This is actually an Instagram embedded video https://www.instagram.com/p/BbdT4kHAt1G/, which is supported by youtube-dl. The URL can be retrieved via right click -> open link in new tab in Firefox.

[antdude]

Thank you, yan12125. I didn't know about that trick. :)

@antdude if you don't have this issue now then please close the issue

[antdude]

mzfr: Shouldn't youtube-dl detect it for users?

[yan12125]

@antdude is right. This is still a valid issue.

[antdude]

Thank you, yan12125. :)

using youtube-dl to download instagram embedded videos is giving me issues. (may have to do with that super long string after /p/ in the url 'BqC7w9ug_ONVU-xLCvOzAB5t8ReM2IIUhfPoto0')

Example:
youtube-dl -cik -f mp4 --restrict-filenames -o "%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s" --verbose https://www.instagram.com/p/BqC7w9ug_ONVU-xLCvOzAB5t8ReM2IIUhfPoto0/
