How to get the url of FB's post?

[dennisat]

This is not a bug or issue report... but seems to be the only one that can answer.

For instance, load this address https://www.facebook.com/9gag/posts/pfbid024mcPB6f5Q5DWh1XZUkShUznrVFrkpzRfy1krtCA4H5sJQ67Bd4vjWRnqkkRG1U8tl
This is a Post address... a sort off. This address cannot be used as url for you component.

What's the proper way to get a link of a Facebook post to be used in react-social-media-embed?

Getting The URL Of A Facebook Post

Select the ellipsis button next to the post and choose Embed.

Then, click "Advanced settings"

That will bring you to a page that allows you to generate code for the post. Within that code, you can find the link.

So for the post above, the link would be https://www.facebook.com/9gag/posts/10162296746226840. I just tried this link with the demo and it works.

I'll have to add these instructions to the docs since Facebook has this buried. Thanks for opening the issue!
