python-oembed

Python-oembed is a Python library that offers a pure Python OEmbed consumer to obtain resources from OEmbed providers. OEmbed is a format that enables embedding of URL representation on third-party sites. This means that a website can display embedded content, such as photos or videos, without parsing the resource directly. The format was authored by Cal Henderson, Mike Malone, Leah Culver, and Richard Crowley.

Using python-oembed is straightforward. First, import the library and create a consumer instance. Then, add the provider endpoint to the consumer by using the URL of the endpoint published by the provider and its corresponding URL schema. To retrieve the provider response for a URL, use the `consumer.embed()` method passing the URL parameter.

Additionally, python-oembed offers the ability to print response results where each field can be read as a Python dict. In order to do this, import the `pprint` library and pass the `response.getData()` parameter for pretty-printing.

Overall, python-oembed is a simple yet powerful tool for anyone who needs to obtain resources from OEmbed providers. To learn more about the library and its capabilities, read the full documentation by running `pydoc oembed` on the command line.
