Now the content "consumer" can take returned inkinlane-productions2.s3.amazonaws.com display on web page using JavaScript, PHP or other language.

This is just a simple example of using oEmbed to display a Flickr image, much more is possible with [oEmbed](http://woorkup.com/2010/01/16/emerging-techniques-every-web-developer-should-know/ "oEmbed").

Some oEmbed providers include:![](https://kinlane-images.s3.amazonaws.com/apievangelist/oembed/oEmbed.jpg)

There are several language libraries for deploying oEmbed APIs:

*   PHP: [php-oembed](http://code.google.com/p/php-oembed/ "php-oembed")
*   PHP: [Services\_oEmbed](http://pear.php.net/package/Services_oEmbed "Services-oEmbed")
*   Perl: [Web-oEmbed](http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/Web-oEmbed/ "Web-oEmbed")
*   Ruby: [oembed\_links](http://github.com/netshade/oembed_links "oembed_links")
*   Python [oEmbed](http://code.google.com/p/python-oembed/ "oEmbed")
*   Django: [djangoembed](http://github.com/worldcompany/djangoembed "djangoembed")

oEmbed APIs, bundled with simple, configurable JavaScript widgets give API users a simple way to embed and syndicate content to other web sites.

Even for non-developers.
