Microlink has supported embed previews for years. We just never built a page to tell anyone about it.
We've shipped a lot over the years and skipped explaining the basic parts.
Slowly fixing that: microlink.io/embed

We also shipped a browsable directory of 300 sites at microlink.io/embed/providers, with a preview-card fallback for anything that doesn't support oEmbed.

Plus, we became maintainers of iamcal/oembed, the provider registry the oEmbed ecosystem runs on.
Those 300 providers come from there — so we'll be keeping that core updated for the whole community, not just for ourselves.

Domain allowlist is enforced server-side, so the key is safe to ship in client code.

We benchmarked cold-start latency across 6 screenshot APIs.
No caching, no warm pools.
7 real-world URLs, all providers triggered simultaneously.
The gap was wider than expected.
