relates to this site: https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/CVS-to-Sell-CBD-Products-in-800-Stores-in-8-States-507484191.html I get a onebox failure in logs: Failed to onebox https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/national-international/CVS-to-Sell-CBD-Products-in-800-Stores-in-8-Stat…

2019-03-22 10:42:42 - MultiJson::ParseError - 767: unexpected token at '<head> <title>404 Not Found</title> </head><body> <h1>404 Not Found</h1> <p>The provided content is neither a Video Release nor does it contain a Video Release in Related Media.<br>Example Request Format: https://www.nbcnewyor…

Feels like something is expecting JSON and getting HTML.

Yes, I’ve seen a related error. I did try to byebug it through … let me see if I can find that … will update

Thank you, that doesn’t surprise me at all! Forgive me if I sound stupid here: there’s no way we could make this more resilient and tolerate this as basic goal is to retrieve just title, excerpt, thumbnail, etc.?

You can always make things more resilient, proof is: it’s working on iFramely. Now I don’t know if we want to invest time fixing blatant issues like this one. @zogstrip ?

[image] j.jaffeux: Now I don’t know if we want to invest time fixing blatant issues like this one. @zogstrip ? Yeah, nooooo. They’re sending back the HTTP status code 200 with the HTML content of a 404 on a JSON request… :man_facepalming:

FYI I even tried to tell them using their website feedback form … and the submission gets stuck at an unresponsive Captcha dialogue
