- YouTube API
YouTube Application Programming Interface, or the YouTube API, allows developers to access video statistics and YouTube channels' data via two types of calls, REST andXML-RPC .In order to use Youtube's API, a developer must first acquire a unique Developer ID - it's an additional property that upon reception, is attached to the developer's YouTube account. The information that is available to developers is similar to the information that can be acquired by accessing YouTube's many RSS feeds.
As of
March 2006 , API calls from Flash have been disabled due to security concerns. [cite web | title = "First time using YouTubes APi" | url = http://groups.google.com/group/youtube-api-newbies/msg/5d4e46696ef39014 | accessdate = 2007-03-17]Example Applications
