how do i send a random screenshot through my discord bot

a few years ago i found this website that lets you see random screenshots people took, and i wanna make that a command in my discord bot and it works but the images dont show up in discord.

heres what i have so far

if message.content.startswith(prefix + "rss"):
        rss = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_lowercase+string.digits, k=6))
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Random ScreenShot:", color=0x109319)
        embed.set_image(url="https://prnt.sc/"+rss)
        await message.channel.send(embed=embed)

prnt.sc format is (iirc) 2 letters, 4 numbers.

The image you view on the page is hardcoded in the page in b64, so the URL to image you're trying to embed is not an image. If you're wanting a URL to the image, I was able to find it in the <head> section in the og:image meta tag

here's a URL in the og:image meta tag

To get a URL to the image, make a get request to prnt.sc/xx0000, split and pop <meta property="og:image" content=", then split at "> and take element [0]

I have probably overcomplicated this.

A simpler solution would be to paste the prnt.sc link in chat and let discord grab the meta tags and handle the embeds on its end.
