> Since the embed controller [tries to look up an existing post by the `embed_url` database column](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/08dce4f477b006f0bf830507aa0f75ac6c3ce895/app/models/topic_embed.rb#L226), I would like to see an API property to set that field when [creating a topic](https://docs.discourse.org/#operation/createTopicPostPM).

I believe this is possible now. The `embed_url` property can be set when you first create the topic. Our WordPress plugin does that here: [wp-discourse/lib/discourse-publish.php at main · discourse/wp-discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/blob/main/lib/discourse-publish.php#L330). The `embed_url` property cannot be updated via the API after the topic has been created.
