Youtube API
beeradb - June 17, 2008 - 21:03
This module requires PHP5, due to usage of SimpleXML.
Included in the package are two modules:
- youtube_api.module
- This module provides a set of functions acting as a bridge to the YouTube public API. Do not use this on a production site unless you're capable of assessing the quality of the code, and comfortable fixing any problems which might pop up.
- youtube_feed.module
- Provides feedapi integration with youtube feeds
An up to date function reference can be found http://atendesigngroup.com/youtube_api/index.html
I'm working on more complete documention, but for now to test run the API, just create a custom module with the following code. It will give an overview of a few of the features this module provides:
<?php
function my_module_menu($may_cache) {
if ($may_cache) {
$items[] = array(
'path' => 'my_module_youtube',
'title' => t('YouTube API Tester'),
'description' => 'Test YouTube API',
'callback' => 'my_module_display_youtube_results',
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
'access' => user_access('access content'),
);
}
return $items;
}
function my_module_display_youtube_results($op = 'search', $search_term = 'default') {
//Log a user into youtube...
// For testing purposes.
// TODO: replace with your youtube user info; only needed for video upload
youtube_api_login('user', 'password');
switch ($op) {
case 'upload':
if (!user_access('my_module_upload_video')) {
drupal_access_denied();
}
//create XML array structure to be parsed into XML for video uploads/edit's
$xml = array();
$xml['entry'] = array('#name' => 'entry',
'#attributes' => array('xmlns' => youtube_api_get_schema_definition('atom'),
'xmlns:media' => youtube_api_get_schema_definition('media'),
'xmlns:yt' => youtube_api_get_schema_definition('yt'),
),
);
$xml['entry']['media:group'] = array('#name' => 'media:group');
$xml['entry']['media:group']['media:title'] = array('#name' => 'media:title',
'#attributes' => array('type' => 'plain'),
'#value' => 'A Test YouTube API Video');
$xml['entry']['media:group']['media:description'] = array('#name' => 'media:description',
'#attributes' => array('type' => 'plain'),
'#value' => 'A Test Upload of YouTube API functionality');
$xml['entry']['media:group']['media:category'] = array('#name' => 'media:category',
'#attributes' => array('scheme' => 'http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/categories.cat'),
'#value' => 'Entertainment');
$xml['entry']['media:group']['media:keywords'] = array('#name' => 'media:keywords',
'#value' => 'test,development');
//Render the array structure into XML
$xml_string = youtube_api_create_xml('xml_tester', $xml);
//upload a video to youtube (must be logged in...)
// TODO: replace with a video file from your server
$filepath = '/home/www/files/videos/video.mov';
$filename = 'video.mov';
$result = youtube_api_video_upload($xml_string, $filepath, $filename);
drupal_set_message(t('The video upload @resulted.', array('@resulted' => $result ? 'succeeded' : 'failed')));
break;
case 'user':
//Get a list of videos in the user feed of either arg(3) or the currently logged in user...
$videos = youtube_api_get_user_uploads($search_term);
break;
case 'video':
$video = youtube_api_get_video($video_id);
break;
case 'search':
default:
//Perform a search of content on youtube, starting at the first record and bringing back 25 results
$videos = youtube_api_video_search($search_term, 1, 25);
break;
}
//Loop through videos and output them.
foreach ($videos as $video) {
$out[] = theme('youtube_api_embed', $video, $video->media['content'][0]);
}
return theme('item_list', $out);
}
