Featured Image URL Retrieval
March 8, 2025 · AI Conversations
1. **Make a GET request with `_embed`:**
Append `?_embed` to your API endpoint URL to include embedded resources, such as the featured image, in the response.
https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed
2. **Parse the JSON response:**
In the JSON response, each post object will contain an `_embedded` field. To access the featured image URL, navigate to `_embedded['wp:featuredmedia'][0].source_url`.
Here's an example of how you might extract the featured image URL in Python:
import requests
response = requests.get('https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed')
posts = response.json()
for post in posts:
if 'wp:featuredmedia' in post['_embedded']:
featured_image_url = post['_embedded']['wp:featuredmedia'][0]['source_url']
print(f"Post ID: {post['id']}, Featured Image URL: {featured_image_url}")
else:
print(f"Post ID: {post['id']} has no featured image.")
This script fetches the posts with embedded media and prints out the featured image URL for each post.
For more detailed information on this method, you can refer to the article by Misha Rudrastyh. citeturn0search3
By using the `_embed` parameter, you can efficiently retrieve the featured image URLs without the need for additional API requests or custom code modifications.

### Fix the `v-radio-group` Binding
Your `v-radio-group` is missing `v-model`, which should be bound to `picked`.
#### Update this:
<v-radio-group>
#### To this:
<v-radio-group v-model="picked">
This ensures that the selected radio button updates `picked` correctly.

### Fix the `v-img` Source
You're using:
:src="post._embedded['wp:featuredmedia']['0'].source_url"
If a post doesn't have a featured image, this will cause an error. Instead, use optional chaining (`?.`) to prevent errors:
:src="post._embedded?.['wp:featuredmedia']?.[0]?.source_url || 'fallback-image.jpg'"
Replace `'fallback-image.jpg'` with a default image URL.
—
### Debugging
To check if `picked` is updating correctly, add:
watch(picked, (newUrl) => {
console.log("New API URL: ", newUrl); // Debugging
if (newUrl) {
loading.value = true;
fetchPosts(newUrl);
}
}, { immediate: true });
—
### Summary of Fixes:
1. **Bind `v-model` in `v-radio-group`**: “
2. **Fix `v-img` URL handling**: Use optional chaining.
3. **Debugging**: Add `console.log(newUrl)` inside `watch(picked, …)` to verify changes.
This should resolve the issue where changing the radio button doesn't update the API URL. 🚀
### Define the Array in `script setup`
<script setup>
import { ref, watch } from 'vue';
import axios from "axios";
const sources = ref([
{ label: "Mozilla Blog", value: "https://blog.mozilla.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed" },
{ label: "Time", value: "https://time.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed" },
{ label: "PostMymeds", value: "https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed" },
{ label: "Connacht Tribune", value: "https://connachttribune.ie/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed" }
]);
const picked = ref(sources.value[0].value); // Default selection
const posts = ref([]);
const loading = ref(true);
const error = ref(null);
const fetchPosts = async (url) => {
try {
const response = await axios.get(url);
posts.value = response.data;
} catch (err) {
error.value = "Error fetching posts";
} finally {
loading.value = false;
}
};
// Watch for changes in selected radio button and fetch posts
watch(picked, (newUrl) => {
if (newUrl) {
loading.value = true;
fetchPosts(newUrl);
}
}, { immediate: true });
</script>

### Bind the Array to `v-radio-group` in Template:
<v-radio-group v-model="picked">
<v-radio v-for="source in sources" :key="source.value" :label="source.label" :value="source.value"></v-radio>
</v-radio-group>
—
### How It Works:
– We store the API sources as an array of objects (`sources`).
– We set the default selected value to the first item in the array.
– We use `v-for` to dynamically generate `v-radio` options.
– We watch `picked` for changes and fetch posts accordingly.
This makes your code more dynamic and scalable! 🚀
### ✅ **Solution: Use a reactive object to store expanded states**
Modify your code as follows:
—
### **1️⃣ Add a reactive object for expanded states**
import { ref, watch } from 'vue';
import axios from "axios";
const picked = ref("https://postmymeds.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?_embed");
const posts = ref([]);
const loading = ref(true);
const error = ref(null);
const expandedPosts = ref({}); // Store expanded states for each post
const fetchPosts = async (url) => {
try {
const response = await axios.get(url);
posts.value = response.data;
// Reset expandedPosts when new posts are loaded
expandedPosts.value = {};
} catch (err) {
error.value = "Error fetching posts";
} finally {
loading.value = false;
}
};
watch(picked, (newUrl) => {
if (newUrl) {
loading.value = true;
fetchPosts(newUrl);
}
}, { immediate: true });
const toggleExpand = (postId) => {
expandedPosts.value[postId] = !expandedPosts.value[postId];
};

