Flickr Link Preview - Greasemonkey ScriptIn order to view this Flickr video, you'll need to install the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player. In my research into this goal, I discovered two reasons why my goal is unattainable using pure javascript:
1) Due to very reasonable security restrictions on AJAX calls, a script running on any page not hosted at flickr.com cannot communicate with Flickr via an XMLHttpRequest. 2) Even if I could get around #1, I would have to include my personal Flickr API key and secret in plain text in the javascript file. This is not only a bad idea, but against Flickr's Terms of Service. The result is that the script must use a cross-site scripting technique to send information to a PHP program running on a server I host, which sends the request to Flickr and returns the remaining part of the script that knows what to do with the information from Flickr.
