I was wondering if there is a list of available categories where videos can be uploaded to YouTube (programmatically, that is). I have found this but to be honest I don't know what part is supposed to be meaning.
See the documentation.
part can be either id or snippet (which includes the category names).
You also need to provide a regionCode (e.g. US) or the list of category IDs you want.
At the end of the documentation page there's a form where you can test it.

this is desired output for site
this is how youtube displays multiple playlist...how can I add this just like they have it to my site AND to linkedin profile?
embedding the share html link just brings in playlist but it does not display properly....I need it to appear exactly like it does in attached pic???
Linking to your LinkedIn profile, I have not tried. So perhaps someone else can tell you.
As to having a section like the one you showed to be on your own site is doable.
Firstly you will need to collect the playlist ID's that you are going to use.
Then you will need to get the video ID's from the video's in each Playlist.
This can be done with the API.
As to the displaying it like on youtube, you will need to do that yourself with one or more combination of table's, div's and CSS. Then With the information you grabbed in the APi, populate it.
Best to do it in a loop so as to be done all at the same time. Then put it to the page where you require it to be.
Here's the same video, under two different channels:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYh9DCN8ads
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_v7QrIW0zY
The second one is the original I believe. But if you query the api using the id 'gYh9DCN8ads', it seems like there's no information that points you to the original content creator, is there? All you can get is the channel, which is FlorianPurcarus, not Isaac Lamb.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to get the original video ID since YouTube does not make this information available to the public.
However, if you are the owner of the content and you are a Content ID partner, you are able to list active claims on one of your assets. For more information about that, please reach out to your Partner Technology Manager for more information.
I am trying to display a list of podcast channels by a particular author. When a podcast is selected, display the relevant episodes. I am able to do each independently, but can't figure out how to bridge the two.
Right now my list of podcasts by author is generated using the iTunes App Store Search API. For example, you can request
#"term" : #"twit", #"media" : #"podcast"
and it will yield all the podcast channels by the author TWiT. It includes a lot of useful metadata via JSON, such as the title, artworkUrl, etc. But no direct link to the podcast that I can find.
I can also display a list of episodes for a specific podcast by parsing the iTunes RSS Tags from a hardcoded channel link that I extract by subscribing to said podcast in iTunes, then right-clicking on it and selecting Copy Podcast URL. TWiT again as an example would yield:
http://feeds.twit.tv/kh_video_hd.xml
Where this seems to fall apart is linking the two. I can't find a way to extract the direct podcast URL from the iTunes App Store JSON metadata.
I have seen the post on Finding the URL for podcast feeds from an iTunes id, but this seems to suggest you can only do it from the Apple supplied feeds from the iTunes Store RSS Generator. It is limited to predefined criteria (e.g. Top Podcasts).
Suggestions or clarifications would be appreciated. The only path I'm seeing right now is to hard code each of the Podcasts channels from my author list.
I think I've found the key. I'm not sure if this is universal, but in the podcasts I've tested with, the JSON results include a feedUrl parameter. Which frustratingly, is not mentioned on the Search API page.
feedUrl = "http://leoville.tv/podcasts/twit.xml";
Passing the value of this feedURL parameter pulled from the search API JSON results, and parsing it as RSS seems to deliver what I need.
Right Here.
"trackViewUrl":"https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=120954025&id=120954021&s=143441"
I think.
Is there any YouTube API which enables external applications to search for keyword/brand name across all video comments on YouTube and send it back to some URL? Also, pull method is fine if the proposed push idea does not exist.
So I would like to know if my brand was mentioned in any video comment on YouTube, similar as what Twitter allows with User/Site Streams.
The YouTube API (v2.0) defines comments as a property of the video object. Details on this relationship here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_comments?hl=en#Retrieve_comments
Therefore, in order to search every YouTube comment you would need to traverse the entire collection of videos. If you're going to attempt something like this, it makes sense to validate your concept by first focusing on the feeds or categories that are most relevant to your brand. Details on feed and categories here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_video_feeds
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_category_keyword_browsing
No, there isn't anything like this available from the existing youtube api (neither V2 nor V3)
Is it possible to find the context of a video in respect to any playlist that it is included in? I would like to be able to check if the videoEntry is included in a playlist and, if so, figure out the next video in the playlist.
Flickr has a lot of great photo context methods, I hope YouTube does too, I just can't find anything on it.
Well, obviously you want to know the VideoId of the video in question first, right? So say it's "4eUibFQKJqI" and it's in a playlist whose Id is "6C0464B5CC81A607" (You can easily get those Ids from your 'My Account' section in YouTube).
If I get the feed for that playlist, then the resulting xml file gives you all the information you need to check if that Video is present, and the order that you have set in 'My Account' is preserved.
So, you have two ways of analysing the results that YouTube sends you. One is to make a request to that playlist address and parsing the results using Linq-to-Sql, if you use Asp.Net, for example. Whatever language you use, it will have Xml-parsing capabilities, so it's just a case of iterating through the entries in the feed.
If you use a library for your language, it may well have a specific method to determine whether a given video is in a given playlist, but if it doesn't, it's pretty easy to query the raw xml file and get that information, as described above.
Hope that helps - it's hard to tell from your question what level you're at with this stuff... Anyway, it's all at the Developers' Guide.
