VideoInfo
A Ruby gem to fetch video metadata from YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and Wistia URLs.
What is VideoInfo?
VideoInfo is a Ruby gem that extracts metadata from video URLs hosted on YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and Wistia. It provides a unified interface to fetch details like title, duration, thumbnails, and author information, solving the problem of integrating with multiple video platforms' APIs or scrapers.
Ruby developers building applications that need to display, analyze, or manage video content from supported platforms, such as content management systems, video galleries, or social media tools.
Developers choose VideoInfo for its simplicity, multi-provider support, and minimal dependencies. It abstracts away the complexities of each platform's API and provides a consistent data structure, with the flexibility to use official APIs or fallback scrapers.
