YouTube API Module in the Wild
Earlier this week I was able to release the first supported version of the YouTube API module I've been working on for the last couple months. Initially I thought I'd be releasing the beta in early July, but instead decided to hold out until I could find some time to work on feedapi integration.
An overview of features in this initial release:
- Video Management
- Creating (uploading)
- Editing
- Deleting
- FeedAPI Integration (think views...)
- Video Feeds
- User Feeds
- Searches
- Standard Feeds (as outlined in the YouTube API Developer's Guide)
- Commenting - reading and submitting.
- Other
- Authentication
- Video Rating
- Favorites
..and a handful of others. Besides the feedapi integration offered by the module, all of the other features require a bit of coding on the end users side. My goal is not to make integration decisions for end users, but to give them all the features necessary to be able to take full advantage of the YouTube public API in just a few lines of code.
Better documentation is on the way™, but for now you can get started by checking out the examples on the modules project page, taking a look at the modules function reference, and getting familiar with the YouTube API Developer's Guide wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Enjoy!

That’s great! Folks, this is an excellent module for hooking into the YouTube API. It’s definitely part of the holy grail of publishing video straight from your mobile phone to the world. And don’t forget that Media Mover harvests video from e-mail. Soon to be hooked into Embedded Media Field, as soon as we’ve got the d6 port ready for that…
