If none of the regex matches and it’s enabled, then the URL will be given to the [WP_oEmbed](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_oembed/) class. In raw mode, checks the providers directly and returns the data. ### 󠀁[Options](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/embed-2/fetch/?output_format=md#options)󠁿 See the [argument syntax](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/references/argument-syntax/) reference for a detailed explanation of the syntax conventions used. URL to retrieve oEmbed data for. [--width=] Width of the embed in pixels. [-- height=] Height of the embed in pixels. [--post-id=] Cache oEmbed response for a given post. [--discover] Enable oEmbed discovery. Defaults to true. [--skip- cache] Ignore already cached oEmbed responses. Has no effect if using the ‘raw’ option, which doesn’t use the cache. [--skip-sanitization] Remove the filter that WordPress from 4.4 onwards uses to sanitize oEmbed responses. Has no effect if using the ‘raw’ option, which by-passes sanitization. [--do-shortcode] If the URL is handled by a registered embed handler and returns a shortcode, do shortcode and return result. Has no effect if using the ‘raw’ option, which by-passes handlers. [--limit-response- size=] Limit the size of the resulting HTML when using discovery. Default 150 KB (the standard WordPress limit). Not compatible with ‘no-discover’. [--raw] Return the raw oEmbed response instead of the resulting HTML. Ignores the cache and does not sanitize responses or use registered embed handlers. [--raw-format= ] Render raw oEmbed data in a particular format. Defaults to json. Can only be specified in conjunction with the ‘raw’ option. —options: – json – xml— ### 󠀁[Examples](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/embed-2/fetch/?output_format=md#examples)󠁿 ``` # Get embed HTML for a given URL. $ wp embed fetch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ <iframe width="525" height="295" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?feature=oembed" ... # Get raw oEmbed data for a given URL. $ wp embed fetch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ --raw {"author_url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/RickAstleyVEVO","width":525,"version":"1.0", ... ``` ### 󠀁[Global Parameters](https://developer.wordpress.org/cli/commands/embed-2/fetch/?output_format=md#global-parameters)󠁿 These [global parameters](https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/config/) have the same behavior across all commands and affect how WP-CLI interacts with WordPress. | **Argument** | **Description** | | `--path=` | Path to the WordPress files. | | `--url=` | Pretend request came from given URL.
