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

Sponsorship

Could be part of GSOC 2016 (Read the wiki!)
