ya Facebook is known for serving legal notices to anybody with facebook in the domain name.

yep, I tested and found it doesn't work for all pages.

It does a request to m.facebook.com/$Q/posts

sometimes it's there, sometimes not.

It's just a demo and only to gauge interest in a full blown API / SaaS of some sort.

Are you generally interested in scraping data from FB using a API?

Re:Show HN: FileConverter using FFMPEG as WASM to convert files on Thursday September 24, 2020 @04:05AM (#24576425)
there's a guy's github that did most of the work for me. It's open source, google around for ffmpeg wasm.

what are the things you wanna do?

Re:Show HN: FileConverter using FFMPEG as WASM to convert files on Monday September 21, 2020 @11:41AM (#24544676)
yes! This is all in browser. It's literally just ffmpeg compiled into wasm.

The wonder of Javascript right?

Re:Show HN: FileConverter using FFMPEG as WASM to convert files on Sunday September 20, 2020 @03:37PM (#24536724)
yes! Can you give an example of what you want? And if you can give me a test case that would be great too!

what business are you doing nowadays if it's not dropshipping?

Signing up for that site at the beginning is genuinely what I would do if I were do it over. Knowledge is power. Literally a $5000 learning curve for $99

Besides, my advice was to sign up, then ask for refund within the first 3 days after reading as much as you can. You get 3 days to do it. Then circle back to it once you need more info or advice

Seriously though, dropshipping is a dumb first business model to do if you're an internet marketing newbie.
