Simple Ruby Gem to get video info from Dailymotion, VK, Vimeo (with playlist), Wistia and YouTube (with playlist).
Tested against Ruby 2.2.0 and the latest versions of JRuby & Rubinius.
gem install video_infoYoutube and Vimeo have recently updated their APIs to require API keys.
A scraper has been implemented for Youtube. However, the scraper can only get the date the video was posted, while the API is able to get the date and the exact time the video was posted. You may also wish to use the API to protect against potential HTML changes that could break the scraper.
No scraper has been implemented for Vimeo yet.
To get a Youtube API key, follow the instructions here
To get a Vimeo API key, follow the instructions here
To set the API keys, do the following:
VideoInfo.provider_api_keys = { youtube: 'YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY', vimeo: 'YOUR_VIMEO_API_KEY' }video = VideoInfo.new('http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7lni3')

user_agent: 'My YouTube Mashup Robot/1.0')User-Agent when empty defaults to "VideoInfo/VERSION" - where version is current VideoInfo version, e.g. "VideoInfo/0.2.7".
It supports all openURI header fields (options), for more information see: openURI DOCS
You can also include an iframe_attributes or url_attributes hash to the embed_code method to include arbitrary attributes in the iframe embed code or as additional URL params:
VideoInfo.new('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZqGqE0D0n4').embed_code(iframe_attributes: { width: 800, height: 600, 'data-key' => 'value' })
=> '<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/mZqGqE0D0n4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" width="800" height="600" data-key="value"></iframe>'
'VideoInfo.new('http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZqGqE0D0n4').embed_code(url_attributes: { autoplay: 1 })
=> '<iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/mZqGqE0D0n4?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>'If you would like to disable certain providers, you can do so by modifying the class variable disable_providers:
VideoInfo.disable_providers = %w[YouTube] # disable YouTube
VideoInfo.disable_providers = %w[Vimeo YouTube] # disable Vimeo and Youtube
VideoInfo.disable_providers = [] # enable all providersNote: disable_providers is case-insensitive. Attempting to use a disabled provider will raise a UrlError, just like attempting to use a
non-video URL.
