Ever wanted to get in on
the online video craze? Now's a good time! We've just added upload, write, and authentication
functionality to the YouTube Data API. Brand new player APIs and tools are
also now available.
That means that if, for example, you run a site
just for iguana enthusiasts, your users can upload videos of JubJub to their YouTube accounts,
post comments, create iguana playlists, and more, all without leaving your site. And with the
new player APIs and the new chromeless player, you can completely customize and skin the
YouTube embedded player to match the look and feel of your site (a green theme, buttons that
look like scales?).
So excited that you can't decide what to do next?
Read more details over at the YouTube API blog, watch
our engineers talk about the new features (on YouTube, where else?), check out the
docs, then join the forum.
You can also mark your calendars --
we'll be holding a YouTube / Picasa hackathon on March 27th at the Googleplex in Mountain
View. Stay tuned for more info.
