Guldstrand Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Is there a quick and easy way to search youtube.com for videos (with "file_get_contents" or something) and then "auto embed" them on my site? Like: 1. file_get_contents("http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=$variabel&search_type=&aq=f"); 2. Grab all results and then show it on my site. This is for a rather small site with artists, and i want to be able to grab videos from youtube.com, and then display the video(s) on the artists page.

vineld Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If you do so on the fly it will NOT be popular. I think Youtube has some API that might be worth looking into?

noober Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 How about this? http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/getting_started.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167327-search-and-grab-videos-from-youtubecom/#findComment-882400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldougherty Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The Data API allows a program to perform many of the operations available on the YouTube website. It is possible to search for videos, retrieve standard feeds, and see related content. http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/getting_started.html#data_api Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167327-search-and-grab-videos-from-youtubecom/#findComment-882407 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i´m not so sure on how to use it. Care to explain, (or even better) show me some code?

vineld Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I think it would be better for you to read up on it yourself. Here's how to go about using php for example: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_php.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167327-search-and-grab-videos-from-youtubecom/#findComment-882433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
