embeddit's Introduction

Embeddit

A simple oembed meta fetcher which falls back to open graph info when oembed is not available.

Ask for oEmbed or Open Graph meta info about a url:

> oe = Embeddit('http://vimeo.com/33211636')

Get back a dictionary of that info:

> oe
{
    u'count': u'22906',
    u'description': u'During 3 years (2008-2011) i have been drawing 12 drawing of animation every day, it make one second of film. I had no plans what so ever before starting the first drawing. And then, each of the folowing days, I took the 3 last drawing from the day before...',

    u'type': u'article',
    u'url': u'http://vimeo.com/33211636',
    u'video': u'http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=33211636',
    u'video:height': u'360',
    u'video:type': u'application/x-shockwave-flash',
    u'video:width': u'640'
