Answer 1

As indicated in the very last line of your error message you are trying to send a request to a URL that is invalid. It is invalid because it contains the HTML tag meta. You have to grab the URL that is in the content attribute of the HTML code.

Here is the code that you need in order to get the URL to the Instagram image:

image = soup.find("meta", property="og:image")["content"]
