New YouTube API Released into the Wild!
2007年8月28日星期二
Hi everyone,
The new GData YouTube API is here! If you remember my
previous post
, we've been working on rewriting the API using the
Google data protocol
to be more scalable and reliable. We're now ready to release the read-only feeds for you to play with.
You'll be able to do all the things you could with the old API (search through videos, get user information, and list playlists). On top of that, we've added more flexibility with
filtering
,
querying
, and
alternative
outputs (e.g. if you want output in JSON). Brand new feeds include video responses, full comments list, and related videos.
Additionally, the Google data
client libraries
are now at your disposal. The
Java client library
even has YouTube-specific extensions, and you can check out the
Java developer guide
for sample code and explanations. More documentation in different languages is on the way
This new API also fulfills many of the feature requests you've been asking for,
e.g. you can now filter search results by upload date, view count, and rating as well as relevance. Visit the
wiki
for a full list of completed requests.
To get a full picture of what's new, read up on the docs at our new home on
code.google.com
. The
reference guide
,
developers guide
, and
migration guide
are great reads. (Not as engaging as Harry Potter 7, but really, what is?)
What will happen to the Legacy API?
The old REST/XML-RPC API will continue to work for at least a year - through
August 30th, 2008. After that, its existence is not guaranteed. If your website or app is using the Legacy API, we recommend switching sooner rather than later. The
migration guide
will help you through the process.
What's next?
We hear you - we know that upload and other write capabilities are wanted by the community. These features are what we're focusing on next.
We've also tried to anticipate other common questions in our new
Knowledge Base
.
As always, join the
discussion forum
to give feedback and ask questions I haven't addressed here. We're excited to see what you can build!
Cheers,
Steph
