Hi everyone, Running Discourse v2.4.0.beta6+119 We are unable to onebox links to products on amazon.co.uk eg (this works here btw): BG Electrical Double Switched Power Plug Wall Socket, Nexus Metal, Brushed Steel, Grey Inserts, 13A, NBS22G : Amazon.co.uk: Musical Instruments & DJ [image] …

In my experience, Amazon will ban you real quickly if you are hitting them a lot. It’s automated, too.

What does Discourse present as its User-Agent?
