[YouTube-API] Re: Related videos not containing description information

In my opinion, i'm not sure why description is not returned, may be
lack of demand for this, then resource exhausting can be reduced.
To me, there's two way to do it.
Firstly, collect all id, then make one more api request.

video_id = '29J2B2FIgt0'
video_list = ""
ll = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/videos/'+video_id+'/related?
v=2&client=ytapi-youtube-search&alt=json'
src = urllib2.urlopen(ll)
j=json.loads(src.read())
for f in j['feed']['entry']:
video_list=video_list+"<entry><id>https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/
videos/"+f['id']['$t'].split(':')[-1]+"</id></entry>"
print video_list
link='https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/batch?v=2'
params = "<feed xmlns=\'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\' xmlns:media=
\'http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/\' xmlns:batch=\'http://
schemas.google.com/gdata/batch\' xmlns:yt=\'http://gdata.youtube.com/
schemas/2007\'><batch:operation type=\'query\'/>"+video_list+"</feed>"
request = urllib2.Request(link,params)
request.add_header('X-gData-key', 'key=' + APIKEY)
request.add_header('User-agent', USERAGENT)
request.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/atom+xml')
sock = urllib2.urlopen(request)
response = sock.getcode()
content = sock.read()
print content
print sock.msg

Secondly, try this "http://www.youtube.com/results?
search=related&v=29J2B2FIgt0&page=1", brief description can be
extracted here.

May be got better way to do it, but i'm just a newbie of youtube api.
Thanks.
