This is the self-hosted version of Iframely's APIs and parsers.
Iframely gives your fast and simple API for responsive web embeds and semantic meta. The parsers cover well over 1800 domains through 200+ custom domain plugins and generic support for oEmbed, Open Graph and Twitter Cards, that are powered by Iframely's whitelist.
The whitelist file is pulled from iframely.com database and is updated automatically. The whitelisting is manual process on our end. You can also have your own whitelist file.
HTTP APIs are available in oEmbed or Iframely API formats. To make it simple to understand, Iframely format 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 data samples from hosted API, just to show you the format:
Iframely can also be used as Node.js library (that's how it is used in our cloud API).
Requires Node version 0.10.22 and up.
Hosted cloud APIs add optional iFrame renders and number of widgets such as cards, GIF support, AMP, and others. This open-source version provides the web parsers only, though hosted API uses data from parsers as-is. The API endpoints between the version should match format pretty closely, though there might be minor discrepancies.
There's also a bunch of domain parsers that are not included in self-hosted version. Those are the parsers that we consider vulnarable for changes on publisher's origin servers and so requiring quicker turnaround time for any updates and fixes.
