New YouTube APIs

If your library is YouTubing, then you should be aware that they have released a new set of APIs that let non-YouTube developers create new and nifty things.  Here are the APIs that they added:

  • Upload videos and video responses to YouTube
  • Add/Edit user and video metadata
  • Fetch localized standard feeds for 18 international locales
  • Perform custom queries optimized for 18 international locales
  • Customize player UI and control video playback through software

Basically, if your library is embedding YouTube into your site, or wants to do some funky nifty stuff with your YouTube content, then these APIs just made it easier for you (and other developers) to create the very perfect things you have in mind.

If your library is looking for something small and easy to do with your YouTube content, try out their YouTube video bar which inserts a small sidebar with stills from and links to your video content.  Think of it as a Flickr badge for videos!
