Bento Embedly Card
Provides responsive and shareable embeds using Embedly cards
Cards are the easiest way to leverage Embedly. For any media, cards provide a responsive embed with built-in embed analytics.
If you have a paid plan, use the <bento-embedly-key>
or <BentoEmbedlyContext.Provider>
component to set your API key. You just need one Bento Embedly key per page to remove Embedly's branding from the cards. Within your page, you can include one or multiple Bento Embedly Card instances.
Web Component
You must include each Bento component's required CSS library to guarantee proper loading and before adding custom styles. Or use the light-weight pre-upgrade styles available inline. See Layout and style.
Import via npm

Layout and style
Each Bento component has a small CSS library you must include to guarantee proper loading without content shifts. Because of order-based specificity, you must manually ensure that stylesheets are included before any custom styles.
<link
rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css"
href="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/bento-embedly-card-1.0.css"
/>
Alternatively, you may also make the light-weight pre-upgrade styles available inline:
<style>
bento-embedly-card {
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
}
</style>
Container type
The bento-embedly-card
component has a defined layout size type. To ensure the component renders correctly, be sure to apply a size to the component and its immediate children (slides) via a desired CSS layout (such as one defined with height
, width
, aspect-ratio
, or other such properties):
bento-embedly-card {
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}
