Hi,

Is there a branch planned to test the upcoming change to Facebook/Intagram API endpoint ?

Thanks for notify this.
Seems like now facebook require an access token: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed

I don't have much free time now so, if anyone want to work on this, PR is appreciated. If not, I'll work on it in next weeks.

I've added a couple of new settings to configure the access tokens for Facebook and Instagram (https://github.com/oscarotero/Embed#settings)

Could you please test if it works fine? I don't have access tokens for that and I don't want to create an app for that.

Thanks!

If I'm testing it right, it does not seem to work.
When the Extractor is present, the detectEndpoint method was called before I was able to set the settings.
A PR is incoming.

Endpoints have to be updated also for tokens have any meaning

Released this change in https://github.com/oscarotero/Embed/releases/tag/v4.3.0
Thanks @reflexxion

May I inquire if this discussion covers the Drupal Module: https://www.drupal.org/project/url_embed ??

The resolution to this is of the greatest importance to finalizing the release of a website that has been a full year in the making and this policy change by Facebook has stalled the release.

Thank you Oscar, for both your Oembed program and resolving this!

We have updated Embed v3 & v4.
According to this #362 Drupal still using v2, a very old and unmaintained version of this library. I encourage to Drupal plugin creators to update the plugin to use v3 (or even better, v4).

@oscarotero - I just updated my Drupal distribution and can confirm that it updated embed/embed to version 3.4.10 however, the Facebook issue still exists. The URL entered renders as a URL only vs the intended card.

Your thoughts?

@BSimon47 Facebook and Instagram now require an api key to use its oembed api (here the docs: https://github.com/oscarotero/Embed/tree/v3.x#example-with-all-options)
I don't know how this is integrated with Drupal but there should be a way to configure an api key for this.
