User level: Advanced
Description
oEmbed is a format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third party sites. The simple API allows a website to display embedded content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that resource, without having to parse the resource directly.
http://oembed.com/
It requires 2 URLs:
- URL scheme: https://interfacloud.com/apps/gallery/api/files/download/*
- API endpoint: https://interfacloud.com/apps/gallery/api/oembed/
Benefit / value
It's a standard when it comes to providing more information about an image via a simple link and is even used by the popular embedly.
Risk / caveats
Might require core or another app to store additional information about the file, such as the image's dimension
