Instagram oEmbed

This isn’t hard, so it’s just a nice example of how to handle instagram.

wp_oembed_add_provider('#http://(www\.)?instagram\.com/.*#i', 'http://api.instagram.com/oembed?url=', true);

Per usual, I have a file called oembeds.php in my mu-plugins folder, where I toss all these. This will work with and without www in the URL. I will warn you, Instagram’s embed is ugly! Here’s http://instagram.com/p/QU1OfbHBTe/

See? No formatting, nothing to tell you it’s bloody Instagram.

Meanwhile, here’s the tweet it came from:

Much nicer, eh? Of course, Instagram is weird, in that they don’t let you browse images.
