NOTE: Samples may be not completely displayed on the browser. Use the raw version of this gist to check them properly.
This gist describes the format we use to get information from our different sources. The samples are obtained using the words API, note that format may differ (and in fact it does in almost every case) when using the items API. eWebHunter consumes three services for each provider:
- words: To search for items related to keywords
- users: To follow particular users
- items: To describe specific items
For Youtube we use:
- for words: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?alt=json&q=[KEYWORD]
- for users: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/[USER]/uploads?alt=json
- for items: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/[KEY]?alt=json
