Recommendation and links not populating card data

Developer help Self-hosting

I’m having trouble with my site where the recommendation and links to my page are not populating the page’s card data. I have a feeling this might be something im doing in my proxy through the CSP or something through cloudflare, but I have other ghost instances running and this all works fine. It does not appear to be related to the theme as i’ve applied the theme to another instance and I was able to get data back in the card.
When i try to add the site, or add a link, nothing populates in the card view. in dev tools im seeing this returned.
for this post to my other instance - /ghost/api/admin/recommendations/check/
the below is returned

{"recommendations":[{"id":null,"title":null,"description":null,"excerpt":null,"featured_image":null,"favicon":null,"url":"https://myurl.net/","one_click_subscribe":false,"created_at":null,"updated_at":null}]}

How does this call work? I’m trying to understand how the call works to generate the card so I can see what I have modified that is blocking the generation of this card.

This appears to have been related to my proxy somehow. I have pihole that had a local dns record pointing directly to the proxy for my domain i was trying to add. For some reason pointing at the proxy it was not pulling any information. When that was removed, it routed out to the internet, over to cloudflare, through the cloudflare tunnel, and back to the same proxy… peculiar
