# bontan

A program to generate html embeds from URLs. You might want to use this to

generate embeds in a static blog without losing the source URL.

This just takes the URL, checks for a link to JSON OEmbed data, and pulls the

embeddable HTML out of that. That's simple but it works for YouTube, Vimeo, and

Twitter.

## Usage

You don't have to specify a width and height, but you can to get appropriately

sized content from the provider.

    Usage:

      getEmbed [required&optional-params]

    Options:

      -h, --help                       print this cligen-erated help

      --help-syntax                    advanced: prepend,plurals,..

      -u=, --url=    string  REQUIRED  set url

      -w=, --width=  int     -1        set width

      --height=      int     -1        set height

Example:

    ./bontan -w 700 -u https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgdY9k5_nEU

Output:
