This library provides a pure python OEmbed consumer to get resources from OEmbed providers.
Based on reference from http://oembed.com/
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.

pip install python-oembed
To create an instance of the oEmbed consumer:
>>> import oembed
>>> consumer = oembed.OEmbedConsumer()
To add a provider endpoint to this consumer:
- The first parameter is the URL of the endpoint published by the provider.
- The second parameter is the URL schema to use with this endpoint.
For example:
>>> endpoint = oembed.OEmbedEndpoint('http://www.flickr.com/services/oembed', ['http://*.flickr.com/*'])
>>> consumer.addEndpoint(endpoint)
To get the provider response for a URL:
>>> response = consumer.embed('http://www.flickr.com/photos/wizardbt/2584979382/')
To print the response results (each field can be read as a python dict, None if empty):
>>> import pprint
>>> pprint.pprint(response.getData())
>>> print response['url']
To read the full documentation:
$ pydoc oembed
cd python-oembed
python oembed_test.py
