Observable oEmbed

Observable provides a platform for creating interactive data visualizations through live JavaScript notebooks. Developers can embed notebooks, which can include dynamic data visualizations and data exploration tools, using uEmbed URL patterns that cater to specific notebooks and embedded content. Consumers such as WordPress, Slack, and other CMS or chat platforms can call its oEmbed endpoint to turn Observable URLs into rich embeds — without writing custom integration code. Below are the endpoint details, supported URL patterns, and response formats for Observable.
