oEmbed endpoint support

[Andrew Nacin]

Hello,

I'm a lead developer of WordPress. There are a lot of WordPress groups on meetup.com (we're involved in the chapter account program) and we'd like to add support for meetup.com's oEmbed endpoint in WordPress itself (the one documented at http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/docs/oembed/).

oEmbed is a fairly fragile and esoteric specification, and we've seen API providers ignore, break, or remove support for it, which can cause grief for users. Twitter.com, for example, has now broken it four or five times. :-) So before we add new providers, we try to double-check with them that their endpoint is actively supported.

Thanks!

It is supported and we don't plan on removing it any time soon. I'm glad to hear you are planning on making use of it. While it hasn't changed in a while, I do have some eventual plans to update the markup that gets returned. Since this endpoint was added much of meetup.com has changed stylistically, in particular, the find page changed the way we represent groups to a more card-like format -- http://www.meetup.com/find/. I've been thinking of giving some of the oembed templates a fresh with the same coat of paint. If you have thoughts on how it could be improved let us know.

You can get a preview of what these would look like using the API console for a given group or event. Here is an example http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/console/?path=/oembed&exec=true&url=http://www.meetup.com/ny-tech/

 

Thanks!
