flutter dart get.http response giving html instead of json api

Question

Yesterday the code works and returned me api json but not anymore now.

This is the url im using: https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNvnNOFPol/?__a=1

And this is what im getting from that link: Image: https://prnt.sc/xszvri

this is the code

    void getContentPost() async {
var response =  await http.get('https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNvnNOFPol/?__a=1');
print(response.body);

Map data = jsonDecode(response.body);
print(data);}

and i used elevated button to call getContentPost();

results:

I tried your code locally and it works without issues. Here's the snippet of the code I've tried.

Future _request() async {
  var response = await http.get(Uri.parse('https://www.instagram.com/p/CKNvnNOFPol/?__a=1'));
  debugPrint('Response: ${response.body}');
}

The http request will only return an html response if ?__a=1 was removed from the endpoint url. Make sure that the endpoint that you're using is correct.
