This document explains how to use the new Facebook oEmbed endpoints. These endpoints are replacing the old oEmbed endpoints which are being deprecated on October 24, 2020.
If you are migrating off of the old endpoints, make sure to read this document in its entirety since the endpoint paths and their requirements have changed.
You may receive intermittent HTTP 400 errors from the legacy endpoints that will be deprecated on October 24, 2020. These are part of the internal migration process and can be resolved by retrying your request. More information below.

rajab natshahIf you test with Drupal 8 core only
The Facebook credentials have not been configured. Please visit the settings form .
The provided URL does not represent a valid oEmbed resource.
To use this module you need a Facebook developer account. In the your Facebook developer dashboard you have to create an App that uses the oEmbed API.
they do have a new custom field name
Instagram URL
field_media_oembed_instagram
Text (plain)
In Varbase we use
Instagram
field_media_instagram
Text (plain)
No change of storage configs format in varbase_media_instagram
The change is in the source, and form Display and view Display
The sourece was changed from
instagramtooembed:instagramAny custom code should follow the new Facebook - Instagram API Standard for the new oEmbed
