What should I ask of a site that disallows OneBox crawls? Attempts to OneBox for Bookshop.org book listings result in: “Sorry, we were unable to generate a preview for this web page, because the following oEmbed / OpenGraph tags could not be found: description, image” – despite the required OG tags…

Cloudflare is blocking onebox from reaching the site. [image] ToddZ: if there’s something appropriate I might ask Bookshop.org to do, e.g. “Please allow the Discourse user agent to crawl?” Please relax you bot protection rule to allow Discourse Onebox ?
