 * The tool is great, but right now I need to copy&paste the content from a website
   which pulls the open graph information.
 * Image, title and summary could have an option to be pulled automatic from the
   open graph imformation (but should be editable after). The image must have the
   option to download from open graph image URL and store local (local is needed
   do to GDPR)

 * Hi again,
 * I wanted to let you know that we just released Visual Link Preview 1.3.0 which
   includes this feature for external links.
 * Take note that it does not work in Gutenberg yet, only in the classic editor 
   for now.

   Inserted [https://faz.net](https://faz.net) (also tried [https://sueddeutsche.de](https://sueddeutsche.de))

 * Mmm. I used the [https://microlink.io](https://microlink.io) API for this and
   it doesn’t seem to be recognizing those sites for some reason. Can you check 
   if it works for you for something like [https://www.google.com](https://www.google.com)

 * Will have to look into using a different API then. There’s are a few other priorities
   right now but will get back to it and let you know.

 * I did see that one but that would require people to sign up for an account there
   first and its free plan has a maximum of 20 lookups per hour, so it’s not ideal.
 * I’ll look into it later.

   I’ll update this topic when we know more.

 * Hi there,
 * I wanted to let you know we just released VLP 2.0.0 with quite a few improvements.
 * As part of the update I was also looking into other APIs but it actually looks
   like the one we were already using has improved. All the examples you gave before(
   like [https://faz.net](https://faz.net) and [https://sueddeutsche.de](https://sueddeutsche.de))
   seem to work for me now!
