Polyfills

Since the Microlink SDK consumes the Microlink API and turns the raw data into a beautiful preview, it needs to perform an internal request to obtain it from the target URL.

To do that, our integrations use the standard

Fetch API

. However, Microlink SDK doesn't add it as part of the bundle: It will take it from window.

That means that window.fetch should be available and accesible.

Although nowadays the

fetch browser compatibility

is good enough, you need to be sure that the environment Microlink SDK is running on has it available.

We recommend using the

polyfill.io

CDN for that purpose, it will only load the polyfill if window.fetch isn't globally detected.

Just add the above to your main markup before the closing body tag.
