Suggestion - WordPress Plugin

Since you guys program in PhP, why not create a Pond5 WordPress Plugin.

Specifically, a widget that I can put in my WordPress blog that displays the last "x" approved clips and/or the last "n" sold clips.

I know the RSS feed allows me to display my last "x" approved clips, but what I'd like is for a popup window to display the clip when the user mouses over it. And "more importantly", the link to my clip should include my referral code which the current RSS feed does not do. Also, the current RSS feed does not support "sold" clips, only approved/uploaded clips.

I'd also LOVE to see you support the oEmbed standard (used by YouTube, Google, Vimeo, Facebook, etc..)::

http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds

Which would allow me to embed a clip into my WordPress blog by just adding the URL. This would help me to drive more traffic/buyers to your site since people respond better to video than just plain text.

oembed seems like a good idea.

API endpoint:
http://www.pond5.com/oembed/

Examples:
http://www.pond5.com/oembed/?url=https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/69267/seamless-loop-palmbeach.html
http://www.pond5.com/oembed/?url=https://www.pond5.com/stock-footage/69267/seamless-loop-palmbeach.html&format=xml

It should also honor the http://www.oembed.com/ flags to the API endpoint.

Hey Marcus, wouldn't simply the already offered "Embed Code" suffice? There is one on each individual clip. The only thing that I am not sure about is if it has default referrer built in?

The value of oEmbed is that on sites that support it you can just include a link like:

www.pond5.com/artist/clipid

And the site will automatically discover if there is embeddable video from the link and if so, embed it for you. Make things nice and easy.

Works with YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Flickr, Google Video, etc...

is it
www.pond5.com/dnavarrojr/123
or
www.pond5.com/artist/123
?

On Facebook, if I enter www.pond5.com/vadervideo/627128 - I get :

Link:
<b>www.pond5.com</b>
http://www.pond5.com/vadervideo/627128

(text only)

If I put www.pond5.com/artist/627128

I get:
Link
627128 at Pond5.com : The World's Stock Footage Marketplace
http://www.pond5.com/artist/627128

Royalty free stock video footage by 627128. Instantly downloadable HD and SD stock video.

But neither way embeds the actual video, it only creates links.

If I embed the object tag I get:

www.pond5.com
http://www.pond5.com/pond5FlashPlayer2.s...


(also no video) weird - on blogger this works well.

Typically it's "site/artist/clip" but I've seen it as "http://site?artist=dnavarrojr&clip=1234"

Like this?
https://www.pond5.com/oembed/?url=http://www.pond5.com/artist/357837

I am installing the oEmbed discovery plugin on one of my WordPress sites and I'll let you know.
