Create a oEmbed of a reading list

Step 1: Go to https://buku.app

Visit https://buku.app in your browser and login with your BUKU account.

Step 2: Go to the reading list you want to embed

Once logged in, click on the 'Reading Lists' option located at the top of the page.

• If you already have a reading list, click on the title of the list you want to embed, then select 'Show Reading List'.
• If you haven't created a reading list yet, click 'Create new reading list' and follow the prompts to add books to your list.

Once you have selected 'Show Reading List', ensure the reading list is publicly accessible. Click the 'share reading list' button. In the sharing settings, switch the privacy option to 'Public'.

Step 3: Copy the URL

After making the list public, you’ll see an URL. Copy this link for use in Moodle. This URL will serve as the OEmbed link for integrating the book into Moodle. The format should look similar to this: https://buku.app/profile/{username}/readinglists/{readinglist_id}, where {username} is the unique identifier for the specific user and where {readinglist_id} is a unique identifier for the specific reading list.

Click on the copy button or highlight the entire URL and copy it to your clipboard (you can typically do this by right-clicking and selecting Copy or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C on Windows or Command+C on Mac). Ensure the URL is complete and accurate, as this link will directly embed the chosen book within Moodle for easy access by users.

Step 4: Add the link to a text and media area in Moodle

Now that you have the reading list URL copied, navigate to the Moodle course where you want to embed the reading list.

1. In the course, add a Text and media area where you’d like the book to appear.
2. Paste the BUKU URL directly into the text area (using Ctrl+V or Command+V to paste).
3. Click Save and return to course to confirm.

Moodle will automatically recognize the BUKU link and display the book using the OEmbed format, allowing students to interact with the content directly within the course.
