Not a blocker because it's a brand new feature, discussed here: https://expensify.slack.com/archives/C01GTK53T8Q/p1686845846653239?thread_ts=1686840921.260039&cid=C01GTK53T8Q

@wojtus7 I will check the backend for this to see if we need a change there or if there's some other reason this is not working.

[marcaaron]

Hmm so on first blush... this is working for me fine locally.

But the behavior is different on staging 🤔 which makes me think that we are just getting rate limited as we are still testing on the free tier usage. For now, I will add some more logs.

[marcaaron]

Oh yes the soft limit is only 50 requests per day LOL we would break that in 0.00001 seconds.

[marcaaron]

Still on my list to look into.

[marcaaron]

Still setting up the accounts.

@marcaaron we're not now seeing link previews for other sites except google. Seems like this issue is fixed? cc @hungvu193

[marcaaron]

Hmm can you clarify what exactly you are seeing? Like what platform are you testing on? Show me what you did?

To give an update - the rate limiting issue should be fixed now. But we might have CSP issues to look into on web since we are loading images and content that are outside our domain.

[MonilBhavsar]

Sorry, I mean link preview for other sites(except google) is seen. I tested right now on production and it worked!

[marcaaron]

I think we can close this one out then?
