I want to be able to display a certain youtube channel's videos and allow the user to select one of their videos to watch. Do I have to do this manually (parse the source code of the webpage to get each individual video link and then display them) or can I use the youtube api?
If anyone has done this, example code or tutorials would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
you can do that without parse any webpage, the correct way is using the youtube api
from a Youtube video get the Id http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc
(this is the mobile youtube version http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=opZ69P-0Jbc)
so you can get the data scheme http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/opZ69P-0Jbc
and you can get for example the related videos http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/opZ69P-0Jbc/related
heres the youtube api reference http://code.google.com/intl/en-US/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html
