Embeds

Embeddable Podcast Clips

Share podcast moments anywhere on the web. Audioscrape's embed widget turns any transcribed episode into a shareable, playable clip — for blogs, articles, newsletters, and social media.

What it is

What's an Embed?

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.
Workflow

Creating an Embed

Four clicks, no code beyond a paste:

  1. 1. Find a moment

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

  2. 2. Select a segment

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

  3. 3. Click Share

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

  4. 4. Copy the embed code

    On the "Embed" tab (signed in), pick a theme and size, copy the HTML code, and paste it into your website, blog, or CMS.

The snippet

Embed Code

The embed code is an iframe you can paste anywhere HTML is supported. Copy it from the Share button as it is: the link is signed for you, and a hand-built or edited link does not play. 

<iframe
  src="https://www.audioscrape.com/embed/episode/[ID]/segment/[TIME]?d=60&u=[YOU]&sig=[SIGNATURE]&theme=auto"
  title="Audioscrape audio clip"
  width="100%"
  height="230"
  frameborder="0"
  allow="autoplay"
  loading="lazy"
></iframe>

The embed fills its width on any device and its height exactly: 230px (Compact) or 320px (Tall, about twice the transcript).

Customize

Embed Options

Chosen on the Embed tab before you copy:

Option What it does In the code
Theme Auto follows each visitor's light or dark setting; Light and Dark are fixed. You may change it in a pasted code without making a new one. theme=auto | light | dark
Size Compact shows about three lines of transcript, Tall about twice as many height="230" | "320"
Clip Up to 60 seconds from the moment you shared signed; not editable
Where it fits

Technical Details

  • Responsive design — embeds adapt to any container width.
  • No login for viewers — anyone can play an embed; making one needs an account.
  • Signed links — every embed code carries a signature; a hand-built or edited link shows "Signature Required" instead of the clip.
  • Efficient loading — the player loads when it scrolls near view, the audio only when the user clicks play.
  • Cross-origin safe — works on any domain via sandboxed iframe.
