NoEmbed Gem

A lightweight Ruby wrapper for the NoEmbed API. Quickly fetch rich embed data for URLs with a simple method call. Noembed little bit outdated, and lot's of endpoints already not supported. This gem was created for getting YouTube embeds, which works fine.

• Fetch embed data for any URL supported by NoEmbed (some of them outdated and doesn't work).
• Pass optional parameters like maxwidth and maxheight for responsive embeds.
• Simple error handling for invalid or unsupported URLs.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'no_embed'

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it manually:

gem install no_embed

Fetch embed data for a URL:

require 'no_embed'

url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ'
embed_data = NoEmbed.get_embed_for_url(url)

puts embed_data['title'] # => "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up"

Pass optional parameters like maxwidth to resize the embed content:

embed_data = NoEmbed.get_embed_for_url(url, maxwidth: 300)
puts embed_data['html']

Handle cases where the API returns an error:

begin
  embed_data = NoEmbed.get_embed_for_url('https://invalid.url')
rescue StandardError => e
  puts "Error: #{e.message}"
end

The get_embed_for_url method supports the following parameters:

The method returns a Ruby Hash containing the following fields (if available):

• title: Title of the embed content.
• author_name: Author of the content.
• provider_name: Name of the embed provider.
• html: HTML embed code (iframe or other rich content).
• width, height: Dimensions of the embed.

For a full list of fields, refer to the NoEmbed API Documentation.
