A basic PHP wrapper for the Youtube Data API v3 ( Non-OAuth ). Designed to let devs easily fetch public data (Video, Channel, Playlists info) from Youtube. No 3rd party dependancy (except PHPUnit). The reason for returning the decoded JSON response directly, is that you only need to read the Google API doc to use this library, instead of learning my set of API again (Keep it simple).

Well.. actually some parameters are missing in this library, because I don't need them at this point. If you desire a particular feature, please file an issue here :)

Currently I will not consider adding OAuth endpoints. (those required "authorized request" will not be supported)

This fork allows you to change the http function and comes with a provider for Laravel 7+ to use laravel's Http facade instead of curl for every request. Add \Madcoda\Youtube\YoutubeServiceProviderLaravel7::class, in config/app.php, inside providers array.

• PHP >=5.3
• CURL extension in PHP

Run the following command in your command line shell for your php project

$ composer require madcoda/php-youtube-api:^1.2

Done.

You may also edit composer.json manually then perform composer update

"require": {
    "madcoda/php-youtube-api": "^1.2"
}

Please read the wiki on how to use this library with PHP with composer, Laravel 4 and Laravel 5.

For the functions implemented in this library, please visit API Reference

require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$youtube = new Madcoda\Youtube\Youtube(array('key' => '* Your API key here *'));
$video = $youtube->getVideoInfo('rie-hPVJ7Sw');

$video = Youtube::getVideoInfo(Input::get('vid', 'dQw4w9WgXcQ');

The returned json is decoded as PHP objects (not Array). Please read the "Reference" section of the official API doc.

• YouTube Data API v3 Doc
• Obtain API key from Google API Console
