# Embedded content
Wagtail supports generating embed code from URLs to content on external
providers such as YouTube or Twitter. By default, Wagtail will fetch the embed
code directly from the relevant provider's site using the oEmbed protocol.
Wagtail has a built-in list of the most common providers and this list can be
changed [with a setting](customising_embed_providers). Wagtail also supports
fetching embed code using [Embedly](embedly) and [custom embed finders](custom_embed_finders).
## Embedding content on your site
Wagtail's embeds module should work straight out of the box for most providers.
You can use any of the following methods to call the module:
### Rich text
Wagtail's default rich text editor has a "media" icon that allows embeds to be
placed into rich text. You don't have to do anything to enable this; just make
sure the rich text field's content is being passed through the `|richtext`
filter in the template as this is what calls the embeds module to fetch and
nest the embed code.
### `EmbedBlock` StreamField block type
The `EmbedBlock` block type allows embeds
to be placed into a `StreamField`.
The `max_width` and `max_height` arguments are sent to the provider when fetching the embed code.
For example:
```python
from wagtail.embeds.blocks import EmbedBlock
class MyStreamField(blocks.StreamBlock):
...
embed = EmbedBlock(max_width=800, max_height=400)
```
### `{% embed %}` tag
Syntax: `{% embed <url> [max_width=<max width>] %}`
You can nest embeds into a template by passing the URL and an optional
`max_width` argument to the `{% embed %}` tag.
The `max_width` argument is sent to the provider when fetching the embed code.
```html+django
{% load wagtailembeds_tags %}
{# Embed a YouTube video #}
{% embed 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffu-2jEdLPw' %}
{# This tag can also take the URL from a variable #}
{% embed page.video_url %}
```
### From Python
You can also call the internal `get_embed` function that takes a URL string
and returns an `Embed` object (see model documentation below). This also
takes a `max_width` keyword argument that is sent to the provider when
fetching the embed code.
```python
from wagtail.embeds.embeds import get_embed
from wagtail.embeds.exceptions import EmbedException
try:
embed = get_embed('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffu-2jEdLPw')
print(embed.html)
except EmbedException:
# Cannot find embed
pass
```
(configuring_embed_finders)=
## Configuring embed "finders"
Embed finders are the modules within Wagtail that are responsible for producing
embed code from a URL.
Embed finders are configured using the `WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS` setting. This
is a list of finder configurations that are each run in order until one of them
successfully returns an embed:
The default configuration is:
```python
WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS = [
{
'class': 'wagtail.embeds.finders.oembed'
}
]
```
(oEmbed)=
### oEmbed (default)
The default embed finder fetches the embed code directly from the content
provider using the oEmbed protocol. Wagtail has a built-in list of providers
which are all enabled by default. You can find that provider list at the
following link:
<https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/blob/main/wagtail/embeds/oembed_providers.py>
(customising_embed_providers)=
#### Customizing the provider list
You can limit which providers may be used by specifying the list of providers
in the finder configuration.
For example, this configuration will only allow content to be nested from Vimeo
and Youtube. It also adds a custom provider:
```python
from wagtail.embeds.oembed_providers import youtube, vimeo
# Add a custom provider
# Your custom provider must support oEmbed for this to work. You should be
# able to find these details in the provider's documentation.
# - 'endpoint' is the URL of the oEmbed endpoint that Wagtail will call
# - 'urls' specifies which patterns
my_custom_provider = {
'endpoint': 'https://customvideosite.com/oembed',
'urls': [
'^http(?:s)?://(?:www\\.)?customvideosite\\.com/[^#?/]+/videos/.+$',
]
}
WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS = [
{
'class': 'wagtail.embeds.finders.oembed',
'providers': [youtube, vimeo, my_custom_provider],
}
]
```
#### Customizing an individual provider
Multiple finders can be chained together. This can be used for customizing the
configuration for one provider without affecting the others.
For example, this is how you can instruct YouTube to return videos in HTTPS
(which must be done explicitly for YouTube):
```python
from wagtail.embeds.oembed_providers import youtube
WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS = [
# Fetches YouTube videos but puts ``?scheme=https`` in the GET parameters
# when calling YouTube's oEmbed endpoint
{
'class': 'wagtail.embeds.finders.oembed',
'providers': [youtube],
'options': {'scheme': 'https'}
},
# Handles all other oEmbed providers the default way
{
'class': 'wagtail.embeds.finders.oembed',
}
]
```
#### How Wagtail uses multiple finders
If multiple providers can handle a URL (for example, a YouTube video was
requested using the configuration above), the topmost finder is chosen to
perform the request.
Wagtail will not try to run any other finder, even if the chosen one doesn't
return an embed.
(facebook_and_instagram_embeds)=
### Facebook and Instagram
As of October 2020, Meta deprecated their public oEmbed APIs. If you would
like to embed Facebook or Instagram posts in your site, you will need to
use the new authenticated APIs. This requires you to set up a Meta
Developer Account and create a Facebook App that includes the _oEmbed Product_.
Instructions for creating the necessary app are in the requirements sections of the
[Facebook](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/oembed)
and [Instagram](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram/oembed) documentation.
