API Usage
If you want to look up video metadata using an API, you can use the ID lookup endpoint:
GET /api/id/{id}
It will return a list of all available snapshots for a given ID and basic info about the crawl sources. Sample output:
{
"count": 1,
"crawl_sources": [
{
"credits": "",
"description": "",
...
"taken_on_startdate": "2012-01-01",
"upload_date_uncertainty": null,
"url": ""
}
],
"results": [
{
"snapshots": [
{
"category_id": null,
"comment_count": null,
"crawl_source_id": 2,
"description": null,
"duration": 580,
"favorite_count": 36,
"fetched_at": null,
"rates": 20,
"rating": 5,
"snapshot_id": 10456196,
"title": "Woob - Wuub",
"uploaded_at": "2009-01-21T03:32:23",
"uploader_id": null,
"uploader_name": null,
"view_count": 3040
},
{
"category_id": null,
"comment_count": null,
"crawl_source_id": 6,
"description": "Artist: WoobTitle: WuubAlbum: EM:T 1194Label: EM:TYear: 1994Note: artwork by The Designer's Republic",
"duration": 580,
...
}
],
"youtube_id": "Q2g4nqi6Xug"
}
],
"status_code": 200
}
If there are no results, the API will return a 404 error code.
