link2threadsWhich Links Can Become Thread Cards? 26 Popular Sites Checked
2026-10-14T20:30:00+07:00
We get this question a lot: "Can Link2Threads handle [site]?" So we stopped guessing and tested. We ran 26 popular sites through our card generator and recorded exactly what happens.
The short version
17 out of 26 worked. The pattern is clear: standard e-commerce sites and blogs work great. Sites with aggressive bot protection or heavy JavaScript do not — yet.
E-commerce: 7 out of 10
Works: Amazon, 11st, Gmarket, AliExpress, eBay, Temu, SSG.com
Amazon was the star — product name, price, discount rate, star rating, and seller info all extracted cleanly. The Korean platforms 11st, Gmarket, and SSG.com also worked, pulling product names and prices without issues.
DOES NOT work (yet): Naver SmartStore, Coupang, Shopee
Naver redirects our crawler to a login page. Coupang shows an access-denied page. Shopee returns an empty page because it loads everything with JavaScript.
WE ARE working on official API integrations for these. Naver Shopping is first on the list — it is the one you've asked about most.
News & blogs: 5 out of 6
Works: Naver News, Tistory, Medium, Brunch, Substack
DOES NOT work: New York Times (paywall — and we are not going to bypass paywalls)
If it is a standard article page, we handle it. This is the workflow most of our users already rely on.
Social & video: 2 out of 5
Works: Instagram, X (via Open Graph tags)
DOES NOT work: YouTube, TikTok, Threads
This one surprised us too — Instagram and X posts extract just fine through their meta tags. YouTube and TikTok need JavaScript rendering, which is on our roadmap.
Why 9 sites failed: three honest reasons
1. Bot protection. Naver and Coupang actively block crawlers. THERE IS no clever workaround — the only clean path is official APIs.
2. JavaScript rendering. Shopee, YouTube, and TikTok load content dynamically after the page loads. Our crawler reads static HTML. WE ARE adding headless browser rendering to handle these.
3. Paywalls. The New York Times blocks non-subscribers. We respect that and will not try to get around it.
What this means for you
If you are using Link2Threads as a marketing tool: Amazon, 11st, Gmarket, SSG.com, and your own blog work right now. Paste the URL, get cards, publish.
For Naver Shopping, Coupang, Shopee, and YouTube — we are building support. When each one goes live, we will announce it here and update this post.
No hidden limitations. If a link does not work, we will tell you why.
Tested October 14, 2026. This post will be updated as platform support expands.
