LinkOracle
TODO: Write a gem description
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'link_oracle'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install link_oracle
Usage
To parse a link and extract information:
link_data = LinkOracle.extract_from('http://example.com')
This will return a LinkData object. This object makes a a semi-intelligent guess about which image, title, and description to use. To access these defaults:
title = link_data.title
image_url = link_data.image_url
description = link_data.description
The LinkData object also contains the parsed data:
parsed_data = link_data.parsed_data
Finally, the LinkData object contains the results from individual sections broken into OpenGraph, Meta, and Body. If you are only interested in OpenGraph results:
found_og_data = link_data.og
title = found_og_data.title
image_url = found_og_data.image
description = found_og_data.description
For Meta or body:
found_meta_data = link_data.meta
found_body_data = link_data.body
