Embeds & Short URLs

Distribute and embed archived posts cleanly across the web

1. Short URLs

Every archived 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 archived post directly onto external blogs, dashboards, or websites. The embed page delivers a clean, responsive layout optimised for mobile and desktop screens, including native support for image posts, carousel navigation, and video playback.

GET /embed/post/{id}
