OEmbed consumer library for Python

Python-oembed
====

This library provides a pure python OEmbed consumer to get resources from OEmbed providers.

Based on reference from http://oembed.com/

oEmbed is a format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third party sites. The simple API allows a website to display embedded content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that resource, without having to parse the resource directly.

OEmbed format authors:

* Cal Henderson (cal at iamcal.com)
* Mike Malone (mjmalone at gmail.com)
* Leah Culver (leah.culver at gmail.com)
* Richard Crowley (r at rcrowley.org)

Install
------------

    pip install python-oembed

Use
------------

To create an instance of the oEmbed consumer:

    >>> import oembed
    >>> consumer = oembed.OEmbedConsumer()

To add a provider endpoint to this consumer: 

* The first parameter is the URL of the endpoint published by the provider.
* The second parameter is the URL schema to use with this endpoint.

For example:

    >>> endpoint = oembed.OEmbedEndpoint('http://www.flickr.com/services/oembed', ['http://*.flickr.com/*'])
    >>> consumer.addEndpoint(endpoint)

To get the provider response for a URL:

    >>> response = consumer.embed('http://www.flickr.com/photos/wizardbt/2584979382/')

To print the response results (each field can be read as a python dict, None if empty):

    >>> import pprint
    >>> pprint.pprint(response.getData())
    >>> print response['url']

To read the full documentation:

    $ pydoc oembed

Test
------------

    cd python-oembed
    python oembed_test.py
