I wish my app could manage YouTube comments.

Then it's your day today. With the new YouTube Data API (v3) you can now have comments in your app. Just register your application to use the v3 API and then check out the documentation for the Comments and CommentThreads resources and their methods.

Yes, there are client libraries for many different programming languages, and there are already Java, PHP, and Python code samples.

My brother had a python and he used to feed it mice. Pretty gross!

Thanks, +Ibrahim. This is very cool. The APIs Explorer lets you try out sample calls before writing any code, too.

Check out this interactive demo that uses the new comments retrieval feature and Google Prediction APIs. The demo displays audience sentiment against any video by retrieving the video's comments and feeding them to the Cloud Prediction API for the sentiment analysis.
