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).

extruct is a library for extracting embedded metadata from HTML markup.

Currently, extruct supports:

  • W3C's HTML Microdata
  • embedded JSON-LD
  • Microformat via mf2py
  • Facebook's Open Graph
  • (experimental) RDFa via rdflib
  • Dublin Core Metadata (DC-HTML-2003)

all_data = extruct.extract(response.text, response.url)

# or we can extract specific metadata format by importing individuals extractors:

microdata = extractor.extract(response.text)

extractor = extruct.JsonLdExtractor()
jsonld = extractor.extract(response.text)
