List embedded Instagram posts on Ionic 3 page

I want to list embedded Instagram posts inside my Ionic 3 app. I tried doing it manually: 1. Went to Instagram on my desktop, chose a public post and clicked on the three dots on the embed option. I copied the link and pasted it inside my page:

<blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmoikg2ABAt/?utm_source=ig_embed" data-instgrm-version="9" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:540px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"> <div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmoikg2ABAt/?utm_source=ig_embed" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">And lastly, my actual #1 @courtneyjbarry you are an incredible woman.

  1. Also I changed the src of the script from

<script async defer src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>

to

<script async defer src="http://www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>

  1. Also I inserted the script code inside index.html at the bottom:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Ionic App</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="viewport-fit=cover, width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
  <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
  <meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no">

  <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="assets/icon/favicon.ico">
  <link rel="manifest" href="manifest.json">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/animate.css/3.5.2/animate.min.css">

  <meta name="theme-color" content="#4e8ef7">

  <!-- add to homescreen for ios -->
  <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
  <meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content="black">

  <!-- cordova.js required for cordova apps (remove if not needed) -->
  <script src="cordova.js"></script>

  <!-- un-comment this code to enable service worker
  <script>
    if ('serviceWorker' in navigator) {
      navigator.serviceWorker.register('service-worker.js')
        .then(() => console.log('service worker installed'))
        .catch(err => console.error('Error', err));
    }
  </script>-->

  <link href="build/main.css" rel="stylesheet">
  <link href="assets/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>

  <!-- Ionic's root component and where the app will load -->
  <ion-app></ion-app>

    <!-- Instagram -->
    <!-- <script async defer src="http://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script> -->

    <!-- The polyfills js is generated during the build process -->
    <script src="build/polyfills.js"></script>

    <!-- The vendor js is generated during the build process
      It contains all of the dependencies in node_modules -->
      <script src="build/vendor.js"></script>

      <!-- The main bundle js is generated during the build process -->
      <script src="build/main.js"></script>

      <script async defer src="http://www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

But the problem is that the post is not shown and all I can see is this:

See Here

My question is how can I actually show the post instead of the gray Instagram logo I need the picture/video to be shown like a normal Instagram post.

   removeScript(){
        let fjs = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]

   fjs.parentNode.removeChild(document.getElementById('instagram-wjs'));

  }
  instagramPosts(){
    ! function(d, s, id){
      let js: any;
      let fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];

      if (! d.getElementById(id)) {
        js = d.createElement(s);
        js.setAttribute("onLoad","window.instgrm.Embeds.process()");
        js.id = id;
        js.src = "https://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js";

        fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);
      }
    } (document, "script", "instagram-wjs");
  }

  ionViewWillLoad() {
    this.instagramPosts();
  }

ionViewWillLeave(){ this.removeScript(); }

This is the solution that works for me.

Try to call this function when the content is loaded:

instgrm.Embeds.process()

Edit:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable()
export class InstagramProvider {

    constructor() {
        this.insertInstagramScript();
    }

    loadEmbeds() {
        let win = <any>window;
        if (win.instgrm && win.instgrm.Embeds) {
        win.instgrm.Embeds.process();
        }
    }

    private insertInstagramScript() {
        var script = document.createElement('script');
        script.setAttribute('src', 'http://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js');
        document.body.appendChild(script);
    }
}
