Show HN: an API to pull Facebook-style thumbnails and abstracts for a URL
- mhluongo 13y agoI threw this together to scratch my own itch, but I'd love feedback. It's only hosted on a personal VPS right now, so be nice :)
- xauronx 13y agoI was looking for something like this a while back. I love the idea and need something like this. However, right now it's taking 2-5 minutes to respond... if it is at all. The one that worked seemed to be a screenshot of the page, which is cool but not exactly what facebook does.
- mhluongo 13y agoLooking into it now- I'm definitely not seeing 2-5 minute responses, though 10 seconds is common. What URLs have you tried?
- xauronx 13y agoI was pulling links off the front page (not HN links, external ones). This is the most recent: http://paulstamatiou.com/storage-for-photographers http://paulstamatiou.com/storage-for-photographers It's been going for 2.5 mins.
