Youtube API
We have previously already written about APIs in our Mashup Article and the Opensocial Project but this one is of particular interest for media and content websites. Google has just published that it has set up a YouTube API along with developer docs on how to adapt and use the API. Now developers can customise and develop their own YouTube which many developers and bloggers have been waiting for I think! These are the features as shown on the page of the YouTube APIs and Tools:
Create a web front end to let people view videos about specific topics.
Create a desktop application or plugin that plays videos in a customised environment.
Add related, dynamic video content to your website or application.
Customise the Flash player to fit the look and feel of your site, device or application
Add feeds of videos from each of YouTube’s 18 international domains
