Embeds & Short URLs

Distribute and embed grabbed posts cleanly across the web

View Raw Markdown ↗

1. Short URLs

Every grabbed post and story has a dedicated short URL that automatically handles redirections. When a user visits the short URL, they are immediately redirected to the profile view with the corresponding media overlay loaded automatically.

Redirect Link: https://storygrab.net/s/{id}

Example: https://storygrab.net/s/01kty5z12x8hb5z48x9d0j3xyz will redirect to the post's owner's profile page and launch the viewer modal automatically.

2. Iframe Embeds

Embed any grabbed post directly onto external blogs, dashboards, or websites.

GET /embed/post/{id}
