Link Preview Description Not Display

[ulqarmstrongqhb]

The problem

I tried to send a message with link preview via sendV2, but the link description never shows up, and I think my requests are all correct.

• Yes

Have you read the troubleshooting page?

• Yes

What type of installation are you running?

signal-cli-rest-api Docker Container

In which mode are you using the docker container?

What's the architecture of your host system?

You are missing the base64_thumbnail parameter.

Here is a working example (this example assumes that in the current folder is a file named logo.png):

TMPFILE="$(base64 logo.png)" curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message": "test https://google.at", "number": "<number>", "recipients": ["<recipient>"], "link_preview": {"url": "https://google.at", "title": "abc", "base64_thumbnail": "'"$( base64 -w 0 logo.png)"'"}}' 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v2/send'

TMPFILE="$(base64 logo.png)" curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"message": "test https://google.at", "number": "<number>", "recipients": ["<recipient>"], "link_preview": {"url": "https://google.at", "title": "abc", "base64_thumbnail": "'"$( base64 -w 0 logo.png)"'"}}' 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/v2/send'

I mean the description in the link preview is not showing — not the thumbnail. You can see the link_preview.description parameter in my request body, but there's no description in the preview sent by my bot.

Sorry, I somehow missed that you were talking about the description parameter. Should be fixed with the next release. If you want to give it a try, you can use this version: bbernhard/signal-cli-rest-api:0.194-dev

Thanks, I can confirm that it works well with the next release 0.194-dev ;)
