As Jay pointed out you should look at the source code.

‘Onebox’ is the library that, in part, converts some URLs into embeds.

Have you looked at?:

I think the original intention was that this code be also used on non-Discourse sites.

To that end there’s a (now unmaintained) gem that you might be able to leverage (assuming your site is RoR), maybe you’d be interested in maintaining it?

A word of caution: the code on Discourse will have positively evolved since.
