Embeddable Podcast Clips

Share podcast moments anywhere on the web. Audioscrape's embed widget lets you create shareable, playable clips from any transcribed podcast episode - perfect for blogs, articles, newsletters, and social media.

What's an Embed?

An embed is a small, self-contained audio player that can be placed on any website. It includes:

•
Audio playback - Play a specific clip from any episode, starting at a chosen timestamp
•
Live transcript - Teleprompter-style transcript that highlights as the audio plays
•
Episode info - Podcast name, episode title, and speaker attribution
•
Links back - Viewers can click to hear the full episode on Audioscrape

Creating an Embed

1. Find a moment

Search for a topic, browse episodes, or navigate directly to an episode page on Audioscrape.

2. Select a segment

Click on any transcript segment to start playback from that moment. The transcript highlights speaker turns.

3. Click Share

Click the share button next to any segment to open the share modal.

4. Copy the embed code

Select the "Embed" tab and copy the HTML code. Paste it into your website, blog, or CMS.

Embed Code

The embed code is a simple iframe that you can paste anywhere HTML is supported:

<iframe
  src="https://www.audioscrape.com/embed/episode/[ID]/segment/[TIME]"
  width="100%"
  height="400"
  frameborder="0"
  allow="autoplay"
></iframe>

The embed is responsive and works on all devices. Height can be adjusted (recommended: 350-450px).

Embed Parameters

Customize your embed with URL parameters:

duration

Length of the clip in seconds (default: 60)

/embed/episode/123/segment/500?duration=90

autoplay

Start playing automatically (default: false, requires user gesture on most browsers)

/embed/episode/123/segment/500?autoplay=true
