PHP Video URL Parser

Build Status Minimum PHP Version License Total Downloads Coding Standards Scrutinizer Code Quality Code Coverage

PHP Video URL Parser is a parser that detects a given video url and returns an object containing information like the video's embed code, title, description, thumbnail and other information that the service's API may give.

Installation

Install the latest version with

$ composer require ricardofiorani/php-video-url-parser

Requirements

  • PHP 5.3
  • cURL (Or at least file_get_contents() enabled if you want to use it with Vimeo, otherwise it's not required)

Basic Usage

<?php
use RicardoFiorani\Matcher\VideoServiceMatcher;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$vsm = new VideoServiceMatcher();

//Detects which service the url belongs to and returns the service's implementation
//of RicardoFiorani\Adapter\VideoAdapterInterface
$video = $vsm->parse('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkOcm_XaWrw');

//Checks if service provides embeddable videos (most services does)
if ($video->isEmbeddable()) {
    //Will echo the embed html element with the size 200x200
    echo $video->getEmbedCode(200, 200);

    //Returns the embed html element with the size 1920x1080 and autoplay enabled
    echo $video->getEmbedCode(1920, 1080, true);
    
    //Returns the embed html element with the size 1920x1080, autoplay enabled and force the URL schema to be https.
    echo $video->getEmbedCode(1920, 1080, true, true);
}

//If you don't want to check if service provides embeddable videos you can try/catch
try {
    echo $video->getEmbedUrl();
} catch (\RicardoFiorani\Exception\NotEmbeddableException $e) {
    die(sprintf("The URL %s service does not provide embeddable videos.", $video->getRawUrl()));
}

//Gets URL of the smallest thumbnail size available
echo $video->getSmallThumbnail();

//Gets URL of the largest thumbnail size available
//Note some services (such as Youtube) does not provide the largest thumbnail for some low quality videos (like the one used in this example)
echo $video->getLargestThumbnail();

Registering your own service video (it's easy !)

If you want to register an implementation of some service your class just needs to implement the "RicardoFiorani\Adapter\VideoAdapterInterface" or extend the RicardoFiorani\Adapter\AbstractServiceAdapter
