Need to get Threads embedding working

for example

I looked yesterday for a plugin and couldn't find one.

Find a invision community's plugin for it and I'll install it post haste.

[immamac 42850]

The meta API also doesn’t exist yet. Their APIs have been pretty terrible as well. 
 

do you have an example of a site that is embedding real threads? 

[blacklab 11929]

there's embed code, 

have what's his name build a custom imbedder.

[Viper 12109]

Does this mean I'd be able to read threads without having to have an Instagram account?

Maybe related: Does Elon Musk have any ownership interest in Eskimo Hut, because that would explain a lot about the last few years

[hitbyatrain 48]

Also may I suggest having ToY write a scraper, preferably in Python

I think it’s called “federating”

This guy uses the Instagram API

[hitbyatrain 48]

My completely uninformed guess is that you can probably tweak whatever existing insta plug-in there is for the bbs to embed threads instead of, or in addition to, instagram. (I’m not sure if that’s enabled here already.) Change the code to send a thread post ID.

Can’t we just connect to the multiverse

[Celery Man 20950]

if you guys want to build a custom thread embedder and need a name, you can use "felt". that's a freebie

[Lurch 5930]

@immamac any current thoughts on this? I think there are likely a lot of us now that are on threads all day and never on Twitter anymore. It would be a lot easier to engage more here if you could get this working

[immamac 42850]

Threads doesn’t embed anywhere.

Embeds just fine in Discord and Messages. Tho maybe those are just web previews.

[Rimbo 25936]

correction, Discord is definitely embedding

Did this not count? Or is it just url preview?

[safe sex 11727]

@immamac

Is this an embed or is it a url preview?

Lmao that channel is unfortunately not sex-related at all, bare or otherwise

[immamac 42850]

put in a request today.

June for API

[Neonmoon 38129]

I don't speak tech

Does that mean embedding coming?

[Lurch 5930]

Mostly. It means Threads will soon allow the developers of board software like this to write code that pulls in/embeds thread content. Ie, it won’t just start working when they open up these APIs, but it shouldn’t take long after they do

[InkaUtexas 25942]

I don't use instagram. Sucks not being able to see what people are posting yet it works with Twitter, I mean X. Any thoughts?

It’s more a threads thing than an us thing. They don’t have an oembed functionality that I know of. I may look into it. 

[Neonmoon 38129]

API access released 

https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/18/24180794/meta-threads-api-developers-launch-availability

Now we just wait for embedding function 

[Lurch 5930]

Testing

[Lurch 5930]

Something happening today

From web browser, you can now click share and there’s an option to get embed code

[Neonmoon 38129]

Would think @immamac would need the app to develop an embedding function for it? Or am I dumb?
