embedvssoup
PHP library to get information from any web page (using oembed, opengraph, twitter-cards, scrapping the html, etc). It's compatible with any web service (youtube, vimeo, flickr, instagram, etc) and has adapters to some sites like (archive.org, github, facebook, etc).
soup is a Go library for parsing and querying HTML documents.
It provides a simple and intuitive interface for extracting information from HTML pages. It's inspired by popular Python web scraping
library BeautifulSoup and shares similar use API implementing functions like Find
and FindAll
.
soup
can also use go's built-in http client to download HTML content.
Note that unlike beautifulsoup, soup
does not support CSS selectors or XPath.
Example Use

$info->code->html; //The code to embed the image, video, etc
$info->code->width; //The exact width of the embed code (if exists)
$info->code->height; //The exact height of the embed code (if exists)
$info->code->ratio; //The aspect ratio (width/height)
$info->authorName; //The resource author
$info->authorUrl; //The author url
$info->cms; //The cms used
$info->language; //The language of the page
$info->languages; //The alternative languages
$info->providerName; //The provider name of the page (Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, etc)
$info->providerUrl; //The provider url
