Supported platforms
fixem.be picks an adapter by the URL’s host. Each adapter turns a post into the same metadata shape, so a Reddit gallery and a TikTok video come out looking the same to a crawler or an API client.
The live list, with capability flags, is always available from the API at
GET /api/v1/platforms. The table below is the current set.
| Platform | Video | Gallery | Image | Needs cookie | Degrades to |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| yes | yes | yes | no | image | |
| Bluesky | yes | yes | yes | no | link |
| X/Twitter | yes | yes | yes | no | link |
| Twitch | yes | no | yes | no | link |
| Threads | no | no | yes | no | link |
| TikTok | yes | yes | yes | no | link |
| yes | yes | yes | yes | link |
- Needs cookie means the operator must supply a session cookie for the media path to work (see per-platform notes). It is not a per-request setting.
- Degrades to is the card kind fixem.be falls back to when it can reach the post but can’t get the media.
Per-platform notes
Section titled “Per-platform notes”These are the realities of each source, not aspirations:
- Reddit — Images, galleries, and text resolve from the public web HTML. Video degrades to a poster image unless the operator has configured Reddit OAuth credentials, which unlock the full-video path.
- Bluesky — Images, video, and quote posts resolve from the public API. No credentials needed.
- X/Twitter — Photos and video resolve via the syndication endpoint. Deleted or protected posts degrade to a link card.
- Twitch — Clips resolve to a direct, playable MP4 (no proxy needed).
Requires the operator to configure Twitch credentials; without them the
adapter is disabled and won’t appear in
/platforms. - Threads — Frequently bot-challenged from a datacenter IP, so it usually degrades to an informative link card. When it resolves, images work; video does not.
- TikTok — Video and photo posts resolve from the web page. Playback URLs
are IP/cookie-locked, so video is streamed through the signed
/v/proxy. - Instagram — Login-walled from datacenter and residential IPs alike. Works only when the operator supplies a burner session cookie; otherwise it degrades to a link card.
If a host has no adapter, the API returns {"status": "no-adapter"} and the
embed path simply redirects a browser to the URL unchanged.
