Ceros Oembed API

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Ceros Oembed API
  version: '1.0'
  description: Public, unauthenticated oEmbed 1.0 provider endpoint for Ceros experiences. Given the canonical URL of a published Ceros experience it returns an oEmbed `rich` response containing the title, canonical URL, embed HTML (a responsive iframe plus the Ceros scroll-proxy script), and the experience's natural width/height. This is the endpoint the first-party Ceros Contentful App calls to resolve a pasted experience URL into an embed.
