About

Iframely returns preview metadata, thumbnails and responsive embed HTML for any URL, through oEmbed and Iframely JSON endpoints covering 1,900+ publishers such as YouTube and Instagram. Hosted plans count a hit per hour of URL activity; an MIT-licensed server self-hosts fewer parsers.

What you can do with it

  • Turn pasted YouTube, Instagram or SoundCloud links into responsive embeds
  • Get the title, description and thumbnail of any URL for a preview card
  • Serve an oEmbed endpoint for 1,900+ publishers in a CMS or chat app
