I am trying to add a feature to my web app that enables the users to create clips from embedded youtube videos on my app without bothering going through Youtube itself.
Is there any tool available? Couldn't find anything on the Youtube api docs.
I'd like to use youtube APIs (even if other tools are available), specify the start and end of the clip, then receive the new video id as the result.

I own a YouTube channel with 500+ videos. I create one to two videos a week. I am building my own website where I want to host these videos as well.
To quickly move all my older videos I want to create a script where for a given YouTube video URL the video is downloaded in MP4 format. I can then tie this into a larger workflow which leverages Youtube and Akamai's APIs to move videos from Youtube to Akamai automatically.
I know how to use YouTube's APIs to get all my video URLs. I do not want to embed a Youtube video and need to (for business reasons) use a service like Akamai.
I want a solution I can automate so not looking for apps that do this.
I am building an app which does live streaming to Youtube channel using an embedded player. So i want to know if it violates the policy of Youtube since I am using a different application to do live to the youtube Also, all the application users will stream to a single youtube channel, so any idea in how many live streams can take place at a time?
It was stated in the Broadcast and Stream documentation of the YouTube API that "only one event is live at any given time, and the video content for each broadcast is unique". To learn more about policy, you can read the YouTube API developer policies.
I did find this answer but it uses YouTube's APIv2, and is now outdated as stated in the answer.
YouTube's terms of use state that you can't use another player or download videos, so it makes sense they've excluded it from the API.
Knowing that, how do online YouTube downloaders, or third party Android apps (that allow to turn the screen off while they keep playing music for example) access those videos?
I'm trying to access a video to stream it inside unity for example (by the way there's a couple of unity assets that do it too), and I'd like to learn how they do it.
I have a responsive website for kids. Kids can watch selected Youtube Videos in a webbrowser. To make ann Android app, I used an APK creator. This app shows my website in a fullscreen webviewer. I set it up to hide the addressbar, so kids can more safely brows the App (website). On the website are no external links, except the links from the Youtube player. The YouTube video's are loading with a normal Wordpress YouTube plugin. When hitting the YouTube logo or Video URL, the Youtube website wil show.
Now Google Plays said i am violating the rules of the YouTube Api:
"Your API Client will not, and You will not encourage or create functionality for Your users or other third parties to: (8) separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API;"
This I truely not understand. There is no way I want to violate anything. When I appeal for reinstatement the just saying:
"After further review, we are unable to reinstate your application. You can find out more information under Reason for Suspension in the initial removal notification from Google Play."
The initial removal notification said what I wrote above.
I am planning on integrating YouTube into my web app where users will be able to upload videos to YouTube. I will need to programmatically access the URLs for all uploaded videos, the user IDs of the users who uploaded the videos, and record them in my database.
How can I do this using YouTube Direct Lite?
Is it possible to...
have YouTube Direct Lite callback my app when the download has been completed?
save parameters along with the uploaded video?
You have two options. You can retrieve a feed of videos that have been submitted to your playlist using the Data API, just like YouTube Direct Lite does behind the scenes. The relevant API call is something like
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&orderby=published&category=%7Bhttp%3A%2F%2Fgdata.youtube.com%2Fschemas%2F2007%2Fkeywords.cat%7DytdlPLAYLISTID
where PLAYLISTID is the id of the playlist you're using to solicit videos (omit the PL prefix).
You can periodically make this query from your own app to get a feed of videos that are being submitted.
Alternatively, you can use YouTube Direct instead of YouTube Direct Lite. YouTube Direct is a full Java App Engine web application, and has its own datastore that gets updated whenever a submission happens. You can use that data however you'd like. It's a lot more work to get up and running with YouTube Direct, though.
