php-youtube-api

A basic PHP wrapper for the Youtube Data API v3 ( Non-OAuth ). Designed to let devs easily fetch public data (Video, Channel, Playlists info) from Youtube. No 3rd party dependancy. (except PHPUnit) The reason of returning the decoded JSON response directly is that you only need to read the Google API doc to use this library, instead of learning my set of API again (Keep it simple).

Well…actually some parameters are missing in this library, because I don’t need them at this point, if you desire a particular feature please file an issue here :)

Currently I will not consider adding OAuth endpoints. (those required “authorized request” will not be supported)

Requirements

PHP >=5.3
CURL extension in PHP

Install

Edit your composer.json and add this to the require section

"madcoda/php-youtube-api": "1.*"
