Output returns the following format (as a php object; printed as json for readability):

{
  "service": "facebook",
  "text": "Example.",
  "link": "https://www.facebook.com/____",
  "id": "_",
  "created": 1428764403,
  "user": {
    "id": "_",
    "image": "https://graph.facebook.com/v2.3/_/picture/",

  },
  "media": {
    "image": "https://graph.facebook.com/_/picture?type=normal",
    "video": null
  }
}

{
  "image": null,
  "video": {
    "service": "youtube",
    "id": "_",
    "image": "http://img.youtube.com/vi/_/hqdefault.jpg"
