oEmbed is an
open format designed to allow embedding content from a website into another page. The specification was created by
Cal Henderson,

Twitter to make tweets embeddable in blog posts and by blogging platforms like
Medium to allow content authors to include those snippets.
An oEmbed exchange occurs between a consumer and a provider. A consumer wishes to show an embedded representation of a third-party resource on their own website, such as a photo or an embedded video. A provider implements the oEmbed
