Test drive the YouTube APIs
Friday, May 9, 2014
Since the launch of the new
YouTube for Developers site
, you’ve been able to access API resources, see the showcase apps and hear the stories of successful YouTube Developers. With today’s addition of
four new demos
, you’ll be able to play with the APIs and find use cases you can easily adapt into your own application.
Upload Widget
The Upload Widget demo uses the
YouTube Data API
,
resumable uploads
,
YouTube Upload Widget
, and the
YouTube iFrame Player API
. Inspired by
globalfeed.org
, it lets visitors upload videos in which they answer a few questions. On the first page, users can also see answers uploaded by others.

Topic Explorer
Via the
Freebase API
and the
YouTube Data API
, the Topic Explorer helps visitors find videos related to queries using the
Google Knowledge Graph
. After the initial query search on Freebase, users can select the exact entity on the Google Knowledge Graph and find videos related to the entity rather than to the simple search term. They can then watch these videos in a player that uses the
YouTube iFrame API
.
Topic Explorer
Analytics
By using the
YouTube Analytics API
, viewers can see the geographic distribution of viewers for Google Developer videos during Google I/O 2013. They can slide through different dates to change the statistics. They can also hover over continents to find the exact viewcounts and the most popular videos for that continent for the selected date.

Live Widget
With the power of the
YouTube Live Streaming API
and the
YouTube Data API
, visitors can see the most popular YouTube live streams right now. They can click the titles of streams to watch them in a player, which uses the
YouTube iFrame API
, or simply click one of the empty time slots in the last row to schedule their own broadcasts in the calendar.

YouTube for Developers
