First, you need to install OEmbed. It is available at http://github.com/worldcompany/djangoembed/
git clone git://github.com/worldcompany/djangoembed/
cd djangoembed
python setup.py installAfter installing, adding OEmbed consumption to your projects is a snap. First, add it to your projects' INSTALLED_APPs and run 'syncdb':
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'oembed'
]djangoembed uses a registration pattern like the admin's. In order to be sure all apps have been loaded, djangoembed should run autodiscover() in the urls.py. If you like, you can place this code right below your admin.autodiscover() bits:
# urls.py
import oembed
oembed.autodiscover()Now you're ready to start consuming OEmbed-able objects. There are a couple of options depending on what you want to do. The most straightforward way to get up-and-running is to add it to your templates:
{% load oembed_tags %}
{% oembed %}blog.content{% endoembed %}
{# or use the filter #}
{{ blog.content|oembed }}
{# maybe you're working with some dimensional constraints #}
{% oembed "600x600" %}blog.content{% endoembed %}
{{ blog.content|oembed:"600x600" }}You can consume oembed objects in python as well:
import oembed
oembed.autodiscover()
# just get the metadata
resource = oembed.site.embed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nda_OSWeyn8')
resource.get_data()

# get the metadata and run it through a template for pretty presentation
from oembed.consumer import OEmbedConsumer
client = OEmbedConsumer()
embedded = client.parse_text("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nda_OSWeyn8")
