[artlung] Frustratingly, neither the Instagram export data zip file does not appear to contain the permalink to the original post in Instagram. It does include lots and lots of OTHER metadata. But for, for example, https://www.instagram.com/p/DX9bDmcS5nV/ - the string `DX9bDmcS5nV` does not appear anywhere in the HTML or JSON export. There is `fbid` which is `18016018955683681` - not obvious if there's a way to exchange the fbid for the shortcode.
