  • Fix possible ValueError in convert_to_int caused by values like 1px

    Fix possible ValueError in convert_to_int caused by values like 1px

    When trying to parse http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/09/rim-fire-map-color-scale/ a ValueError was raised in convert_to_img, because the page has image width and height values ending in px.

    I changed the function to be more liberal regarding dimension values, by extracting the digits before casting to int. I added a test for this.

    Not sure though if the value should be converted to int at all or kept as a string.

    The og:video tag has the identical tags as og:image.

    og:image:url - Identical to og:image. og:image:secure_url - An alternate url to use if the webpage requires HTTPS. og:image:type - A MIME type for this image. og:image:width - The number of pixels wide. og:image:height - The number of pixels high.

  • Optional support for canonical URL meta tag.

    Optional support for canonical URL meta tag.

    This is very roughed in, but it adds support for returning the URL as provided by the canonical link element.

    There isn't anything to determine precedence with og:url.

    Has passing tests, and is disabled by default.

    Needed this for a project, not sure if it would be useful upstream.

  • Possible relative URL in og:image

    Possible relative URL in og:image

    I just came accros a page with a relative path value for the og:image. Adding a call to urljoin on the src attribute in line 186 of core.py would be a possibility, but maybe it's better to check for the src prop (possibly href prop too) in _filter_meta_data and do it there. What do you think about that?

  • Update requests==2.8 in setup.py, too

    Update requests==2.8 in setup.py, too

    The changelog for the last release states, that request is now pinned at version 2.8, yet when installing the latest version of lassie, it requires (and install) version 2.6 – the setup.py hasn't been updated to reflect that change and breaks the installation. This PR corrects that.

  • Please allow to configure the requests session

    Please allow to configure the requests session

    It would be useful to be able to configure the requests session used to retrieve the requested URL.

    You could perhaps initialize a default session object in the Lassie constructor, which the user could then configure, and/or add a parameter to Lassie.fetch() to override the default session.

  • make image urls absolute and added mock to test_requirements

    make image urls absolute and added mock to test_requirements

    I made a change so that when lassie.fetch is called with all_images=True the images src attributes contain absolute URLs. Since lassie already comes with a function that makes relative URLs absolute, I think it's better done inside lassie than in the application which imports it.

    When trying to run the tests after the changes the mock package was missing, so I added it to the test_requirements.txt file.

  • Any reason to pindown upper version in requirements.txt

    Any reason to pindown upper version in requirements.txt

    Hi,

    Since lassie is a library, limiting upper versions for dependencies as in

    requests>=2.18.4,<3.0.0
    beautifulsoup4>=4.9.0,<4.10.0
    

    can lead to conflicts for software using it, e.g. on pip install:

    The conflict is caused by:
        The user requested beautifulsoup4==4.10.0
        lassie 0.11.11 depends on beautifulsoup4<4.10.0 and >=4.9.0
    

    Is there any reason for the pindown?

    Add new filters for embeddable items

    The idea is to return as much data as we can in the API so users can possibly embed media. (i.e. Spotify tracks)

    We'll probably add a new embed.py and return a new embed key in the lassie API response.
