The `instagram`-shortcode refers an endpoint of Instagram's API, that's deprecated since October 24th, 2020. Thus, no images can be fetched from this API endpoint, resulting in an error when the `instagram`-shortcode is used. For more information please have a look at GitHub issue [#7879](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/7879).

### `param`

Gets a value from the current `Page's` params set in front matter, with a fall back to the site param value. It will log an `ERROR` if the param with the given key could not be found in either.

Why not just adding deprecated and removing in later versions?

The shortcode might be fixed with a different approach. Alternatively, gohugoio/hugo#7893 proposes the removal of such shortscodes because they can break. The future of this shortcode is uncertain. What I can say right now is that it's broken.
