WWW::YouTube::Info - gain info on YouTube video by VIDEO_ID
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use WWW::YouTube::Info; # id taken from YouTube video URL my $id = 'foobar'; my $yt = WWW::YouTube::Info->new($id); my $info = $yt->get_info(); # hash reference holds values gained via https://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=foobar # $info->{title} # e.g.: Foo+bar+-+%27Foobar%27 # $info->{author} # e.g.: foobar # $info->{keywords} # e.g.: Foo%2Cbar%2CFoobar # $info->{length_seconds} # e.g.: 60 # $info->{fmt_map} # e.g.: 22%2F1280x720%2F9%2F0%2F115%2C35%2F854x480%2F9%2F0%2F115%2C34%2F640x360%2F9%2 .. # $info->{fmt_url_map} # e.g.: 22%7Chttps%3A%2F%2Fv14.lscache1.c.youtube.com%2Fvideoplayback%3Fip%3D131.0.0. .. # $info->{fmt_stream_map} # e.g.: 22%7Chttps%3A%2F%2Fv14.lscache1.c.youtube.com%2Fvideoplayback%3Fip%3D131.0.0. .. # .. # Remark: # You might want to check $info->{status} before further workout, # as some videos have copyright issues indicated, for instance, by # $info->{status} ne 'ok'.
I guess its pretty much self-explanatory ..
