Cannot add bookmarks from medium.com

[kkreft]

Hello,
I cannot add any bookmarks from the medium.com domain which is unfortunate as lot's of interesting sources are linking to articles published there. Adding new link ends up with the prompt with "Invalid link provided" as the result of 400 Response code.

I thought it's due to the User Agent header set in

digestclub/src/utils/link/index.ts

Line 4 in b1db724

'User-Agent': 'digestclub-bot/1.0',

, but local test using Postman haven't confirmed that, I got the page loaded correctly.

If Medium blocks the digest.club by IP or in other, network-based, way, what are the possibilities? Should we allow to save the bookmark without the preview, as simple link?

Hello @kkreft ! After looking into it, it indeed seems that Medium is blocking our IP in some way. We tested on our pre-production servers (which have a different IP from the production one), and everything works fine there.
We’re now working on finding a solution to get around this issue.

Thanks for pointing this out, we really appreciate it!
