Hi everyone,

First and again, thanks for this great product.

I have a question that may look silly. I would like to access to the
embed code by oEmbed jsonp, for a secret presentation. By secret, I
mean a presentation that is mine and private, but I enabled private
url and embed code.

I am a big user of oEmbed api. Ideally, I would like something like
http://www.slideshare.net/api/oembed/1?url=http://www.slideshare.net/secret/abcde&format=json

Is there something enabling it, that I would have missed ? Well, more
generally, I would like my presentation not to be totally public
(searchable and "normal url"), but I would like to access to their api
data and embed code.

Any idea ?
Thanks,
TC

Hey TC,

Embedding information for private presentations is not available via oEmbed, neither do we plan to add it in future. You can use get_slideshow API method as an authenticated user to access this information.

Hey TC, 

I understand your concern that you want to fetch embedding information via AJAX which would not be possible without jsonp for cross domain request. As of now, we don't support json/jsonp response formats (oEmbed being an exception). We have marked it in our development pipeline, but I cant commit on a date. 

As a hack around, you can use the proxy pattern for making cross domain request.

I hope that helps.
