I am trying to learn how to code various apps and extensions for the EasySocial community, but I am one of those people that learn better from looking at a concrete example than an abstract set of instructions. That being said, could someone make a quick video parsing app for easy social to work with one of the video sites that is not natively supported? So I can look at it and hopefully make a bunch of video parsers for the community.
Hello Tyler,

You should take a look at the links app on how it receives the data and processes it. Currently EasySocial process oembed video providers and it uses the core feature of EasySocial to crawl the url but you can apply similar logics within your app to retrieve the content and parse it accordingly.

Take a look at the links apps which is located in /media/com_easysocial/apps/user/links/links.php
