class UrlPreviewer:
    """
    Generates an Open Graph (https://ogp.me/) responses (with some Matrix
    specific additions) for a given URL.

    When Synapse is asked to preview a URL it does the following:

    1. Checks against a URL blocklist (defined as `url_preview_url_blacklist` in the
       config).
    2. Checks the URL against an in-memory cache and returns the result if it exists. (This
       is also used to de-duplicate processing of multiple in-flight requests at once.)
    3. Kicks off a background process to generate a preview:
       1. Checks URL and timestamp against the database cache and returns the result if it
          has not expired and was successful (a 2xx return code).
       2. Checks if the URL matches an oEmbed (https://oembed.com/) pattern. If it
          does and the new URL is not blocked, update the URL to download.
       3. Downloads the URL and stores it into a file via the media storage provider
          and saves the local media metadata.
       4. If the media is an image:
          1. Generates thumbnails.
          2. Generates an Open Graph response based on image properties.
       5. If the media is HTML:
          1. Decodes the HTML via the stored file.
          2. Generates an Open Graph response from the HTML.
          3. If a JSON oEmbed URL was found in the HTML via autodiscovery:
             1. Downloads the URL and stores it into a file via the media storage provider
                and saves the local media metadata.
             2. Convert the oEmbed response to an Open Graph response.
             3. Override any Open Graph data from the HTML with data from oEmbed.
          4. If an image URL exists in the Open Graph response:
             1. Downloads the URL and stores it into a file via the media storage
                provider and saves the local media metadata.
             2. Generates thumbnails.
             3. Updates the Open Graph response based on image properties.
       6. If an oEmbed URL was found and the media is JSON:
          1. Convert the oEmbed response to an Open Graph response.
          2. If an image URL is in the oEmbed response:
             1. Downloads the URL and stores it into a file via the media storage
                provider and saves the local media metadata.
             2. Generates thumbnails.
             3. Updates the Open Graph response based on image properties.
       7. Stores the result in the database cache.
    4. Returns the result.

    If any additional requests (e.g. from oEmbed autodiscovery, step 5.3 or
    image thumbnailing, step 5.4 or 6.4) fails then the URL preview as a whole
    does not fail. If any of them are blocked, then those additional requests
    are skipped. As much information as possible is returned.

    The in-memory cache expires after 1 hour.

    Expired entries in the database cache (and their associated media files) are
    deleted every 10 seconds. The default expiration time is 1 hour from download.
