Privacy

This plugin registers Meta’s oEmbed API endpoints as providers in WordPress. When a Threads, Instagram, or Facebook URL is embedded:

• WordPress makes a server-side request to graph.threads.com/oembed (Threads), graph.facebook.com/v25.0/instagram_oembed (Instagram), graph.facebook.com/v25.0/oembed_post (Facebook posts), or graph.facebook.com/v25.0/oembed_video (Facebook videos) to fetch the embed HTML.
