Iframely is fast and simple HTTP API for responsive web embeds. It also can be used as Node.js library.
HTTP API are available as oEmbed or Iframely API formats. Iframely formats basically mimics the <head> section of the page with its meta and links elements.
In response to url request, APIs returns you the embeds and meta for a requested web page. Below are samples from hosted API, just to show you the format:
Iframely does it by parsing oEmbed, Open Graph and Twitter Cards and general meta on the original page. Or by using specific domain plugins in the package.
There are over 150 custom domains included as open-source. Plus, there is a whitelist option for oEmbed, Open Graph and Twitter Cards that acts like a gigantic plugin for generic parsers. You can create your own whitelist or get one with over 1600 domains from Iframely. By default, our whitelist with Top 100 domains is included for free with your package.
