YouTube has released new APIs allowing people to do a lot more with the site. While this means nothing, currently, for me and anyone else whose technical prowess is little more than using a blog WYSIWYG editor, what is done with the APIs should be worth looking out for.  According to the YouTube blog, the possibilities are endless with the new tools available.

 

  • Upload videos and video responses to YouTube
  • Add/Edit user and video metadata (titles, descriptions, ratings, comments, favorites, contacts, etc)
  • Fetch localized standard feeds (most viewed, top rated, etc.) for 18 international locales
  • Perform custom queries optimized for 18 international locales
  • Customize player UI and control video playback (pause, play, stop, etc.) through software

Spore, the highly anticipated game by ‘The Sims’ creator Will Wright will allow users to create their own creatures, import them into the game and upload video of their creatures directly to YouTube from within the game. [read more]

That alone is actually a pretty cool feature and that’s just the start. We’ll be sure to see a lot more interesting things down the line with the new APIs.
