by Kin Lane on 04/06/2011

Now the content "consumer" can take returned information about the Flickr image and display on web page using JavaScript, PHP or other language.

This is just a simple example of using oEmbed to display a Flickr image, much more is possible with oEmbed.

Some oEmbed providers include:

There are several language libraries for deploying oEmbed APIs:

PHP: php-oembed
PHP: Services_oEmbed
Perl: Web-oEmbed
Ruby: oembed_links
Python oEmbed
Django: djangoembed

oEmbed APIs, bundled with simple, configurable JavaScript widgets give API users a simple way to embed and syndicate content to other web sites.

Even for non-developers.
