Comment (by timmydcrawford):

 > Once this is implemented, the use of the embed endpoint can potentially
 replace the parse-embed request, at least when there is no post_ID for
 context.

 @westonruter do we have an idea of what might be needed to make this new
 endpoint work in the context of a particular post?  It appears the current
 logic in the associated admin-ajax function is to verify the user has
 access to edit the given post : https://github.com/xwp/wordpress-
 develop/blob/master/src/wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php#L2945-L2951

 Would it be worth exploring supporting a {{{post_ID}}} option for the
 endpoint too?  I think it would be great to ship this new endpoint with
 all the needed features to replace {{{parse_embed}}} usage from the get-
 go.
