Support for Facebook/Instagram API (2022), switch to embed/embed v4

Created on 31 March 2022, about 2 years ago
Updated 20 March 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

A first attempt was made via #3177860: Support for Facebook/Instagram API changes - add access token settings β†’ to support Facebook and Instagram's API changes.
Since that thread started, Facebook deprecated things again (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed is now legacy).
Using patch #25 from that issue allows some limited success but at least some Facebook endpoints are no longer supported by embed/embed:^3.4

Steps to reproduce

Try to embed a Facebook Page or an Instagram Guide URL.

Proposed resolution

  1. Port patch #25 from #3177860: Support for Facebook/Instagram API changes - add access token settings β†’
  2. Update embed/embed dependency to a newer version
  3. Update url_embed codes to be compatible with embed/embed's newer version

    - drupal/url_embed 2.x-dev is an alias of drupal/url_embed dev-2.x and thus requires it to be installed too.

    You are mixing up drupal/url_embed, which is this module, drupal/embed, the drupal module dependency and embed/embed, which is the external dependency that you have a conflict on.

    You don't want t explicitly depend on embed/embed. Remove that from your composer.json and then repeat the first command with -W.

  • Thnks :), yes could install 2.x, now add pach? #6 3272702-upgrade-embedembed-dependency.patch ??
    and what add more?

    You don't need a patch, this is released and part of 2.0.0-alpha1.

  • Clear the caches, try to add a public url and still do not show the url Embedded only keeps showing twitter

    For example i have a public link :https://www.facebook.com/Selena/photos/a.116551875974/10159179397705975/

  • Hello, I still have the same problem, I have attached the installation of the module so that you can tell me please what I am doing wrong
    Thanks.
