I am a newbie to retrofit and I am trying to call a GET request to the URL https://www.instagram.com/p/CQiocPoNqTw/?__a=1 using Retrofit 2, The request works fine on browser and postman. but it won't work with retrofit 2. I have attached the screenshot of my logcat.

The request is implemented as

    @Headers(
        "Accept: application/json",
        "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br"
    )
    @GET
    suspend fun getPostInfo(@Url url : String) : Response<PostDetails>

Thanks in advance.

What does response html include? Did it resolved your issue? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40973633/retrofit-2-get-json-from-response-body – Muhtar Jun 25 '21 at 11:53
i think you url is wrong. check base Url and 'getPostInfo()' Method initialize Url – Sandeep Pareek Jun 25 '21 at 11:53
@SandeepPareek Check the logs, its requesting to the correct url – Sreehari K Jun 25 '21 at 12:06
@Muhtar it's IG Auth Page – Sreehari K Jun 25 '21 at 12:07
sometimes this url redirecting me to login page after login the json will there if this will target login then you will get html obviously – Usama Altaf Jun 25 '21 at 12:25

if the user is not logged this will returns html – Usama Altaf Jun 25 '21 at 12:26
yes you should search for authenticated api call – Muhtar Jun 25 '21 at 13:08
Then why is this working without auth in postman as well as browser? – Sreehari K Jun 25 '21 at 14:30
test your request in postman if you get html in postman to , then your API is problem . also you can use postman to set header value to application/json and see your result – Erfan Jun 26 '21 at 13:14
This works perfectly fine on postman and web browser @Erfan – Sreehari K Jun 28 '21 at 10:27
