VideoURLParser

Parse out information from a web video URL. Want information about a YouTube or Facebook video?

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'video_url_parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install video_url_parser

VideoURLParser.parse('http://youtube.com/watch?v=5Qg6G7I4RS4#t=2m32s
# => { id: '5Qg6G7I4RS4', provider: :youtube }

VideoURLParser.parse('https://www.facebook.com/McLaren.Racing/videos/vb.12254981412/10153309389781413')
# => { id: '10153309389781413', provider: :facebook }

VideoURLParser.parse('https://example.com')
# => nil

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

If you have a false negative, I would love to hear it. If you would like support for other video providers, please ask as well.
