Hi, @kgodey, I would love to work on this but i need better understanding of exactly how you'd love the project to be tackled. For instance, where do I add the HTML code? Do I make a separate new file for it? I await your response.

Hi @madewithkode, this needs more definition before it's ready to be worked on. I suggest looking at one of the issues tagged "help wanted" instead: https://github.com/creativecommons/cccatalog-frontend/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22

@panchovm noting that in Q2 (or possibly Q3, if other priorities arise) we'll need to work on what this sort of embed should look like, before it can actually be built.

Perfect. It sounds like an exciting feature.

I'm inclined to think this would be it's own project that uses the search api. I'm not sure it would ultimately live in this repository but the issue can stay here for now.

I'm inclined to close this! I think search.openverse.engineering/search?embedded=true is the best we can offer.

Yeah, I agree on closing this. We offer:

• an API for applications who want to use Search in their apps
• an embedded mode that applications can use in an iframe
• a URL structure /search?q=... that anyone can hyperlink to

Any more than this would be its own project that is up to the end users. It's not feasible to provide HTML code that works for third-party sites. Frankly, that should be outside the scope of this project.