### **2️⃣ Update Your Template**
Modify the `v-btn` to toggle only the clicked post:
<v-card v-for="post in posts" :key="post.id">
<v-img
height="200px"
:src="post._embedded?.['wp:featuredmedia']?.[0]?.source_url || 'fallback.jpg'"
cover
></v-img>
<v-card-title>
{{ post.title.rendered }}
</v-card-title>
<v-card-actions>
<v-btn color="orange-lighten-2" text="Explore"></v-btn>
<v-spacer></v-spacer>
<v-btn
:icon="expandedPosts[post.id] ? 'mdi-chevron-up' : 'mdi-chevron-down'"
@click="toggleExpand(post.id)"
></v-btn>
</v-card-actions>
<v-expand-transition>
<div v-show="expandedPosts[post.id]">
<v-divider></v-divider>
<v-card-text v-html="post.excerpt.rendered"></v-card-text>
</div>
</v-expand-transition>
</v-card>
—
### ✅ **What This Fixes:**
– 🎯 Each post has its own expanded state.
– 🎯 Clicking one post does not affect others.
– 🎯 When new posts are loaded, the expanded states reset.
🚀 Now only the clicked post expands while others remain closed! 🚀

### ✅ **Solution: Add an anchor “ tag to wrap `v-card`**
Modify your `v-card` component like this:
<v-card v-for="post in posts" :key="post.id">
<a :href="post.link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;">
<v-img
height="200px"
:src="post._embedded?.['wp:featuredmedia']?.[0]?.source_url || 'fallback.jpg'"
cover
></v-img>
<v-card-title>
{{ post.title.rendered }}
</v-card-title>
</a>
<v-card-actions>
<v-btn color="orange-lighten-2" :href="post.link" target="_blank">Read More</v-btn>
<v-spacer></v-spacer>
<v-btn
:icon="expandedPosts[post.id] ? 'mdi-chevron-up' : 'mdi-chevron-down'"
@click="toggleExpand(post.id)"
></v-btn>
</v-card-actions>
<v-expand-transition>
<div v-show="expandedPosts[post.id]">
<v-divider></v-divider>
<v-card-text v-html="post.excerpt.rendered"></v-card-text>
</div>
</v-expand-transition>
</v-card>
—
### ✅ **What This Does**
– Wraps the `v-card` title and image in an “ tag so users can click anywhere.
– Adds a "Read More" button that also links to the post.
– Opens the post in a new tab (`target="_blank"`) for a better user experience.
🚀 Now users can click the card or the button to visit the full post! 🚀

### ✅ **1️⃣ External Link (opens in a new tab)**
If you want the button to link to an external website:
<v-btn icon :href="'https://example.com'" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
<v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
</v-btn>
– `:href="url"` → Links to an external page.
– `target="_blank"` → Opens in a new tab.
– `rel="noopener noreferrer"` → Improves security.
—
### ✅ **2️⃣ Internal Link (Vue Router)**
If you are using Vue Router for internal navigation:
<v-btn icon :to="'/profile'">
<v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
</v-btn>
– `:to="'/profile'"` → Navigates within the Vue app.
—
### ✅ **3️⃣ Conditional Internal/External Link**
If the link can be internal or external, you can use both `href` and `to` dynamically:
<v-btn icon :to="isInternal ? '/profile' : null" :href="isInternal ? null : 'https://example.com'">
<v-icon>mdi-account</v-icon>
</v-btn>
– If `isInternal` is `true`, it uses `to` for Vue Router.
– If `isInternal` is `false`, it uses `href` for external links.
🚀 Now your button is fully functional as a link! 🚀

—
### ✅ **Solution 1: Use `router-link` for internal navigation**
If you're using Vue Router, wrap the toolbar title with “:
<router-link to="/" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;">
<v-toolbar-title>My Application</v-toolbar-title>
</router-link>
– This ensures Vue Router handles the navigation.
– `style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;"` keeps the styling consistent.
—
### ✅ **Solution 2: Use “ for external links**
If the link is external (e.g., `https://example.com`), use an “ tag:
<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: inherit;">
<v-toolbar-title>My Application</v-toolbar-title>
</a>
– `target="_blank"` opens the link in a new tab.
– `rel="noopener noreferrer"` improves security.
—
🚀 Now your toolbar title will be a clickable link! 🚀
