Today, YouTube released some brand new APIs to the community. With the new APIs, your website can be just like a brand new YouTube. You can be on YouTube without leaving their sites. Here are some of the features the API supports:
- Upload videos and video responses to YouTube
- Add/Edit user and video metadata (titles, descriptions, ratings, comments, favorites, contacts, etc)
- Fetch localized standard feeds (most viewed, top rated, etc.) for 18 international locales
- Perform custom queries optimized for 18 international locales
- Customize player UI and control video playback (pause, play, stop, etc.) through software
To add onto that, TiVO also announced that they have set up a deal with YouTube that will allow people to play YouTube videos directly on their TV"s. Hey, no more getting off the couch!
