Foursquare - supported or not?

Hello,

I've found that the OEmbed API responds to requests for Foursquare URLs--both foursquare.com and 4sq.com--but that the response from the Services API does not include Foursquare in its list (nor does the front page of api.embedly.com). What's the reason for this?

Thanks,

Jordan

Hi Jordan,

We are waiting for Foursquare to give us better rate-limiting. Services will definitely be your universal source for our supported services.

( We like your enthusiasm by the way, have you built anything cool with Embedly yet?)

Thanks for the info, Art.

I'm building an Embed.ly plugin for ThinkTank: http://expertlabs.org/thinktank.html By default ThinkTank expands URLs and gets thumbnails from TwitPic, Flickr, etc.; I'm hoping Embed.ly will let us take this functionality to the next level. Here's the code so far:

Very alpha and poorly-documented, but I'd love to get some feedback if you have some time.
