Getting Started

For some providers, credentials configurations are mandatory. To start using the embed-url module with Flickr, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Youtube Urls, don't forget to update the credentials concerned in the "provider-config/credentialsConfig.js" file.

How to get the credentials:

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/developer/
Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/services/api/misc.api_keys.html
Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/docs/en/api/v2
Twitter: https://apps.twitter.com/
Youtube: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started

This module utilizes ES6 Promises to handle the API calls.

Usage

const embedurl = require('embed-url');

To extract datas from a single url use the following...

embedurl.url(URL_TO_EXTRACT)
    .then(result => {
    	// do stuff
    	console.log("Embed url", result)
    })
    .catch(error => {
    	// errors will bubble up through the reject method of the promise.
        // you'll want to console.log them otherwise it'll fail silently
        console.log("Error", error)
    })

The result returned in from the promise will be a Result object.

Returned Data

The API returns an object. Below is an example

{ mediaId: '1552321983961937074_25998477',
