A Python library for oEmbed that supports auto-discovered and manually included providers.
$ pip install pyoembed
The library provides a function that should be called to automatically embed
the url content, and it is called oEmbed:
from pyoembed import oEmbed, PyOembedException
try:
# maxwidth and maxheight are optional.
data = oEmbed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PEdPBEpQfY',
maxwidth=640, maxheight=480)
except PyOembedException, e:
print 'An error was ocurred: %s' % e
# data is a dict with keys that will depends on the media type. You should
# choose how to display the content based on the data['type'] value and
# the oEmbed spec ( http://oembed.com/ ).
if data['type'] == 'video':
print data['html']
# and it goes... Someday we will provide default renderes for each media
# type.pyoembed tries to cover the major oEmbed providers, and should works for any provider that supports oEmbed auto-discover out-of-the box, however your favorite provider may be unsupported yet! :(
To add it, create a file inside the pyoembed.providers package, based on
the following example:
from pyoembed.providers import BaseProvider
class InstagramProvider(BaseProvider):
# priority of the provider. Increase it if the provider isn't well known
priority = 10
# url schemas that are supported by the provider.
# re.compile'd regex are allowed.
oembed_schemas = ['http://instagram.com/p/*',
'http://instagr.am/p/*']
# api endpoint that answers to oEmbed requests for the provider.
oembed_endpoint = 'http://api.instagram.com/oembed'You will also need to add some test urls of your provider to the
integration_test.py file, and run it to see if everything is ok.
If everything works, feel free to send a pull request to add the provider:

That's it!
