Inline Media

[Floating Floating]

What is the best way to pull media (photos, videos) inline? I started writing some code to parse particular URLs, but I was wondering if Twitter offered any API hooks into the parsing they already do to achieve this. 

Thanks!

We don't offer any hooks via the API right now, but Tweet Entities ( http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_entities ) will do much to aid you in the basics of identifying domains and (when possible) file extensions. 

I recommend taking a look at http://embed.ly -- a third party service that makes it rather trivial to embed content from many popular & niche sites across the web.
