[YouTube-API] Re: ratings data via api

Hi, I know this has been a while, but im back at this again.

I dont see any examples in my feeds where these values come through, for example:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?orderby=published&author=saintbluesguitar

has lots of ratings, but non have numLikes or numDislikes.

Am I doing something wrong?

thanks
Joel

Hello Joel,

 Yes, that's pretty much the mapping if you're still thinking in terms
of numbers. The production YouTube API supports likes/dislikes
natively now, too:

  http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html#youtube_data_api_tag_yt:rating

Disregard the information about that tag only being available in the
staging environment. The documentation team is preparing to push out
an update that reflects the current production status.

Cheers,
