You will need at least PHP version 5.3 with curl enabled. Behat and PHPUnit are required to run the test suite. Pear is recommended.

Installing

To install:

1. Download the composer.phar executable or use the installer.

curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

2. Create a composer.json defining your dependencies. Note that this example is a short version for applications that are not meant to be published as a packages themselves.

{
  "require": [
    "embedly/embedly-php"
  ]
}

Run Composer: php composer.phar install

Examples

<?php
require_once('Embedly/src/Embedly/Embedly.php');  // if using pear
// require_once('src/Embedly/Embedly.php');  // if using source

$api = new Embedly\Embedly(array('user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; mytestapp/1.0)'));

// Single url
$objs = $api->oembed('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPbJ4Z5D-n4&feature=topvideos');
print_r($objs);

// Multiple urls
$obj = $api->oembed(array(
    'urls' => array(
        'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPbJ4Z5D-n4&feature=topvideos',
        'http://twitpic.com/3yr7hk'
    )
));
print_r($obj);

// Call with pro (you'll need a real key)
$pro = new Embedly\Embedly(array(
    'key' => 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
    'user_agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; mytestapp/1.0)'
));
$objs = $pro->extract(array(
    'urls' => array(
        'http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011/jan/21/andy-coulson-phone-hacking-statement',

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
