How to test oEmbed discovery

Tags:

oembed

I know that you can use embed.ly to test your oEmbed provider service, but do you know any other services where you can test oEmbed discovery?

I want to make sure that oEmbed-enabled consumers can correctly tap into my oEmbed provider, but I couldn't find a way to do so.

Any help or advice is appreciated.
