Making URLs meaningful to code

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/8153cb28e09185228388729690eeee254ecd05fb55f0089cff7bcbbe222849ec/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6d61757269732f6f637475726c7075732e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](http://travis-ci.org/mauris/octurlpus)

\##Intro

Octurlpus helps you to convert URLs into meaningful data that you can use to integrate services into your PHP application.

\##Demo

Having a YouTube URL that your user has given your application would mean that you need to parse the URL and fetch the data from YouTube via YouTube's API. However with Octurlpus:

```
$octurlpus = new Octurlpus();
$data = $octurlpus->request('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDpMnzRna6Y&feature=plcp');

```

You will be able to get the data about the YouTube video as:

```
{
  "provider_url":"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/",
  "thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/i2.ytimg.com\/vi\/iDpMnzRna6Y\/hqdefault.jpg",
  "title":"How-to: Installing Packfire Framework for PHP on Windows via CLI",
  "html":"\u003ciframe width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iDpMnzRna6Y?fs=1\u0026feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e",
  "author_name":"Packfire Framework",
  "height":270,
  "thumbnail_width":480,
  "width":480,
  "version":"1.0",
  "author_url":"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCu0KZBrcqqRLG-2im1gf6qg",
  "provider_name":"YouTube",
  "type":"video",
  "thumbnail_height":360
}

```

With the data, you can easily integrate videos, links, embeds, photos into your application.

\##oEmbed

oEmbed is a open embedding standard that allows consumers to get data about a URL and to integrate these data seamlessly into their applications.

Some of the providers in Octurlpus use oEmbed to retrieve the data from the providers' services by implementing the standard.
