[YouTube-API] Re: Video hosting service

Hi Jeffrey,

I went through Youtube API documentation. Is it possible to support the following APIs:

a) API for fetching the list of videos that are liked by an user. Also, there should be an option to mention the developer_tags category in this API. This will help me in solving my problem. Following is the link where we can see other developers who are in need of the same:

b) If we pass an user id parameter to any API that fetches video list, it should also return a state telling if the video has been liked buy the user passed as argument.

Thanks and Regards,

Deepa

Hi Jeffrey,

Thank you for the quick response.

I have adopted the methodology that is mentioned in the link. It works as of now. Now, I would like to add the following features to my app:

a) Like a Youtube video. I can support this using Youtube APIs

b) List all the videos that are liked by the user and are uploaded through my app. There is no Youtube API that can filter user-liked-video list by the app that has uploaded. 

So, I am planning to post the 'Like' to both Youtube and my database-server when user likes the video. I face the following problem in this method:

a) If user unlikes the video via Youtube web-interface or any other app, my app will not get any notification and hence my database server is not updated leaving Like state of a video as dangling state.

b) User can trace the Like-post URL to my database server and have it to increment the like count for his videos. I need to find some secure mechanism to do this whereas my company does not deal with web-security, login sessions etc.

Could you please help me?

Thanks and Regards,

Deepa
