Install

Basic install directions:

git clone git@github.com:embedly/embedly-python
sudo python setup.py

Getting Started

Basic usage:

>>> from embedly import Embedly
>>> client = Embedly()
>>> obj = client.oembed('http://instagr.am/p/BL7ti/')
>>> obj.type
u'photo'
>>> obj['type']
u['photo']
>>> obj.url
u'http://distillery.s3.amazonaws.com/media/2011/01/24/cdd759a319184cb79793506607ff5746_7.jpg'

>>> obj = client.oembed('http://instagr.am/p/error')
>>> obj.error
True

Testing

The easiest way to run the test suite is with nose:

pip install nose
nosetests

If freshen is installed, you can also run the features. You'll need libyaml dev libs to install freshen successfully:

pip install freshen
nosetests --with-freshen

If there is some problem, it's easiest to debug by adding some options:

nosetests --with-freshen -v -s
