Takes a tweet url, requests the json from Twitter oEmbed, parses the json for the html element and returns it to your template. The html returned is ready to go and will be shown as a tweet on your web page. This uses the Requests library for Python. A full example can be found on GitHub https://github.com/z3ke1r/django-tweet-embed.

Example:

This will loop through the 'tweets' queryset (defined in the view). Send the URL of each tweet object (x) to the tag function and return the embed HTML into the <div card> in the template.

template.html

{% load tweet_tags %}


{% for x in tweets %}
    <div class="mdl-card__media">
        {% autoescape off %}{% tweet_tags x.url %}{% endautoescape %}
        <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
    </div>
{% endfor %}
