OEmbed

oEmbed consumer library for Elixir applications.

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.

-- See oembed.com for more info about the protocol.

This library supports any discoverable oEmbed endpoint and some other services via custom adapters. Among them:

• YouTube
• Instagram
• Pinterest
• Vimeo

Installation

Add oembed to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:oembed, "~> 0.4.1"}]
end

Usage

{:ok, result} = OEmbed.for("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ")

Custom providers

You can implement modules that support provider behaviour and add them to the provider list from your app config

config :oembed, :providers, [MyApp.OEmbed.SomeProvider, MyApp.OEmbed.SomeOtherProvider]
