facebed

A Facebook embed provider for Discord and other messaging apps.

For users:

Replace www.facebook.com in your Facebook URL to facebed.com.

Public post and group comment permalinks are supported: copy the comment's timestamp link, keeping comment_id and (for a reply) reply_comment_id in the URL. The embed shows the comment author, body, available attachment, timestamp, reactions and reply count. Facebook must expose the comment to logged-out requests; unavailable comments use the existing Facebook fallback card.

Vencord settings

Using regex:

• Find: https://(www.)?facebook.com/(.*)
• Replace: https://facebed.com/$2

For developers and maintainers

Deployment

1. Install python>=3.12 with pip and virtualenv
2. Clone this repository
3. Copy start.example.py to start.py and edit the PYTHON variable to point to your venv or system installation (not recommended)
4. Copy user_config.example.py to user_config.py and edit the self-explanatory options
5. Start the start.py script

Start command and virtual environment

I recommend running facebed in a virtual environment if you don't want to pollute your system-wide python installation.

Copy start.example.py to start.py and edit the PYTHON variable to the full path of your python interpreter. Two examples are provided for running facebed in a venv virtual environment on Windows and Linux. After that, you can start facebed by running python start.py using your system's python since that script doesn't have any external dependencies.
