## Usage

Simply supply the module with a url or embed string matching any of the [patterns known by this module](https://github.com/radiovisual/get-video-id#patterns) and its metadata of `id` and `service` will be returned:

```js
import getVideoId from 'get-video-id';

getVideoId('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');
//=> { id: 'dQw4w9WgXcQ', service: 'youtube' }

const { id } = getVideoId('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ');
//=> 'dQw4w9WgXcQ'
```

get-video-id can also find the video buried in a Google redirection URL if it contains a reference to any of the supported URL patterns.

getVideoId('https://www.google.cz/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwj30L2MvpDVAhUFZVAKHb8CBaYQuAIIIjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DdQw4w9WgXcQ');
//=> { id: 'dQw4w9WgXcQ', service: 'youtube' }
```
