Embedly Lambda Proxy

This is not meant to be a production service, just an example of using Amazon Lambda to create a proxy to Embedly's API.

Install

This uses serverless to deploy code to lambda

npm install -g serverless
npm install

Serverless needs AWS Creds to deploy, so add them to your .bash_profile

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=YOUR_KEY
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=YOUR_SECRET

Finally you'll need to edit embedly.js and add your API_KEY.

Deploy

Just run serverless deploy. Severless should output the following:

Serverless: Packaging service...
...
endpoints:
  GET - https://{id}.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/oembed
  GET - https://{id}.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/extract
functions:
  oembed: aws-nodejs-dev-oembed
  extract: aws-nodejs-dev-extract

You can now use these endpoints

window.fetch('https://{id}.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/dev/oembed?url=http://embed.ly')
  .then((r)=> r.json())
  .then(console.log)

done.
