YouTube_It

Donations

youtube_it is developed by many contributors who are passionate about opensource projects and selflessly donate their time and effort. Following that spirit, your donations to this project will be donated to the Tuquito Libre Foundation(http://fundacion.tuquito.org.ar) for developing technology projects intended to close the digital gap in Latin America.

Description

youtube_it is the most complete Ruby client for the YouTube GData API. It provides an easy way to access YouTube's video API. Compared to earlier YouTube interfaces, this new API and library offers much-improved flexibility around executing complex search queries to obtain well-targeted video search results. Also included is standard video management such as uploading, deleting, updating, liking, disliking, ratings and comments.

Installation & Setup

Create a youtube account.
Create a developer key here http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/dashboard.
sudo gem install youtube_it

Note: youtube_it supports ClientLogin(YouTube account), OAuth, or AuthSub authentication methods.

Example Rails 3 App

An example of how to use youtube_it with Rails 3 can be found here.

Demo

You can see youtube_it in action here.

Establishing a Client

Important: The Account Authentication API for OAuth 1.0, AuthSub and Client Login has been officially deprecated as of April 20, 2012. It will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but we encourage you to migrate to OAuth 2.0 authentication as soon as possible. If you are building a new application, you should use OAuth 2.0 authentication.

####Creating a Client

require 'youtube_it'
client = YouTubeIt::Client.new

####Client with Developer Key

client = YouTubeIt::Client.new(:dev_key => "developer_key")

####Client with YouTube Account and Developer Key

client = YouTubeIt::Client.new(:username => "youtube_username", :password =>  "youtube_password", :dev_key => "developer_key")

####Client with AuthSub

client = YouTubeIt::AuthSubClient.new(:token => "token" , :dev_key => "developer_key")

####Client with OAuth

client = YouTubeIt::OAuthClient.new("consumer_key", "consumer_secret", "youtube_username", "developer_key")
client.authorize_from_access("access_token", "access_secret")

####Client with OAuth2

client = YouTubeIt::OAuth2Client.new(client_access_token: "access_token", client_refresh_token: "refresh_token", client_id: "client_id", client_secret: "client_secret", dev_key: "dev_key", expires_at: "expiration time")

If your access token is still valid (be careful, access tokens may only be valid for about 1 hour), you can use the client directly. Refreshing the token is simple:

client.refresh_access_token!

You can see more about OAuth2 in the wiki.

Profiles

You can use multiple profiles in the same account:

profiles = client.profiles(['username1','username2']) 
profiles['username1'].username, "username1"

Video Queries

Note: Each type of client enables searching capabilities.

###Basic Queries

client.videos_by(:query => "penguin")
client.videos_by(:query => "penguin", :page => 2, :per_page => 15)
client.videos_by(:query => "penguin", :restriction => "DE")
client.videos_by(:tags => ['tiger', 'leopard'])
client.videos_by(:categories => [:news, :sports])
client.videos_by(:categories => [:news, :sports], :tags => ['soccer', 'football'])
client.videos_by(:user => 'liz')
client.videos_by(:favorites, :user => 'liz')
client.video_by("FQK1URcxmb4")
client.video_by("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsbmrCtiEUU")  
client.video_by_user("chebyte","FQK1URcxmb4")

###Standard Queries

client.videos_by(:most_viewed)
client.videos_by(:most_linked, :page => 3)
client.videos_by(:top_rated, :time => :today)

###Advanced Queries (with boolean operators OR (either), AND (include), NOT (exclude))

client.videos_by(:categories => { :either => [:news, :sports], :exclude => [:comedy] }, :tags => { :include => ['football'], :exclude => ['soccer'] })

###Custom Query Params

client.videos_by(:query => "penguin", :safe_search => "strict")
client.videos_by(:query => "penguin", :duration => "long")
client.videos_by(:query => "penguin", :hd => "true")
client.videos_by(:query => "penguin", :region => "AR")

You can see more options here.

####Fields Parameter(experimental features): Return videos more than 1000 views:

client.videos_by(:fields => {:view_count => "1000"})

####Filter by date

client.videos_by(:fields => {:published  => ((Date.today)})
client.videos_by(:fields => {:recorded   => ((Date.today)})

####Filter by date with range

client.videos_by(:fields => {:published  => ((Date.today - 30)..(Date.today))})
client.videos_by(:fields => {:recorded   => ((Date.today - 30)..(Date.today))})

Note: These queries do not find private videos! Use these methods instead:

client.get_my_video("FQK1URcxmb4")
client.get_my_videos(:query => "penguin")

##Video Management

Note: YouTube account, OAuth, or AuthSub enables video management.

####Upload Video

client.video_upload(File.open("test.mov"), :title => "test",:description => 'some description', :category => 'People',:keywords => %w[cool blah test])

Access Control List

You can give permissions in your videos, for example denied comments, rate, etc... More info here.

You have available the followings options:

:rate, :comment, :commentVote, :videoRespond, :list, :embed, :syndicate

with just two values:

allowed or denied

####Example (Upload Video with Denied Comments)

client = YouTubeIt::Client.new(:username => "youtube_username", :password =>  "youtube_password", :dev_key => "developer_key")
client.video_upload(File.open("test.mov"), :title => "test",:description => 'some description', :category => 'People',:keywords => %w[cool blah test], :comment => "denied")

User Activity

You can get user activity with the followings params:

client.activity(user) #default current user

Video Upload from Browser

When uploading a video from your browser you need make a form upload with the followings params:

upload_token(params, nexturl)

####Example params

:title => "title", :description => "description", :category => "People", :tags => ["test"]

nexturl is the url to redirect to after upload is complete

Controller

def upload
  @upload_info = YouTubeIt::Client.new.upload_token(params, videos_url)
end

View (upload.html.erb)

<% form_tag @upload_info[:url], :multipart => true do %>
  <%= hidden_field_tag :token, @upload_info[:token] %>
  <%= label_tag :file %>
  <%= file_field_tag :file %>
  <%= submit_tag "Upload video" %>
<% end %>

Widescreen Video

If the video has support for widescreen

video.embed_html_with_width(1280)

Note: you can specify width or just use the default of 1280.

Using HTML5

Now you can embed videos without Flash using HTML5. Useful for mobile devices that do not support Flash.

You can specify these options:

video.embed_html5({:class => 'video-player', :id => 'my-video', :width => '425', :height => '350', :frameborder => '1', :url_params => {:option_one => "value", :option_two => "value"}})

or just use with default options:

video.embed_html5 #default: width: 425, height: 350, frameborder: 0

Logging

youtube_it passes all logs through the logger variable on the class itself. In Rails context, assign the Rails logger to that variable to collect the messages (don't forget to set the level to debug)

YouTubeIt.logger = RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.level = Logger::DEBUG
