How to use it
Install the module: PyPi Tweesky page
Grab attributes from a URL
import tweesky.main as tweesky
website = 'https://www.nike.com/'
card = tweesky.generate_card(url=website)
print(card.title)
print(card.image)
Grab attributes from an HTML document
import tweesky.main as tweesky
with open('doc.html', 'r') as reader:
doc = reader.readlines()
card = tweesky.generate_card(html=doc)
print(card.title)
print(card.image)
Output options
There are different options to format the card:
- Card object (default): access the Python object to obtain the metadata
- JSON output: the Card content is provided as JSON
- HTML file: an HTML file is provided including the metadata necessary for creating the Social Media preview
HTML format
When using main.generate_card_as_html() method the output is an HTML document which can be shared as-is on Social Media.
The HTML document provides all necessary OpenGraph/Twitter tags as well as the Javascript code to redirect the users to the original page: save the file on an accessible location and distribute the link through the Social Media channels.
