YouTube Released New API

YouTube released some new APIs, pulling some all-nighters and added some powerful new ways to integrate YouTube content and community into other websites, desktop applications, video games, mobile devices, televisions, cameras, and lots more. These new API turns your website into just like a brand new YouTube. You can be on YouTube without leaving their sites.

You can now

* 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



Quoting

We try really hard to make YouTube as open as possible. Anyone can upload and view videos, which can be embedded anywhere and viewed on all kinds of different devices. And, of course, anyone can participate in our community by commenting on videos, rating them, and sharing them with friends.

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!
