Providing a content item from an online system to a third party system that modifies the content item for presentation in accordance with a layout specified by the third party system

Abstract:

An online system provides content to a third party system and allows the third party system to customize the content for presentation in conjunction with other content provided by the third party system. The third party system includes instructions in content provided by the third party system that, when executed by a client device, obtains the content from the online system via a frame rendered within the content provided by the third party system. Using layout information included within the content provided by the third party system, the client device presents the content obtained from the online system in conjunction with the content provided by the third party system. Hence, the layout information allows the third party system to specify placement or formatting of the content obtained from the online system.
