These methods pull data in for the saved URL to present content about the mark.
For this we use the service Embed.ly to handle the processing of the URL.
In order to use this you need to signup for a free account and then add you API key.
You can find the API config setting under /application/config/all/app.php towards the bottom.
Replace $config['embedly_api_key'] = ''; with $config['embedly_api_key'] = 'YOUR_API_KEY';.
$this->load->helper('oembed');Processes the URL and returns content.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| $url | string | N/A | Yes | The URL to process |
| $key | string | N/A | Yes | The API key for Embed.ly (see above) |
A method containing a list of whitelisted URl's so the service is not checking every URL. Feel free to add your own.
