After Maja did add a more advance OneBox for Amazon links I would like to know if it is possible to “hack” the OneBox to strip more chars so the Onebox gets bigger.

Eg I see the max chars for description is 200 chars. Where can I change that? Then I could have a larger OneBox - or is it not possible to set how large you want your onebox?

I dont see any limit in the [onebox/lib/onebox/engine/amazon\_onebox.rb at main · discourse/onebox · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/onebox/blob/master/lib/onebox/engine/amazon_onebox.rb) so I thought it might be set more globally somewhere…

Best regards,
