Support for clipmine oembed

[manaspaldhe12]

clip.mn is a website that generates tags for videos - automatically and thorough crowd sourcing. This thus creates a better experience for viewers. Y Combinator and 500 startups among others are embedding their videos through ClipMine.
Hence adding ClipMine oembed support

Hi @manaspaldhe12, welcome to Trac!

If you could please take a look at the document on ​whitelisting oEmbed providers and attempt to provide answers for all of the questions, it would help us get a much better idea of whether this would be a good fit for inclusion in core.

Thank you @DrewAPicture.
I will upload the patch and also answer all the listed questions soon.

-Is the service is popular enough for core developers to have heard of it before? Is it “mainstream?”
-Yes. ClipMine has publicly launched in July: ​http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/07/clipmine-launch/. We get regular requests for integrations and have reach in the range of hundreds of thousands weekly impressions and views, through social media and partner/client websites. Established web destinations like startup incubators, conferences and university websites are using and embedding ClipMine solutions.

-If similar services are already supported, how does this service compare in terms of size, features, and backing?
-There are no similar services. ClipMine offers an extensive set of features, enabling users to annotate videos and create a searchable interactive table of contents for videos. We enable users to embed single video and video playlists, which are hosted on YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion.

-Does this service have a large following on Twitter, Facebook, or other social media? Is its Twitter account verified?
-We are in the process of getting Twitter account verified and have only started social media outreach, as we publicly launched in July. Our service is not targeting general population - we are a solution for video content owners, website owners and embedders.

-Is its oEmbed endpoint clearly established and properly documented? (Sometimes, they are just a developer’s pet project that may not be supported.)
-Yes, the oEmbed endpoint is clearly established and documented.

-Does the service make an effort to build relationships with developers, such as through robust APIs?
-Yes. We have robust APIs and provide access to interested parties (individual developers and media providers)

-How old is the service?
-ClipMine is just over 2 years old.

-Does it have a well-established Wikipedia article? (Seriously.)
-No.

-Has anyone written a WordPress plugin that leverages the service in some way, whether adding it as an oEmbed provider, creating a shortcode, or leveraging other APIs of the service? Do these plugins have any noticeable adoption or traction that would indicate usage and demand?
-No.

-Is the provider frequently proposed?
-We receive frequent requests from customers to provide oEmbed support.

Thanks for the ticket, manaspaldhe12, and thank you for providing those details. It's much appreciated.

As you'll have read on the ​whitelisting oEmbed providers page, it's important to WordPress that our oEmbed providers are well established and trustworthy, because they gain the ability to embed any rich oEmbed data on a site.

As ClipMine is a brand new service, we won't be implementing oEmbed support for it at this time. Your best course of action is to build a WordPress plugin that provides oEmbed functionality for ClipMine (see ​wp_oembed_add_provider()) and promote that to your users. I'd also speak to WordPress.com about getting oEmbed support added there, as they have a different oEmbed policy to core.
