Does facebook support oEmbed?
The support is drastically changing in late 2020, to prevent anonymous access, and instead require a developer account and access token. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed
Embedly is paid. Free alternative is Noembed. :)
No, there is no current support for oEmbed. You have two options (maybe more, but two that I know of):
- Embedly http://embed.ly/
- Engineer yourself an embedding solution for Facebook using the standard form of Facebook video embeds, eg:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=VIDEOID&set=t.SOMENUMBER&type=2
becomes
<object width="400" height="300" ><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="movie" value="http://www.facebook.com/v/VIDEOID" /><embed src="http://www.facebook.com/v/VIDEOID" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300"></embed></object>
Yes Facebook supports oembed. You can checkout the documentation here..
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed-endpoints
Note: In order to make this API work properly with ajax calls on mobile devices; You need to use the endpoint domain "apps.facebook.com" instead of "www.facebook.com":
https://apps.facebook.com/plugins/post/oembed.json/?url={content-url}
This is because if you use the endpoint that is provided in the official documentation "www.facebook.com" the User agent of the mobile devices will force the redirect to "m.facebook.com" which does not have this endpoint implemented.
