Broken Link / Embed in Strapi EditorJS

[fxmb]

When I try to embed a Link in Strapi it seems that the feature is broken... The link is red and a message pops up saying Couldn't fetch the link data in the Strapi Editor. Any idea how to over come this?

Thanks for any help or pointers!

@franzbewerunge did you follow the installation guide?

[fxmb]

Yes I did. Is there anything particular I need to watch out for? We are hosting on DO and are having no major problems until now... But for somehow the link previews / embedding does not work

what version of strapi are you using?

Hi so I've been looking into this and it seems that to fetch the data the editor makes a request to api/react-editorjs/link however the actual endpoint is at /api/editorjs/link.

So even setting the security middleware won't help since the endpoint is setup incorrectly.

This is the request made by the editor:

And this is the very same request, with changed endpoint:

If you need to fix this quickly you can follow the instructions on how to extend and develop the plugin and in the /admin/src/config/customTools.js you can do this
