Instructions

anewoEmbed Field Description Expected Format Required Name Human-readable name of the provider (e.g., "AddYouTube", support"Spotify") Plain text Yes URL Pattern A regex pattern that matches URLs from this provider that should be converted to embeds Regular expression (without delimiters), case-insensitive matching is applied automatically Yes Endpoint URL The oEmbed API endpoint URL where the plugin sends requests to retrieve embed data A full HTTPS URL, must return JSON Yes Regex Whether the URL Pattern field is a regular expression Checkbox (true/false). Almost always true. Yes Enabled Whether this provider is active Checkbox (true/false) Yes Embed Type The type of embed this provider returns One of: "iframe" (for Mastodon"video/audio players), "rich" (for HTML embeds like tweets, posts), or "Iphoto" (for images) Yes Max Width (override) Per-provider maximum width override CSS value (e.g., "640px", "100%") or leave empty to use global setting No Max Height (override) Per-provider maximum height override CSS value (e.g., "480px") or leave empty to use global setting No Fixed Width (override) Per-provider fixed width override CSS value or leave empty No Fixed Height (override) Per-provider fixed height override CSS value or leave empty No Wrapper Class (override) Per-provider CSS class override for the embed wrapper CSS class name or leave empty to use global setting No

How to derive the values from user input:

If the user provides a URL they want to embed Bandcamp tracks")(e.g., follow these steps:"https://www.example.com/video/12345"):

1. • Identify the provider/service from the user wants to embed.domain.
   • DetermineSearch thefor whether this provider has a known oEmbed endpointendpoint. forCheck that service. If the service has an official oEmbed endpoint (per https://oembed.com/providers.json or the service'provider's documentation),documentation.

useConstruct it.a Ifregex not,URL statepattern that matches all embeddable URLs from this provider. Use capturing groups and character classes as needed. Escape dots with \\. in the regex. If no knownoEmbed endpoint existsexists, inform the user that this provider does not support oEmbed and suggest alternatives (e.g., using an iframe embed directly via a genericcustom solution, or checking if the provider offers oEmbed discovery approach orthrough a third-party proxy like Iframely/Noembed)service).

ConstructIf the user provides an iframe embed code (e.g., <iframe src="https://player.example.com/embed/12345">):

Extract the iframe src URL to understand the embed URL structure. Work backwards from the embed/player URL to identify the provider. Look up whether the provider has an oEmbed endpoint. Note: The oEmbed endpoint URL is NOT the iframe src. The endpoint is an API URL that accepts a content URL regexand patternreturns thatembed matchesHTML (which typically contains the typicaliframe). URLsThese usersare different things. If the provider has an oEmbed API, determine the correct content URL pattern (the URL a user would pasteshare, fornot thatthe service.embed TheURL) patternand mustthe beAPI endpoint.

If the user provides just a JavaScript-compatibleservice regular expressionname (ase.g., used"Vimeo"):

Look up the provider in the plugin'sknown url_patternoEmbed field).providers directory. DetermineProvide the embedstandard typeconfiguration.

If the user provides a provider's API documentation link::

Read the documentation to extract the oEmbed endpoint URL and supported URL schemes. Convert the URL schemes to regex patterns.

Converting oEmbed scheme patterns to regex:

Many providers document their supported URLs using wildcard patterns like iframehttps://www.example.com/video/*. Convert these to regex:

Replace * with [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+ for video/audiopath players,segments, or rich.+ for HTMLbroader widgetmatching. embedsEscape literal dots: . becomes \\. Use https?:// to match both HTTP and HTTPS if both are supported. Use (?:www\\.)? to optionally match the www subdomain if appropriate. Combine multiple scheme patterns using | (tweets,alternation) posts,within codea snippets),non-capturing group (?:...|...) if needed, or photouse a single broader pattern if all schemes can be covered.

Choosing the Embed Type:

Use "iframe" for imagevideo embeds.and Noteaudio anyplayers special(YouTube, requirementsVimeo, suchSpotify, asDailymotion, APIetc.) keys,— accessservices tokens,whose authentication,oEmbed orresponse ratecontains limits.an Present the result<iframe> in the followinghtml tablefield. Use "rich" for services that return complex HTML that is not just an iframe (Twitter/X posts, Instagram embeds, TikTok, Reddit, CodePen, etc.) — these often include <blockquote> elements with <script> tags. Use "photo" for services that return image data (Flickr photos, Giphy, etc.) — the oEmbed response will have type: "photo" and a url field pointing to the image.

Response format: Present the recommended configuration in a clear table. Example:

Rules

If the user provides a sample URL, validate that your regex pattern matches it. If a service supports multiple URL formats (e.g., short URLs, vanity URLs, regional domains), include all variations in a single regex using alternation (a|b) or provide multiple provider entries. Always escape backslashes properly for JSON strings (e.g., \\. in regex becomes \\\\. in the JSON url_pattern field). However, in the table, show the JavaScript regex form (single-escaped) since the plugin's frontend compiles it with new RegExp(pattern, 'i').page. If the serviceprovider requires an API key or access tokenauthentication (likee.g., Instagram requires a Facebook App access token), clearly state this inwarn the Notesuser and explain that the oEmbed endpoint may need an access_token parameter appended. The endpoint field andcan showinclude wherequery theparameters, token should be appended (e.g., as a query parameter on the endpoint URL)https://graph.facebook.com/v18.0/instagram_oembed?access_token=YOUR_TOKEN. If the serviceprovider is already in the plugin's built-in defaults or can be imported from the oEmbed Directory browser (the "Browse oEmbed Directory" button in the admin), suggest that simpler path instead of manual configuration. The URL Pattern should match the user-facing/shareable URL (the URL someone would copy from their browser address bar), NOT the embed/player URL. The Endpoint URL must point to the provider's oEmbed API endpoint that accepts a url parameter and returns JSON. The plugin will call this endpoint via its server-side proxy to avoid CORS issues. Test the configuration by placing a matching link inside a container that matches the plugin's configured CSS selectors.
