Recent Videos
Thanks to the API provided by YouTube I was able to use a script to make REST calls from my channel on YouTube to automatically post my most recent videos uploaded on this blog.
The REST call is simple:
http://www.youtube.com/api2_rest?method=youtube.videos.list_by_user&dev_id=id&user=user
It returns the following:
- author
- id
- title
- length in seconds
- average rating
- number of ratings
- description
- number of views
- time of upload
- number of comments
- tags
- url
- thumbnail url
- embed status
Then I wrote a script using the YUI Connection Manager to call it into the page.
I’ve gotta do some CSS styling still, but the basic functionality is there.
