Link embedding

Turn shared URLs into embeddable content

Link embedding is the process of taking a URL and turning it into content your app or website can display. Depending on the URL, that might mean native oEmbed data, embed HTML, a media embed, an iframe-based provider response, or a rich fallback card built from metadata and preview data.

Native embeds

Best when a provider supports oEmbed and returns structured embed data including the provider-generated output.

Embed code

Best when your workflow needs HTML that can be rendered inside a page, CMS, dashboard, or publishing tool.

Media embeds

Best for supported media URLs, videos, audio, posts, or other provider-backed content.

Fallback embed cards

Best when a URL does not support native oEmbed but still needs to display as something more useful than a plain link.

Link unfurling

Best when a pasted URL should expand into a richer card with title, image, description, and source context.

Website embeds

Best when you need to display linked webpages or articles as rich cards inside an app or website.

Generate embed-ready output from a URL

Instead of writing provider-specific embed logic for every URL type, OpenGraph.io helps turn URLs into embed-ready output. If native oEmbed data is available, use it. If not, generate a rich fallback card from the page’s metadata, image, title, description, and source.

  • Generate embed output from a URL
  • Use native oEmbed data when available
  • Display fallback cards when native embeds are unavailable
  • Support user-submitted links inside apps, CMS platforms, dashboards, and publishing tools
  • Avoid maintaining provider-specific embed logic
  • Create richer link experiences than plain URLs

Embeds, link previews, and oEmbed solve different jobs

Not every URL display workflow needs the same output. Some products need native embeds. Some need fallback cards. Some need simple link previews. Others need metadata to build a custom UI. The right product depends on how you want the URL to appear.
