Attention! API Garbage (might be unreadable):
YouTube video videos
-him and APIs and tools to younger demonstrate how you think you decline library on YouTube API to upload a video is the first time around are about as requirements that you ll need to run the democratization you want a test server running PHP five on 1.4 or higher you should prefer PHP 5.2 also need the Google data component of the Zend framework and the demo application which is available in the demos folder you can find links for all the downloads on production.com/API/YouTube so here s our YouTube demo application one at a disclaimer that this not to be used in production but primarily exist to explain the YouTube API functionality demo application consists of a number of files will spend most of our time and file operations.php which handles all of the YouTube API interactions to view the operations.php you notice that the first thing we need is to include the Zend loader class this allows us to load all of the required YouTube API classes but also notice that the application is session-based will go into more detail on that in a little bit all of the YouTube API calls get handled by a YouTube service object saga can be used in an authenticated way or another authenticated way unauthenticated requests allow you to retrieve standard YouTube feeds in all public videos authenticator requests by contrast allow you to upload videos or access private videos can use the dumb obligation to handle someone authenticator requests and readers we can search for videos would look at top-rated videos Rex s videos from a specific user sofa click search and retrieval of videos that are about GAF and I click on a videos title to watch the video you notices that were also printing out all of the videos metadata as well as related videos and top-rated videos by the user and application also handles paging of the results and show some back and next buttons rekindled through all of the videos are returned by your search in the code you can see that authenticator requests require us to create the YouTube service object and a video query and then set some parameters on the video query such as the type of search we want to perform and pass the query to get video feed method of the YouTube service object that returns a few video entries which reports through any echo video list function as you can see here and yet reveals function retrieving each individual video entry and accessing that video entries metadata reprint all the metadata in a basic HTML table and return that to the rouser Cinerama talk about authentication with the YouTube API situates for your obligation to authenticate to YouTube the other client login mechanism currently exists for installed desktop applications and also mechanism which exists for web-based applications client login mechanism requires your application to store the user credentials which are then passed to the API using a TCS and also authentication is no need for your applications store any credentials everything is handled with a number of tokens that can pass between your application and the YouTube API the way also authentication works is that your application create a link with user can authenticate with YouTube user then decides to allow your application access to their account and it s passed back to your application is then authenticated some our not educate our democratization with YouTube first up is that we need to set our developer key vertical doctor will our COM/API/YouTube and how to get your property snow is your link to authenticate with YouTube to click on this link and direct it to YouTube and a login with my Google account and either screen where YouTube asked me whether the demo application can have access to my account and allow the access I get redirected back to the demo station which is an authenticated and click on the link in the header to examine the actual session variables that were set in the process you notices that the developer key is here and at the bottom he also knows the session token is now been set in the code were relying on three simple helper methods to perform also authentication first method is called generate also request link and just calls a static function on the Zend sheet also cause passing in the URL for application scope secure and session parameters that creates a simple link where the user can authenticate with YouTube next help her method is called update also token does helper method gets called after the user has authenticated and again calls the static function on the Zend sheet also cause to update a single use token that the user received to a session token the last helper function is called get also HD decline again we call a static function on the Zend sheet also cause passing in our session token and receiving in HTP client you re also setting the developer key to the clients at her misfortune snouted the demo kitchen is authenticated or perform a video there two ways to upload videos to the YouTube API is a direct upload where your application sends the video metadata along with the file binary in one request is also browser-based upload or your application sends the video metadata first receive some variables and then creates an HTML form that the user can use to upload the actual video file to perform browser-based uploads and click on the upload a video link and enter the videos metadata manager title description and pick a category and enter some video tax does not get sent to YouTube and I receive an HTML form that can use to upload the actual video file case of Manchu was created I get back the video ID of the actual entry; video uploads are handled by the create upload form function first thing we do here is create an authenticated YouTube service object and a blank video entry within these helper functions on the video entry to set the videos metadata such as title description category and so we then pass the new video entry to the get form upload token method on the YouTube service object that method returns an array of variables which we then use an HTML form that we print to the browser I got upload video to YouTube using API in the PC client library there are things I didn t cover us for more information check out the PHP developer s guide and our documentation on code.google.com
