Comment:

 When `photobucket.com/oembed?url=http://i123.photobucket.com[...]` is
 requested, it redirects to `api.photobucket.com` which in turn redirects
 to `api123.photobucket.com`.

 We could cut out one of the redirects by switching the oEmbed endpoint to
 `api.photobucket.com`, which it clearly should be anyway.

 Sending the main photo page's URL to the oEmbed endpoint results in a 404.
 You need to use the 'Direct' URL from the 'Share Links' section on the
 page. @pento / @jkudish Does the partnerships team at WP.com have a
 contact at Photobucket? It'd be good if these URLs were embeddable. I
 suspect that WP.com's implementation supports the main photo page URL.
