For an external Facebook Instant Article generator, we need the cooked HTML posts but without rendered oneboxes… Does any such route or API endpoint for posts exist already?

Maybe this can help GitHub - discourse/raw-post-button · GitHub

Hi @adopilot , many thanks for your feedback. Kindly can you elaborate? Looks like a component to view the raw post. We’re looking for something to render a cooked post, but without the oneboxes.

Apologies, i thought that you need raw post, later I did realised that I was wrong and it was posted allready.

Anybody? Can this somehow be achieved?

Hey @Terrapop You could write a plugin to hide (or remove) the DOM element for the One Box when the requesting User Agent string matches the User Agent string of the FB bot. Hope this helps.

[image] Terrapop: it would be great to somehow get the parsed HTML directly from Discourse, but just without the oneboxes. Just hide or remove the DOM element. It’s quite a simple task. Match User Agent string with Ruby and set a boolean on a match**. Javascript to hide the DOM element if…

Is there a route to get a cooked post, but without rendered oneboxes?

You will need to post process the HTML, the cooked posts already contains all the HTML for oneboxes expanded.
