Getting large thumbnail photos from Instagram is no longer working with "replace" – Facebook api

For long time I use this “replace function” to get the thumbnails by Instagram API, it worked well but now they changed somethings and I no longer to use bigger thumbnails by this way. 

src="<?= str_replace('s150x150/', 's320x320/', $post->images->thumbnail->url) ?>">

By default thumbnail, it works well.

But replaced thumbnail size to bigger, it appears a msg: Invalid URL signature.

Anyone can help to get bigger thumbnail of Instagram. They changed API and I feel so tired with Facebook, they have made many changes since sync with FB and everytime like this, the developers have to update with no instructions.

    A solution would be very nice!
    I have also done it like you the last few month.

    I think one of the solutions is to use non-squared fotos from instagram (you get with “standard_resolution”) and set it as a background-image and do the “square” via css and display cover… 

    This is my personal solution at the moment…

    You can try with this trick

    src="<?= str_replace('s150x150/', 's320x320/', str_replace('vp/', '', $post->images->thumbnail->url)) ?>">

    or

    src="<?= str_replace('s150x150/', 's640x640/', str_replace('vp/', '', $post->images->thumbnail->url)) ?>">

    You have to replace (delete) also “vp/” on url, and works again.
    It’s a really bad solution, but it’s the only that i’ve found.

    Copy the link of the profile pic after the “/s150x150/xxxxxxxx……jpg” to the end of this:

    “https://instagram.flju2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/vp/e890a9f0b7b40abe5667b06d0fa750e5/“

    like: https://instagram.flju2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/vp/e890a9f0b7b40abe5667b06d0fa750e5/xxxxxxxx……jpg

    Works right now.
