## Project moved to [MetaInfo](https://github.com/LouisT/MetaInfo "Title") VidInfo (v0.2.13) ====== Install: npm install [vidinfo](https://npmjs.org/package/vidinfo "Title") This project is [Unlicensed](http://unlicense.org/ "Title"). In other words, I don't care what you do with it. However, if you make something interesting, I would like to check it out. [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/LouisT/VidInfo.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/LouisT/VidInfo) Current APIs supported: ------ Supported Formats: JSON, CSV, INI -- XML via [xml2json](https://npmjs.org/package/xml2json "Title").

See "bambuser" example at the bottom. 2) This method is BETA. 3) More information available. See "More Information" below. 4) Requires basic auth (username:password). See "wista" example at the bottom. 5) Located in "./apis/obsolete/" due to API changes, removals, or extended down time. Just because it's located in obsolete does not mean a replacement hasn't been created. oEmbed APIs: ------ For more information on oEmbed visit [oEmbed.com](http://oembed.com/ "Title").

(https://noembed.com/) 2) Uses a 3rd party oEmbed API. (https://embed.ly/) Requires API key, otherwise you have limited requests. I will add more (most common) oEmbed APIs from [embed.ly](http://embed.ly/ "Title") eventually. [Embed.ly](http://embed.ly/ "Title") API: ------ WARNING: Do NOT enable embedly (./apis/embedly.js) with any other APIs! Embedly is a HUGE oEmbed provider and as such supports some of the APIs already in use. Because of this there are conflicts. To generate the embedly.js file, see functions below. After you run the embedly generator, a new file will be created at: ./apis/embedly.js Embedly is too massive to display what websites it supports, so you'll have to read embedly.js yourself or check the embed.ly providers list here: http://embed.ly/embed/features/providers Services URL: http://api.embed.ly/1/services API key required, signup here: https://app.embed.ly/signup/ Experimental APIs: ------ [metacafe.com](http://metacafe.com/ "Title") [movieclips.com](http://movieclips.com/ "Title") [muzu.tv (1)](http://www.muzu.tv/api/ "Title") [traileraddict.com](http://www.traileraddict.com/ "Title") 1) API key required. See "bambuser" example at the bottom. NOTE: These now require xml2json. (https://npmjs.org/package/xml2json) More Information: ------ (imdb.com) IMDB does not have an API so use of a 3rd party API is required. Please see http://www.omdbapi.com/ for more information. (facebook.com) Facebook requires an access token to be generated. The generator makes an access token that lasts for 60 days. You can revisit the generator to find out when your token will expire. I will look for a better method later on, but for now this is how it has to be. Generator: http://louist.github.io/VidInfo/accessToken.html (trakt.tv) This API is massive and can return a lot of information. I need to rewrite parts of VidInfo to support this. For now, extended summary for Movies and TV shows are supported. (TODO #6) TODO: ------ - [ ] Find more API's to use. -- Please suggest some. (This should never be finished!) - [ ] Create tests. (Started, need to figure out async with assert. "npm test") - [ ] Improve basic auth and API key support. - [ ] Make a better facebook access token generator. (http://louist.github.io/VidInfo/accessToken.html) - [ ] Add support for more API features besides summaries. NOTE: I might just make multiple API files because this could be complicated... -- I've done this already for places like ustream.tv and and justin.tv -- We'll see what happens! - [x] Document things better... This README is a mess! (Did I do this?) Options: ------ apikey - The API key, when needed. basicauth - Your basic auth `username:password`, when needed. formatter - The formatter to use on your JSON data. See ./examples/youtubecom.js (detectAll options) nocheck - Return information on a video more than once if found multiple times. See ./examples/detectAll.js keys - An object with API keys. Example: {keys:{bambuser:'EXAMPLE-KEY',themoviedb:'ANOTHER-KEY'},nocheck:true} Settings: ------ format - Use the formatter, true or false. enabled - Path to enabled API configs. -- Default: ./apis/enabled/ disabled - Path to disabled API configs. -- Default: ./apis/disabled/ Settings usage: ------ var VidInfo = require('vidinfo')({format:true}); Shortcuts: ------ Archive.org: arch, archive, archiveorg Animoto.com: ani, animoto, animotocom Anyclip.com: aclip, anyclip, anyclipcom Bambuser.com: bam, bambuser, bambusercom Blip.tv: blip, bliptv Collegehumor.com*: chumor, college, collegehumor, collegehumorcom Comedycentral.com: comcen, comedycentral, comedycentralcom Coub.com: coub, coubcom Crackle.com: crackle, cracklecom Dailymotion.com: dmo, dailymo, dailymotion, dailymotioncom Dotsub.com: dotsub, dotsubcom Facebook.com: fbook, fbvideo, facebook, facebookcom Flickr.com: flickr, flickrcom Funnyordie.com: ford, funnyor, funnyordie, funnyordiecom GiantBomb.com: gbomb, giantbomb, giantbombcom Hulu.com: hulu, hulucom IMDB.com: imdb, imdbcom Jest.com: jest, jestcom Justin.tv (stream): jtvs, jstream, justintvstream Justin.tv (video clip): jtvc, jclip, justintvclip Liveleak.com: lleak, liveleak, liveleakcom Mag.ma: mag, magma Mefeedia.com: mefee, mefeedia, mefeediacom Metacafe.com*: meta, mcafe, metacafe, metacafecom MixBit.com: mix, mixbit, mixbitcom Movieclips.com*: mclips, movieclips, movieclipscom Muzu.tv*: muzu, muzutv Nfb.ca: nfb, nfbca on.aol.com: onaol, onaolcom Qik.com: qik, qikcom Revision3.com: revis, revision3, revision3com Screenr.com: scrn, screenr, screenercom Snotr.com: snotr, snotrcom Socialcam.com: scam, socialcam, socialcamcom Ted.com: ted, tedcom Themoviedb.org: tdb, tmdb, themoviedborg Theonion.com: onion, theonion, theonioncom Traileraddict.com*: tadd, taddict, traileraddict, traileraddictcom Trailers.apple.com: tapple, trailersapple, trailersapplecom Trakt.tv (show/movie): trakt, trakttv Twitch.tv (stream): ttvs, tstream, twitchtvstream Twitch.tv (video clip): ttvc, tclip, twitchtvclip Ustream.tv (stream): utvs, ustream, ustreamtvstream Ustream.tv (video clip): utvc, uclip, ustreamtvclip Viddler.com: vidd, viddler, viddlercom Videojug.com: vjug, videojug, videojugcom Videolog.tv: vlog, videolog, videologtv Vimeo.com: vimeo, vimeocom Vine.co: vine, vineco Vzaar.com: vzaar, vzaarcom Webcams.travel: wct, webtra, wtravel, webcamstravel Wistia.com: wistia, wistacom Yahoo.com: yahoo, yvideo, yahoocom YouTube.com: yt, youtube, youtubecom * See "Experimental APIs" above.
