It wraps the oEmbed standard, allowing you to query URLs (especially video and image links) and receive structured metadata like title, author, thumbnail, and embed HTML. The library ships with built-in provider rules for common platforms and can parse blocks of text or HTML, automatically replacing bare links with embedded content.\n\nYou typically use it by bootstrapping a provider registry, then either requesting metadata for a single URL or parsing a larger text block to replace all recognized links with embeds. It depends only on beautifulsoup4 for HTML parsing and requires Python 3.8+.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, no known vulnerabilities, and solves a real problem\u2014extracting and embedding media metadata\u2014with a minimal dependency footprint. The only caveat is that its license is not clearly documented; verify it in the repository before use in proprietary projects."},"id":"micawber","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/micawber","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/micawber.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/micawber/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"micawber","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"a small library for extracting rich content from urls"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":205590,"position":9587,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.0"}
