# Site Update: WebMention Support
|
||||
|
||||
Recently in my [Various Updates](/blog/various-updates-2020-11-18) post I
|
||||
announced that my website had gotten
|
||||
[WebMention](https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/) support. Today I implemented
|
||||
WebMention integration into blog articles, allowing you to see where my articles
|
||||
are mentioned across the internet. This will not work with every single mention
|
||||
of my site, but if your publishing platform supports sending WebMentions, then
|
||||
you will see them show up on the next deploy of my site.
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to the work of the folks at [Bridgy](https://brid.gy/), I have been able
|
||||
to also keep track of mentions of my content across Twitter, Reddit and
|
||||
Mastodon. My WebMention service will also attempt to resolve Bridgy mention
|
||||
links to their original sources as much as it can. Hopefully this should allow
|
||||
you to post my articles as normal across those networks and have those mentions
|
||||
be recorded without having to do anything else.
|
||||
|
||||
As I mentioned before, this is implemented on top of
|
||||
[mi](https://github.com/Xe/mi). mi receives mentions sent to
|
||||
`https://mi.within.website/api/webmention/accept` and will return a reference
|
||||
URL in the `Location` header. This will return JSON-formatted data about the
|
||||
mention. Here is an example:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
$ curl https://mi.within.website/api/webmention/01ERGGEG7DCKRH3R7DH4BXZ6R9 | jq
|
||||
{
|
||||
"id": "01ERGGEG7DCKRH3R7DH4BXZ6R9",
|
||||
"source_url": "https://maya.land/responses/2020/12/01/i-think-this-blog-post-might-have-been.html",
|
||||
"target_url": "https://christine.website/blog/toast-sandwich-recipe-2019-12-02",
|
||||
"title": null
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is all of the information I store about each WebMention. I am working on
|
||||
title detection (using the
|
||||
[readability](https://github.com/jangernert/readability) algorithm), however I
|
||||
am unable to run JavaScript on my scraper server. Content that is JavaScript
|
||||
only may not be able to be scraped like this.

Many thanks to [Chris Aldrich](https://boffosocko.com/2020/12/01/55781873/) for
|
||||
inspiring me to push this feature to the end. Any articles that don't have any
|
||||
WebMentions yet will link to the [WebMention
|
||||
spec](https://www.w3.org/TR/webmention/).
|
||||
|
||||
Be well.
