#Youtube API -v3 ####Notes I've used the Zend library to query Youtube results, but the library is convoluted, difficult to extend, and written for version 2. I created my own library specifically geared towards V3. It's much easier to extend, and ALOT faster and less expensive in retriving Titles and VideoIDS. This is for two reasons. I am using version 3, and I also make use of static variables. Thus, there is no need to continuously call the API on every "get" function until the "clear" function is called.

####References

• [Youtube API Documentation] (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list)
• [Example Rest Query] (https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=id&maxResults=10&order=rating&q=zelda&safeSearch=none&type=video&videoDuration=long&videoEmbeddable=true&key={YOUR_API_KEY})
• [Obtaining your Youtube API] (https://cloud.google.com/console)

####How To Use

• Be sure to require Youtube.php: require_once('Youtube/Youtube.php');
• Instantiate your object: $yt = new Youtube();
• Set your Youtube API key: $yt->key('{API_KEY}');
• Set your Youtube search parameters:

$yt->set()->
        q('Search Query')->
        maxResults(10)->
        order('relevance')->
        safeSearch('none')->
        videoDuration('any')->
        videoEmbeddable('true')->
        regionCode("US");

• Get the Youtube Title and Youtube Video IDs as arrays:

$id = $yt->get()->id();
$title = $yt->get()->title();

If for example, you set maxResults = 10, you will retrieve an output of 10 ids and 10 titles in a feed. $id and $title are arrays that hold this feed, and they can be iterated through in a for loop.

• Be sure you call the clear function after you are done retrieving results: $yt->clear();
• A shell example is provided in index.php
