Yt_Data_Api

yt_data_api adds functionality to access elements of the YouTube Data API. This was created as a learning tool. Check out youtube_it for more functionality, https://github.com/kylejginavan/youtube_it.

Usage

First, create a new client object passing YouTube user credentials. Note you will have to acquire a developer key from YouTube, http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#Developer_Key.

client = YtDataApi::YtDataApiClient.new(YOUTUBE_USER_ID, YOUTUBE_USER_PSWD, YOUTUBE_DEV_KEY)

Then, call functions on the client object to access the YouTube Data API.

Create a playlist and get it's id

client.create_playlist("test") playlist_id = client.get_client_playlist_id("test")

Delete a playlist

client.delete_playlist(playlist_id)

Get a video id given a query

Note spaces were replaced with '+' video_id = client.get_video_id("Otis+Kanye+West")

Add video to client playlist

client.add_video_to_playlist(video_id, playlist_id)

TODO
