Embed and oEmbed

Put a Slidesfly reader inside another document

Eligible reader pages support a chromeless embed mode. Public reader metadata also advertises an oEmbed discovery URL.

Last tested: July 28, 2026

Reference

Iframe embed

Add ?embed=1 to an eligible reader URL. The reader removes its outer chrome and relaxes its own framing policy for the embed request.

<iframe
  src="https://slidesfly.xyz/d/YOUR_DECK_ID?embed=1"
  title="Quarterly review"
  width="960"
  height="540"
  loading="lazy"
  allow="fullscreen"
></iframe>

oEmbed discovery

Public reader metadata exposes an application/json+oembed discovery link. A consumer can also call the app-domain endpoint directly:

GET https://slidesfly.com/api/oembed?url=https%3A%2F%2Fslidesfly.xyz%2Fd%2FYOUR_DECK_ID&format=json&maxwidth=960&maxheight=540

The endpoint returns JSON and the rich response type. Optional maxwidth and maxheight bounds scale the 16:9 iframe down without upscaling it. Slidesfly does not support XML; an explicitly unsupported format returns 501.

Access behavior

Deck stateEmbed behavior
PublicReader embedding and oEmbed discovery are available while the deck remains current and allowed by policy.
UnlistedA direct reader embed can render, but metadata does not advertise oEmbed and the oEmbed endpoint returns 401.
Password / private / allowlistViewer authorization is still required; the embed flag does not bypass access.
Expired, deleted, historical, or quarantinedThe stable reader path does not expose unavailable content.

Security boundary

Read the security architecture before embedding untrusted or third-party HTML content.
