Now you can create more than one Youtube channel. In my Android app I need to let user select one of these channels and work with it (get subscription videos, etc..).
I'd like to emulate the official Youtube app where you can choose one of my channels that I have created in my Youtube account.
EDIT:
Finally I solved the problem with the Ibrahim suggestion. In a webview I used the oAuth2 authentication like this:
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube&response_type=code&access_type=offline
Then receive the token to use to get the access_token:
String url = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";
List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(5);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("grant_type", "authorization_code"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("client_id", YoutubeBase.CLIENT_ID_NUMBER));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("client_secret", YoutubeBase.CLIENT_SECRET));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("code", code));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("redirect_uri", YoutubeBase.REDIRECT_URI));
response = RestClient.postGoogleData(url, nameValuePairs);
And finally use the access_token to call to Youtube Data API:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default?v2.1&access_token=" + accesToken
I've used with API v2 but works with v3.
There is no Page selector built-in with the current Android native OAuth2 client. Till that is built, the only workaround is that, doing the web version Oauth2, get the token, and use that token in your requests later on.
I want to allow visitors of my site to upload videos to my YouTube channel.
I don't want to force the visitors to sign in with Google.
I want the upload to be sent from the visitors browser directly to YouTube using CORS or similar. See example below.
I don't want to handle the video on my server. I don't like the idea of my server first receiving a 1GB (example) file and then sending it to YouTube. It would stress my storage capabilities and my bandwidth.
The example below is almost perfect.
The only problem with it is that it requires the user to sign in user their google account.
What I'm wondering is if I somehow can give the client the proper credentials to use MY account to upload the video.
Is that possible? Can I perhaps generate some kind of access token server side and send it to the client so that the client can upload a video to YouTube under my name?
Can it be done without giving the client the ability to do other stuff such as delete videos / edit my account etc?
Example here: https://youtube-api-samples.googlecode.com/git/yt-upload-javascript/index.html
it is possible. I'm building something similar at the moment. The general idea is that you store all the secure secret data on the server. (Client secret, refresh token etc)
Then when a client wants to upload a video to youtube, you check (via the server ) if the token has expired (1hr expiration time).
If it has you need to request a new access_token from youtube and then pass that back to the client for them to use.
Just for your info, I am using moment.js for the timekeeping and Meteor.js for the app.
var now = moment();
var result;
if (now.diff(Meteor.settings.youtube.expiration, 'minutes') >= 50) {
console.log('Getting new access token...')
var options = {
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
},
content: "client_secret=" + Meteor.settings.youtube.client_secret + "&grant_type=refresh_token&refresh_token=" + Meteor.settings.youtube.refresh_token + "&client_id=" + Meteor.settings.youtube.client_id
}
try {
result = HTTP.call("POST", 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/token', options);
Meteor.settings.youtube.access_token = result.data.access_token;
Meteor.settings.youtube.expiration = moment();
return Meteor.settings.youtube.access_token;
} catch (e) {
// Got a network error, time-out or HTTP error in the 400 or 500 range.
return false;
}
} else {
console.log('Returning access token...')
return Meteor.settings.youtube.access_token;
}
Our project lets users upload videos to OUR public youtube channel when they are signed into our session. We do not want to require additional OAuth2 verification, and instead follow the follow of Google API v2.
My code (php) and error are below, but my general question is: can my server make the insert-video POST using my API key/secrets without requiring the user to authenticate.
This question - Google Calendar API v3 hardcoded credentials - is very similar. Howevr if CURLing Google for the access_token is the only answer, i'll be disappointed. Thanks regardless.

First off, letting arbitrary users upload videos into a "master" YouTube channel is not recommended, for the reasons outlined in this blog post.
That being said, if you're determined to do it, then you need to include an access token associated with your channel in each upload request. The appropriate way to get a fresh access token (they expire after an hour) is to take a refresh token that you've previously generated and stored somewhere and make an HTTP request to the appropriate URL to get back an access token, as explained in the OAuth 2 documentation. There's no way around that—I'm not sure whether there's a native method in the Google APIs PHP client library that will automate the process for you, but that's what needs to happen under the hood.
The information in Google Calendar API v3 hardcoded credentials does seem relevant.
Time ago I have this code to put the 3 last tweets of an user:
jQuery.getJSON("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/"+ user +".json?callback=?&count=3", function(data) {
jQuery.each(data, function(i, object) {
var textt = object.text.linkify().atify().hashify();
jQuery("#twitter").append('<p><span class="text">' + textt + '</span><br/><span class="quan">' +parseTwitterDate(object.created_at) + '</span></p><hr/>');
});
});
Now, I read that API have changed for a new URL and needs to create an App with secure token (Oauth) for let to see tweets on a site.
I've created the App with the user that I would like to shown the tweets and I have the secure keys, but How I can show now the tweets? I need to put this keys on some line of Javascript code? But with Javascript I can't put this keys because are secrets...
In short: you need a OAuth authentication before you can use the 1.1 API. The only way is to implement this step server side and pull the feed from there with Javascript. While doing this caching the feed increases page load.
Remember to check out the display REQUIREMENTS from twitter. Really, yes really!
I've been working on a solution. In my search I found the following resources very helpful:
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1.1
http://www.jaisenmathai.com/articles/twitter-async-documentation.html
I looked through the API documentation but couldn't find it. It would be nice to grab that number to see how popular a url is. Engadget uses the twitter share button on articles if you're looking for an example. I'm attempting to do this through javascript. Any help is appreciated.