As of June 2021, the _oEmbed Product_ has been replaced with the _oEmbed Read_
feature. In order to embed Facebook and Instagram posts your app must activate
the _oEmbed Read_ feature. Furthermore, the app must be reviewed and accepted
by Meta. You can find the announcement in the
[API changelog](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/changelog/version11.0/#oembed).
Apps that activated the oEmbed Product before June 8, 2021 need to activate
the oEmbed Read feature and review their app before September 7, 2021.
Once you have your app access tokens (App ID and App Secret), add the Facebook and/or
Instagram finders to your `WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS` setting and configure them with
the App ID and App Secret from your app:
```python
WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS = [
{
'class': 'wagtail.embeds.finders.facebook',
'app_id': 'YOUR FACEBOOK APP_ID HERE',
'app_secret': 'YOUR FACEBOOK APP_SECRET HERE',
},
{
'class': 'wagtail.embeds.finders.instagram',
'app_id': 'YOUR INSTAGRAM APP_ID HERE',
'app_secret': 'YOUR INSTAGRAM APP_SECRET HERE',
},
# Handles all other oEmbed providers the default way
{
'class': 'wagtail.embeds.finders.oembed',
}
]
```
By default, Facebook and Instagram embeds include some JavaScript that is necessary to
fully render the embed. In certain cases, this might not be something you want - for
example, if you have multiple Facebook embeds, this would result in multiple script tags.
By passing `'omitscript': True` in the configuration, you can indicate that these script
tags should be omitted from the embed HTML. Note that you will then have to take care of
loading this script yourself.
(embedly)=
### Embed.ly
[Embed.ly](https://embed.ly) is a paid-for service that can also provide
embeds for sites that do not implement the oEmbed protocol.
They also provide some helpful features such as giving embeds a consistent look
and a common video playback API which is useful if your site allows videos to
be hosted on different providers and you need to implement custom controls for
them.
Wagtail has built in support for fetching embeds from Embed.ly. To use it,
first pip install the `Embedly` [python package](https://pypi.org/project/Embedly/).
Now add an embed finder to your `WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS` setting that uses the
`wagtail.embeds.finders.oembed` class and pass it your API key:
```python
WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS = [
{
'class': 'wagtail.embeds.finders.embedly',
'key': 'YOUR EMBED.LY KEY HERE'
}
]
```
(custom_embed_finders)=
### Custom embed finder classes
For complete control, you can create a custom finder class.
Here's a stub finder class that could be used as a skeleton; please read the
docstrings for details of what each method does:
```python
from wagtail.embeds.finders.base import EmbedFinder
class ExampleFinder(EmbedFinder):
def __init__(self, **options):
pass
def accept(self, url):
"""
Returns True if this finder knows how to fetch an embed for the URL.
This should not have any side effects (no requests to external servers)
"""
pass
def find_embed(self, url, max_width=None):
"""
Takes a URL and max width and returns a dictionary of information about the
content to be used for embedding it on the site.
This is the part that may make requests to external APIs.
"""
# TODO: Perform the request
return {
'title': "Title of the content",
'author_name': "Author name",
'provider_name': "Provider name (such as YouTube, Vimeo, etc)",
'type': "Either 'photo', 'video', 'link' or 'rich'",
'thumbnail_url': "URL to thumbnail image",
'width': width_in_pixels,
'height': height_in_pixels,
'html': "<h2>The Embed HTML</h2>",
}
```
Once you've implemented all of those methods, you just need to add it to your
`WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS` setting:
```python
WAGTAILEMBEDS_FINDERS = [
{
'class': 'path.to.your.finder.class.here',
# Any other options will be passed as kwargs to the __init__ method
}
]
```
## The `Embed` model
```{eval-rst}
.. class:: wagtail.embeds.models.Embed
Embeds are fetched only once and stored in the database so subsequent requests
for an individual embed do not hit the embed finders again.
.. attribute:: url
(text)
The URL of the original content of this embed.
.. attribute:: max_width
(integer, nullable)
The max width that was requested.
.. attribute:: type
(text)
The type of the embed. This can be either 'video', 'photo', 'link' or 'rich'.
.. attribute:: html
(text)
The HTML content of the embed that should be placed on the page
.. attribute:: title
(text)
The title of the content that is being embedded.
.. attribute:: author_name
(text)
The author's name of the content that is being embedded.
.. attribute:: provider_name
(text)
The provider name of the content that is being embedded.
For example: YouTube, Vimeo
.. attribute:: thumbnail_url
(text)
a URL to a thumbnail image of the content that is being embedded.
.. attribute:: width
(integer, nullable)
The width of the embed (images and videos only).
.. attribute:: height
(integer, nullable)
The height of the embed (images and videos only).
.. attribute:: last_updated
(datetime)
The Date/time when this embed was last fetched.
```
### Deleting embeds
As long as your embeds configuration is not broken, deleting items in the
`Embed` model should be perfectly safe to do. Wagtail will automatically
repopulate the records that are being used on the site.
You may want to do this if you've changed from oEmbed to Embedly or vice-versa
as the embed code they generate may be slightly different and lead to
inconsistency on your site.
In general, whenever you make changes to embed settings you are recommended to clear out Embed objects using [`purge_embeds` command](purge_embeds).
