Welcome to Vidscraper’s documentation!
Vidscraper is a clean, simple library for a couple of rather messy
issues:
- Retrieving the source video from a “flash-only” website
- Finding out contextual data about a pasted url: title/description/etc
Vidscraper provides a unified api for an issue that requires a lot of
one-off scraping.
Requirements
- json (python2.6) or simplejson
- BeautifulSoup 3.0.8 or 3.2
- feedparser
Optional
- oauth2 (for some APIs *cough* Vimeo searching *cough* which require authentication)
- nose (for tests)
