## What it is
The canonical oEmbed specification website plus a machine-readable registry of oEmbed providers stored as YAML files. It is also published as the npm package 'oembed-providers' so consumers can ingest the provider list directly.

## Use cases
- get a list of oEmbed providers for my app
- embed youtube and flickr links in my site
- look up the oembed endpoint for a url
- read the oembed spec
- convert a link into embeddable content data

## When to choose
- you need the authoritative oEmbed spec or an up-to-date provider registry
- you're building an oEmbed consumer and want endpoint/scheme mappings without compiling them yourself

## When to avoid
- you need a full oEmbed client library that performs requests and parses responses
- you need providers not listed in the official registry

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, yaml
- domain: web-development, apis, documentation
- platform: php
- tags: oembed, spec, provider-registry, npm-package, embed-urls, web-server, nodejs
