html-embed API

Once you've created a new WidgetBot element, the html-embed script adds the API methods onto the Elements prototype.

You can access them by simply querying the <widgetbot> element, example:

<widgetbot server="299881420891881473" id="embed"></widgetbot>
...
<script>
const embed = document.getElementById('embed')
// embed.emit()
</script>
