   (
   also the updated vesion) but I still see in cosole that: {“code”:”oembed_invalid_url”,”
   message”:”Not Found”,”data”:{“status”:404}} Request created was: [http://localhost:8000/wp-json/oembed/1.0/proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.com%2Fvideo%2F6138095413001%2F&_locale=user](http://localhost:8000/wp-json/oembed/1.0/proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.forbes.com%2Fvideo%2F6138095413001%2F&_locale=user)

 * Did you check if Forbes does have support for their content to be embedded on-
   the-fly inside other websites?
    As far as I could tell, you’d need to first agree
   on a license with them if you’re going to reuse any of their content outside 
   of their own website.

 * Hi
    Not sure thats the case, as direct link to embed link works nicely: [http://players.brightcove.net/2097119709001/598f142b-5fda-4057-8ece-b03c43222b3f_default/index.html?videoId=6139157952001](http://players.brightcove.net/2097119709001/598f142b-5fda-4057-8ece-b03c43222b3f_default/index.html?videoId=6139157952001).
   They even provide the embed code on their website.
 * I tested with some other websites, and ended up with the same error message.

 * A functioning embed link does not mean the server is a valid oEmbed provider.
   I’m not saying the target is not, only that an embed link is not evidence of 
   it. Typically oEmbed providers include a `<link>` meta tag for discovery with
   an attribute `type="application/json+oembed"` or `type="application/xml+oembed"`
   where the tag’s href attribute is the page’s oEmbed endpoint. The oEmbed spec
   does not require discovery, but then it could require some digging to learn the
   right endpoint.
