php-youtube-api
A basic PHP wrapper for the Youtube Data API v3 ( Non-OAuth ). Designed to let devs easily fetch public data (Video, Channel, Playlists info) from Youtube. No 3rd party dependancy. (except PHPUnit) The reason of returning the decoded JSON response directly is that you only need to read the Google API doc to use this library, instead of learning my set of API again (Keep it simple).
Well...actually some parameters are missing in this library, because I don't need them at this point, if you desire a particular feature please file an issue here :)
Currently I will not consider adding OAuth endpoints. (those required "authorized request" will not be supported)
Requirements
- PHP >=5.3
- CURL extension in PHP
Install
Run the following command in your command line shell in your php project
$ composer require sa3eid/php-youtube-api:^1.2Done.
You may also edit composer.json manually then perform composer update
"require": {
"sa3eid/php-youtube-api": "^1.2"
}
Example usage with pure PHP (with composer)
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$youtube = new Youtube\Youtube(array('key' => '* Your API key here *'));
$video = $youtube->getVideoInfo('rie-hPVJ7Sw');Example usage with Laravel 4/5
$video = Youtube::getVideoInfo(Input::get('vid', 'dQw4w9WgXcQ');Format of returned data
The returnd json is decoded as PHP objects (not Array). Please read the "Reference" section of the Official API doc.
