Google’s YouTube.com APIType: Video Search and Sharing
Description: “Our new GData API allows you to do all the things you could with the old API (search through videos, get user information, and list playlists). On top of that, we have added more flexibility with filtering, querying, and alternative outputs (e.g. if you want output in JSON). Brand new feeds include video responses, full comments list, and related videos. Additionally, the Google data client libraries are now at your disposal. The Java client library even has YouTube-specific extensions, and you can check out the Java developer guide for sample code and explanations.” - From Youtube
