“Can be null.”

_ **Will be null.** _

It’s nice to spend time and set up a project based on documentations only to realize when it doesn’t work that what’s written there just simply was never a thing. 🫠

I’ve given up on the official API and I’m just the API the website uses with my own credentials.

I have some public code, but it’s very geared towards my own project. I’m open to working on an OpenAPI spec together.

The `embed_url` returns the link attached to a post, if the post was a “link” post type. Media / images attached to the post is not available via the api.
