Iframely VS 1871

• “No code”
  Instead of API calls, an option to use our HTML template and some JavaScript spice.
• JSON
  Only two endpoints to choose from and connect: complete Iframely data or a simple oEmbed connector. Both have the html field for you to embed.
• Cards and URLs previews
  Engage your users with URL preview cards, just like they expect in a modern app. Change cards design easily in your settings.
• React and JavaScript
  React, and other JavaScript runtimes won’t let you run third-party scripts. Iframely fixes this by hosting media in an iFrame instead.

  Rich media will resize and fit your site’s design on any device, with a correct aspect ratio or a horizontal height.
