Feature Request: Include GUID/Shortlink in WPNA IA Markup

    Hi,
    The ‘domain.com/feed/facebook-instant-articles’ includes a ‘guid’ property with the shortlink to the article, as shown below:
    <guid isPermaLink="false">https://example.com/?p=29710</guid>

    This is similar to how the full version of the article in the webpage has the ‘shortlink’ property in the header, as shown below:
    <link rel='shortlink' href='https://example.com/?p=29710' />

    Facebook uses these shortlink tags from the feed/html page.

    Can this be included in the ‘wpna_ia_markup’ version of the page and on the API version as well?

    Thanks,

    Hi Haneef,

    I’m afraid that’s not actually treated as a permalink by Facebook but rather just a unique hash for that RSS Feed item. If you checkout the official docs here you’ll see that they just use an MD5 hash in the examples and not a URL at all. We only use the guid because it’s a handy built in WordPress function for creating a unique hash for that article.

    All the best.
