Get `twitter:card` data

[Cavanna-dev]

Hi there,

Is there a possibility to get the twitter:card data from any provider?

It seems the $info->type; //The page type (link, video, image, rich) is not what I want :(.

I tried with the HTML provider but I can't access the twitter:card too. Or maybe I miss use?

Here is an example where I need to get the twitter:card value:
https://oscarotero.com/embed3/demo/index.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbits.blogs.nytimes.com%2F2011%2F12%2F08%2Fa-twitter-for-my-sister%2F
In the webpage => <meta name="twitter:card" value="summary">
But I get:

$info = Embed::create($url); // $info->getType() === 'rich'

If I try this way:

$providers = $info->getProviders();
$twitterProvider = $providers['twittercards']; // $twitterProvider->getType() === null

I need to get the value because summary and summary_large_image are not displaying the same way. Hope you can help me on this :).

Thanks for the great lib btw, you did a really good job ! :)

Ok I think I got it but it's Twitter and websites' fault IMO.

The link I sent to you is is composed by this meta <meta name="twitter:card" value="summary">.
But in Twitter's documentation, they wrote <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">. But they parse the value and the content anyway.

Btw in your https://github.com/oscarotero/Embed/blob/46e19804e330065c899657c047288f792e2bca02/src/Providers/TwitterCards.php#L26, you only parse content.

But we may do need to parse the value if twitter does it :(.

Furthermore, maybe you should set the TwitterCards.type to twitter:card? We already have the general type with
$info->getType() //The page type (link, video, image, rich)
, but it could be very interesting for people like me to get a
$twitterProvider->getType() //The twitter:card type (summary, summary_large_image, player, app)

What do you think about it?

I close this, because it was discussed in #291
