Hello,

We made some significant changes in our conversion stack in the last few months. As a side effect, it has broken some client applications using oEmbed to generate slide image URLs. If you are using slide-image-baseurl and slide-image-baseurl-suffix fields of oEmbed response, you need to make some required changes in your application logic. Going forward, you'll find a new field named as conversion-version in the oEmbed response. Given below is how you can use it in your logic:

for i in total-slides do
  if conversion-version == 2  
    url_slide[i] = slide-image-baseurl + i + slide-image-baseurl-suffix
  else
    url_slide[i] = slide-image-baseurl + '-slide-' + i + slide-image-baseurl-suffix
  end
end

We are soon going to update all the slideshows to the version 2 in about a month's time. Then you'll be able to do away with the else part of the application logic. I'll update the group with new changes.

Hello,

I accessed oEmbed API.

The result was
conversion_version: 1
slide_image_baseurl_suffix: ".jpg&big=1"

So, I think the slide image urls should be
and so on.

But I can't access these urls.
Do you know why this issue happens?

Thanks,
Hideki Hayashi

Hello,

Thanks for resolving the issue.

I found one more issue.

http://www.slideshare.net/api/oembed/2?url=http://www.slideshare.net/hayatomizuno/jquery-7665168
---
slide_image_baseurl:
"http://images.slidesharecdn.com/random-110418105132-phpapp02"
conversion_version: 1
slide_image_baseurl_suffix: "-768.jpg"
---
One of these slide image urls should be
http://images.slidesharecdn.com/random-110418105132-phpapp02-slide-1-768.jpg
But I can't access this url.

Thanks,
Hideki Hayashi

Hello,

The issue reported has been fixed. You can call the oEmbed endpoint again to get the updated prefix and suffix codes.

Hello guys,

I'm trying use the oEmbed api to get single images, but I always get a "Access Denied".

That's the URL I'm using:
Result:
{}

Then I build a URL like this:

and as a result, Im getting this XML:

<Error>
<Code>
AccessDenied
</Code>
<Message>
Access Denied
</Message>
<RequestId>
C098126A2C0E4DBB
</RequestId>
<HostId>
Y87zfUwZwsobQbd1KZMankjII1aDnEUTEAlR3ChcbVrQxIp0+bxQAIx8tuLhC/i+
</HostId>
</Error>

Is that a normal error ? or I have to pass others params that I'm missing here ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

As Jai discussed earlier, we have updated almost all the slideshows to the version 2. Please generate image url in the way Jai suggested to avoid any problem with your application.

for i in total-slides do
  if conversion-version == 2  
    url_slide[i] = slide-image-baseurl + i + slide-image-baseurl-suffix
  else
    url_slide[i] = slide-image-baseurl + '-slide-' + i + slide-image-baseurl-suffix
  end
end

Thanks,

This is exactly how I am accessing the images, but getting "Access Denied" every time. Has the method of accessing this changed?

example:

slideinfo:{

    "author_name" = "Buffy Hamilton";

    "author_url" = "http://www.slideshare.net/buffyjhamilton";

    "conversion_version" = 2;

    height = 355;

    html = "<iframe src=\"http://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/15129865\" width=\"427\" height=\"356\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"border:1px solid #CCC;border-width:1px 1px 0;margin-bottom:5px\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen> </iframe> <div style=\"margin-bottom:5px\"> <strong> <a href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/buffyjhamilton/participatory-librarianship-shaping-conversations-to-advocate-the-impact-of-our-academic-libraries-academic-library-association-of-ohio-alao-38th-annual-conference\" title=\"Participatory Librarianship Shaping Conversations to Advocate the Impact of Our Academic Libraries, Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) 38th Annual Conference\" target=\"_blank\">Participatory Librarianship Shaping Conversations to Advocate the Impact of Our Academic Libraries, Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) 38th Annual Conference</a> </strong> from <strong><a href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/buffyjhamilton\" target=\"_blank\">Buffy Hamilton</a></strong> </div>";

    "provider_name" = SlideShare;

    "provider_url" = "http://www.slideshare.net";

    "slide_image_baseurl" = "http://image.slidesharecdn.com/participatorylibrarianshipshapingconversationstoadvocatetheimpactofouracademiclibrariesalao2012-121111192742-phpapp02/85/slide-";

    "slide_image_baseurl_suffix" = "-728.jpg";

    "slideshow_id" = 15129865;

    thumbnail = "http://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/participatorylibrarianshipshapingconversationstoadvocatetheimpactofouracademiclibrariesalao2012-121111192742-phpapp02-thumbnail.jpg?1352843851";

    "thumbnail_height" = 128;

    "thumbnail_width" = 170;

    title = "Participatory Librarianship Shaping Conversations to Advocate the Impact of Our Academic Libraries, Academic Library Association of Ohio (ALAO) 38th Annual Conference";

    "total_slides" = 68;

    type = rich;

    version = "1.0";

    "version_no" = 1352843851;

    width = 425;

}
