oEmbed is an open standard for embedding rich data into other web pages. It’s used by many social sites to provide nicely formatted previews of linked pages.
By default, Emissary includes the title and icon images for every Stream and User on the website. Templates should aid in oEmbed discovery by including <link> tags that point to the .OEmbedJSON and .OEmbedXML URLs, like this:
In addition, you can also create a custom HTML template to generate rich oEmbed previews. To do this, add an extra HTML file in the Template called oembed.html. You don’t need to create a new route. This template uses all of the same values as any other template, but this HTML will be used by the oEmbed endpoint to generate a rich preview for all Streams that use this Template.
