Integration using oEmbed

oEmbed is a simple API that allows a website to display embedded content (such as p3d.in models) when a user posts a link to that resource, without having to parse the resource directly.

You can use the API endpoint to request the embed code for a p3d.in model from its URL. The response format will be JSON.

A few valid examples:

https://p3d.in/oembed?url=https://p3d.in/9GLHs

https://p3d.in/oembed?url=https://p3d.in/9GLHs+spin

https://p3d.in/oembed?url=https://p3d.in/e/9GLHs+xray&width=800&height=600

The following arguments are provided:

Argument Description Example
title The name of the model. p3d.in logo
description The model description written by the user. The p3d.in 3D logo
url The URL for the model in p3d.in https://p3d.in/9GLHs
author_name The name of the model's owner account. admin
provider_name p3d.in brand name. p3d.in
provider_url p3d.in's URL. https://p3d.in
thumbnail_url A persistent thumbnail image of the model. https://p3d.in/model_data/snapshot/9GLHs
thumbnail_width The thumbnail's width. 512
thumbnail_height The thumbnail's height. 512
width The width of the iframe. Can be set by the URL. 640
height The height of the iframe. Can be set by the URL. 480
html The actual iframe object code for embedding. <iframe src="https://p3d.in/e/9GLHs" width="640" height="480" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen loading="lazy" ></iframe>

p3d.in supports discovery of the oEmbed URL. Each page that has a 3D model will have a link tag containing the URL for the JSON oEmbed response.

Adding embed support to a forum

If you would like your forum to natively support p3d.in please speak with the forum admins about adding the [p3d] BBCode. We propose the following format for consistency:

[p3d]9GLHs[/p3d]

Or with some custom options:

[p3d]9GLHs+wire+spin[/p3d]

We have prepared easy instructions for setting up the [p3d] bbcode in about 5 minutes!

  • Adding [p3d] on VBulletin forums.
  • Adding [p3d] on phpBB forums.
  • Adding [p3d] on IP.Board forums.
  • Adding [media=p3d] on xenForo forums.
