GWG [chrisbergr]: There is an open core ticket to add the old Press This code to the embed system
#
[chrisbergr] Press this is gone, right
#
[chrisbergr] But this link preview functions don't have to do anything with oembed I think. Or maybe it is embedded, but I need to access the functions/service for creating the preview itself.
#
[chrisbergr] Maybe I try https://github.com/microweber/screen on a subdomain of my short url and provide a "transport" API, like I did for my current location
#
Loqi [microweber] screen: Website screenshot tool based on PHP and PhantomJS
#
GWG Yes, Press This is gone. But I have Parse This
#
[chrisbergr] Are you familiar with Pinterest? I'd like to do something similar on my own site. custom post kind 'pin', and then use of something similar to parse this to display all images of the current website and make them selectable, so that I can pin them on my page from within this popup.
#
[chrisbergr] see this screenshot for example https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/721986/screenshots/4128195/pinterest-wizard.jpg
#
[chrisbergr] BTW: This https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2018/12/using-the-wordpress-mshots-screenshot-api/ is the screenshot API used by wordpress in the mentioned comments admin page.

GWG If it is reliable, I might consider using and sideloading the image in an upcoming project
