VideoInfo

Gem Version Build Status Dependency Status Code Climate Coverage Status Reviewed by Hound

Simple Ruby Gem to get video info from Dailymotion, VK, Vimeo, Wistia and YouTube (with playlist).

Tested against Ruby 2.3.0, 2.2.4, and the latest versions of JRuby & Rubinius.

Features

  • Simple, single-function API that returns a simple data structure
  • Has a mere three gem dependencies
  • Automatic fallback to scrapers when required API keys aren't provided
  • Fetches metadata on the video, including title, duration, upload date, description, keywords, thumbnail, and dimensions
  • Fetches metadata on the author, including name, thumbnail, and channel/profile URL

Install

gem install video_info

Usage

Note for YouTube and Vimeo usage!

Youtube and Vimeo have recently updated their APIs to require API keys.

Scrapers has been implemented for both Youtube and Vimeo. However, the Youtube scraper can only get the date the video was posted, while the API is able to get the date and the exact time the video was posted. You may also wish to use the API to protect against potential HTML changes that could break the scrapers.

To get a Youtube API key, follow the instructions here

To get a Vimeo API key, follow the instructions here

To set the API keys, do the following:

VideoInfo.provider_api_keys = { youtube: 'YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY', vimeo: 'YOUR_VIMEO_API_KEY' }
video = VideoInfo.new('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7lni3')

Options

video = VideoInfo.new('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZqGqE0D0n4', 'User-Agent' => 'My YouTube Mashup Robot/1.0')
video = VideoInfo.new('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZqGqE0D0n4', 'Referer'    => 'http://my-youtube-mashup.com/')
video = VideoInfo.new('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZqGqE0D0n4', 'Referer'    => 'http://my-youtube-mashup.com/',
                                                                    'User-Agent' => 'My YouTube Mashup Robot/1.0')

You can also use symbols instead of strings (any non-word (/[^a-z]/i) character would be converted to hyphen).

video = VideoInfo.new('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZqGqE0D0n4', referer: 'http://my-youtube-mashup.com/',
                                                                    user_agent: 'My YouTube Mashup Robot/1.0')

User-Agent when empty defaults to "VideoInfo/VERSION" - where version is current VideoInfo version, e.g. "VideoInfo/0.2.7".

It supports all openURI header fields (options), for more information see: openURI DOCS

You can also include an iframe_attributes or url_attributes hash to the embed_code method to include arbitrary attributes in the iframe embed code or as additional URL params:

VideoInfo.new('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZqGqE0D0n4').embed_code(iframe_attributes: { width: 800, height: 600, 'data-key' => 'value' })
=> '<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/mZqGqE0D0n4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" width="800" height="600" data-key="value"></iframe>'

VideoInfo.new('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZqGqE0D0n4').embed_code(url_attributes: { autoplay: 1 })
=> '<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/mZqGqE0D0n4?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>'

If you would like to disable certain providers, you can do so by modifying the class variable disable_providers:

VideoInfo.disable_providers = %w[YouTube] # disable YouTube
VideoInfo.disable_providers = %w[Vimeo YouTube] # disable Vimeo and Youtube
VideoInfo.disable_providers = [] # enable all providers

Note: disable_providers is case-insensitive. Attempting to use a disabled provider will raise a UrlError, just like attempting to use a non-video URL.
