A PHP function to get youtube video title by just passing the video ID

youtube-title.php

<?php

function youtube_title(string $id) {
  // $id = 'YOUTUBE_ID';
  $API_KEY   = "YOUR-API-KEY";
  $videoList = @json_decode(@file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id={$id}&key={$API_KEY}"));
  // despite @ suppress, it will be false if it fails
  if ($videoTitle) {
    // look for that title tag and get the insides
    preg_match("/<title>(.+?)<\/title>/is", $videoTitle, $titleOfVideo);
    return $titleOfVideo[1];
  } else {
    return false;
  }
  // usage:
  // $item = youtube_title('zgNJnBKMRNw');
}

V3 API:

function youtube_title($id) {
// $id = 'YOUTUBE_ID';
// returns a single line of JSON that contains the video title. Not a giant request.
$videoTitle = file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=".$id."&key=YOUR_API_KEY&fields=items(id,snippet(title),statistics)&part=snippet,statistics");
// despite @ suppress, it will be false if it fails
if ($videoTitle) {
$json = json_decode($videoTitle, true);

return $json['items'][0]['snippet']['title'];
} else {
return false;
}
}

thanks fue de gran ayuda es muy facil

It changed:

function youtube_title($id)
{
    $API_KEY   = "YOUR-API-KEY";
    $videoList = json_decode(file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id={$id}&key={$API_KEY}"));

    //Image
    //$videoList->items[0]->snippet->thumbnails->default;

    //Title
    // $videoList->items[0]->snippet->title;
}
