I wanted to create a news section in the app where users could just add a link and the other fields would be populated automatically using oEmbed, any idea? Thanks

What “other fields” do you want to have? There might be some APIs out there that can support this.

In typical oEmbed style I would like to receive as a minimum headline, image, details. It would be cool if that is a computed column 🙂

I would suggest this API.

I used it before in a project, basically sending a new row’s link to Make, use a HTTP call to fetch the details I need, and write them back.

However, I haven’t tried fetching it directly from Glide. That might be a better solution.
