resource "https://api.instagram.com/oembed/?url=https://www.instagram.com/p/BGvuInzyFAe/&maxwidth=640&omitscript=true": Failed to retrieve remote file: Bad Request

This message pops up as many times as I use the shortcode in my posts.

This is sample content by the way. When I open the url mentioned above and the corresponding instagram post, I don’t get any errors. This problem is totally new for me. Did anyone else experience similar behaviour? Do you have any idea about its cause?

Thanks!
