Get the amount of likes/dislikes for a YouTube video via API?

Question

How do I get the amount of likes/dislikes for a YouTube video via YouTube API?

Answer 1

You can query the YouTube API like this:

<?php

$curlhandle = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curlhandle, CURLOPT_URL, "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&alt=jsonc&q=computers&max-results=10&orderby=viewCount");
curl_setopt($curlhandle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$response = curl_exec($curlhandle);
curl_close($curlhandle);

$json = json_decode($response);


foreach ($json->data->items as $result)
{

        echo '<div class="video"><a href="'.$result->player->default.'" target="_blank">';
        echo '<img src="'.$result->thumbnail->hqDefault.'">';
        echo ' <div class="title"> '.$result->title.'</div><div class="rating">'.$result->likeCount.'</div></a></div>';
        //print_r($result);

}

?>
