Providers must specify one or more URL scheme and API endpoint pairs
From what I understand this means that all providers must specify these, yet for YouTube (and some others) I don't see any scheme url's. Am I missing something here or is the http://oembed.com/providers.json simply incomplete?
yeah, it seems like these are just missing. the youtube examples indicate the scheme partially, but i'm not sure what is covered: https://github.com/iamcal/oembed/blob/master/providers.yml
I dont know why this hasnt been fixed for almost 1½ freaking years. the list is pretty incomplete.
Is this project still alive?
There's not really any need - most providers (including YouTube) just use the discovery link tags
If one is to find links in content and replace them with the html from the oEmbed response wouldn't that require a complete list of schemes? As far as I understand WordPress and Drupal keeps their own providers and schemes lists for this purpose.
Otherwise one would have to call every link one find to get the tag info, and then call the endpoint to get the result? Or am I missing something in my understanding of how this works?
Would you @iamcal be interested if I made a pull request with fixes to the provider list? I think it would be nice to have a complete list as possible.
Most consumers of oEmbed use discovery, which does not require a registry. While I still merge registry update pull requests, it's not necessary that they be correct.
With that said, I'll happily accept any pull requests that update the provider registry.
