Embedly (YC W10) releases new version of their API

Definitely by design right now. We want to streamline the effort of applications, sites and developers to get access to our service. Feel free to use our contact form if you have other questions.

In my case, their landing page was more than enough.

I was searching for exactly this service for my social network startup. Found Embedly, navigated to api docs, went live in just an hour or two. Great service, I almost forgot it's there until seeing this thread.

I figured out what they do by pressing on "documentation." Definitely not ideal, most website visitors will not want to click on a button called documentation.

But the documentation was clearly written. I figured out how it works after reading the first page.

One note to Embedly: the first example in your documentation includes a link to a blogging site that no longer exists. You might want to change that so your customers do not think your service is old or abandoned.

My question is, what does embedly solve that oembed doesn't?

Coming soon....http://pro.embed.ly/
