The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.We need to do some work refactoring the functions that handle accessing video feeds.
It'd be nice to have something along the lines of youtube_api_get_feed($resource, $headers, $options) function, which takes a arbitrary resource link and returns an array of video objects. It'd be nice if it supplied sensible defaults for the HTTP headers, but allowed them to be overridden via a $headers array that's passed as a parameter. In addition, implementation of pagination, number of videos to return, etc. could be handled through an $options array.
Once this is completed, It'd be great to refactor user feeds, searches, and default youtube feeds (most viewed, most popular, etc.) to all route their requests through this function.
