WebService::Embedly is a very simple module for accessing metadata on embedded content through Embed.ly.
Module dependencies:
- Carp
- JSON
- LWP::UserAgent
- URI
- URI::Escape
Simple:
my $e = new WebService::Embedly(key => "api key goes here");
my $r = $e->oembed("http://vimeo.com/18150336");
print "Video title is: ", $r->[0]->{'title'}, "\n";
Multiple URLs are simple too!
$r = $e->oembed(["http://vimeo.com/18150336", "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"]);
Need to provide options?
$r = $e->oembed({ url => "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ",
maxwidth => 480 });
The return value is an array reference, with one array element for each URL passed in.
The oembed, preview, and objectify endpoints are supported.
To install this module, run the following commands:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

Written with one eye on the Embed.ly library for PHP.
