Describe the Bug

I use Karakeep mostly to bookmark X posts, but since a few days ago I see that the only thing saved is the URL. No tags, no text from the X post, no screenshot.

Go to +
Add New Bookmark
Paste an X post URL

Expected Behaviour

I should see a screenshot of the post, the text of the post and all the tags.

Seems to be working fine since yesterday!! I wondered if I can login with my X account in the crawler. So far so good, any advise to prevent reoccurrence of the issue??

It kinda seems like X was blocking your IP or something, and when it got allowed, things started working. The latest release added BROWSER_COOKIE_PATH as a way to attach cookies to certain websites (to mimic being logged in) but it's a slightly advanced feature if you're up for it. It's docs are here (https://docs.karakeep.app/configuration#crawler-configs). Closing the issue as it seems that your problem got resolved.
