Suppose I have an image of a video thumbnail, and I want to retrieve all videos with a similar thumbnail. Does Youtube or Google's API provide a method to achieve this?
I am trying to see if the YouTube API supports inserting a video into a current YouTube video. This can manually be accomplished via the YouTube editor. However, I am looking to do this for all videos within a channel via an API call. Is this possible?
Thank you so much.
There are some sites on internet where they use VideoJs player to play videos from youtube. when you look at their source code it is shows something like this.

Im sure its not a google drive video. its youtube video but they are playing it from docs.google.com instead of googlevideos.com. How are they getting this link?
can anybody help me with that. I need this for some reason.
It is very easy. Just replace the googlevideo.com in the youtube download url to c.docs.google.com
Thank you for asking this question. I know this after searching sometime.

this is my question a few days ago.

I searched for one week of sample iPhone application that achieved that goal. DragonTape
https://itunes.apple.com/app/dragontape/id427536318?mt=8#
DragonTape can stream some partial youtube video stream with like below URL..

but i cannot find any youtube DATA API for creating above URL. that is just generated by JavaScript/iFrame/Flash Youtube Player API. but cannot by youtube data API.
i think that is hacked a little.
best regards.
Please see my answer on How to do post-processing on YouTube videos for simple video effects?
This kind of URL is violating Youtube TOS and gets blocked.
Is it possible to get youTube broadcasted-video URL using youTube API?
As I realized, broadcasted video URL changes everytime broadcasting is restarted.
I want to get new URL programmatically, and show broadcast-video in iFrame in my website.
Are all these possible?
Actually the answer is very easy:
From Youtube Data API documentation I've found the method where I can fetch all videos by author:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?author=crystalspringllc
And there is a video URL I want.