You can use the following API endpoint,
http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://stackoverflow.com
Note that the http://urls.api.twitter.com/ endpoint is not public.)
The endpoint will return a JSON string similar to,
{"count":27438,"url":"http:\/\/stackoverflow.com\/"}
On the client, if you are making a request to get the URL share count for your own domain (the one the script is running from), then an AJAX request will work (e.g. jQuery.getJSON). Otherwise, issue a JSONP request by appending callback=?:
jQuery.getJSON('https://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://stackoverflow.com/&callback=?', function (data) {
jQuery('#so-url-shares').text(data.count);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="so-url-shares">Calculating...</div>
Update:
As of 21st November 2015, this way of getting twitter share count, does not work anymore. Read more at: https://blog.twitter.com/2015/hard-decisions-for-a-sustainable-platform
This is not possible anymore as from today, you can read more here:
https://twitter.com/twitterdev/status/667836799897591808
And no plans to implement it back, unfortunately.
Up vote so users do not lose time trying out.
Update:
It is however possible via http://opensharecount.com, they provide a drop-in replacement for the old private JSON URL based on searches made via the API (so you don't need to do all that work).
It's based on the REST API Search endpoints. Its still new system, so we should see how it goes. In the future we can expect more of similar systems, because there is huge demand.
this is for url with https (for Brodie)
https://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=YOUR_URL
No.
How do I access the count API to find out how many Tweets my URL has had?
In this early stage of the Tweet Button the count API is private. This means you need to use either our javascript or iframe Tweet Button to be able to render the count. As our systems scale we will look to make the count API public for developers to use.
http://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button_faq#custom-shortener-count
Yes,
https://share.yandex.ru/gpp.xml?url=http://www.web-technology-experts-notes.in
Replace "http://www.web-technology-experts-notes.in" with "your full web page URL".
Check the Sharing count of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest
http://www.web-technology-experts-notes.in/2015/04/share-count-and-share-url-of-facebook-twitter-linkedin-and-pininterest.html
Update:
As of 21st November 2015, Twitter has removed the "Tweet count endpoint" API.
Read More: https://twitter.com/twitterdev/status/667836799897591808
The approved reply is the right one. There are other versions of the same endpoint, used internally by Twitter.
For example, the official share button with count uses this one:
https://cdn.syndication.twitter.com/widgets/tweetbutton/count.json?url=[URL]
JSONP support is there adding &callback=func.
I know that is an old question but for me the url http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://stackoverflow.com did not work in ajax calls due to Cross-origin issues.
I solved using PHP CURL, I made a custom route and called it through ajax.
/* Other Code */
$options = array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, // return web page
CURLOPT_HEADER => false, // don't return headers
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, // follow redirects
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, // stop after 10 redirects
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", // handle compressed
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "test", // name of client
CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true, // set referrer on redirect
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120, // time-out on connect
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 120, // time-out on response
);
$url = $_POST["url"]; //whatever you need
if($url !== ""){
$curl = curl_init("http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=".$url);
curl_setopt_array($curl, $options);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo json_encode(json_decode($result)); //whatever response you need
}
It is important to use a POST because passsing url in GET request cause issues.
Hope it helped.
This comment https://stackoverflow.com/a/8641185/1118419 proposes to use Topsy API. I am not sure that API is correct:
Twitter response for www.e-conomic.dk:
http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=http://www.e-conomic.dk
shows 10 count
Topsy response fro www.e-conomic.dk:
http://otter.topsy.com/stats.json?url=http://www.e-conomic.dk
18 count
This way you can get it with jquery. The div id="twitterCount" will be populated automatic when the page is loaded.
function getTwitterCount(url){
var tweets;
$.getJSON('http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=' + url + '&callback=?', function(data){
tweets = data.count;
$('#twitterCount').html(tweets);
});
}
var urlBase='http://http://stackoverflow.com';
getTwitterCount(urlBase);
Cheers!
Yes, there is. As long as you do the following:
Issue a JSONP request to one of the urls:
http://cdn.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=[URL_IN_REQUEST]&callback=[YOUR_CALLBACK]
http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url=[URL_IN_REQUEST]&callback=[YOUR_CALLBACK]
Make sure that the request you are making is from the same domain as the [URL_IN_REQUEST]. Otherwise, it will not work.
Example:
Making requests from example.com to request the count of example.com/page/1. Should work.
Making requests from another-example.com to request the count of example.com/page/1. Will NOT work.
I just read the contents into a json object via php, then parse it out..
<script>
<?php
$tweet_count_url = 'http://urls.api.twitter.com/1/urls/count.json?url='.$post_link;
$tweet_count_open = fopen($tweet_count_url,"r");
$tweet_count_read = fread($tweet_count_open,2048);
fclose($tweet_count_open);
?>
var obj = jQuery.parseJSON('<?=$tweet_count_read;?>');
jQuery("#tweet-count").html("("+obj.count+") ");
</script>
Simple enough, and it serves my purposes perfectly.
This Javascript class will let you fetch share information from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
Example of usage
<p>Facebook count: <span id="facebook_count"></span>.</p>
<p>Twitter count: <span id="twitter_count"></span>.</p>
<p>LinkedIn count: <span id="linkedin_count"></span>.</p>
<script type="text/javascript">
var smStats=new SocialMediaStats('https://google.com/'); // Replace with your desired URL
smStats.facebookCount('facebook_count'); // 'facebook_count' refers to the ID of the HTML tag where the result will be placed.
smStats.twitterCount('twitter_count');
smStats.linkedinCount('linkedin_count');
</script>
