Is it possible to use the YouTube API from a windows service application?

All the examples I have seen look like you can only use it from a web service application.

The machine I put the windows service on will have an internet connection.

Update: It will probably help if I get into specifics.

Inside a windows service, I want to monitor a particular folder on a server for new video files. Once a video is dropped into a folder I want to upload the video to a YouTube playlist.

Any direction would help.

Programming Language: C#

    Yes. It’s an API which is implemented as a set of RESTful web-services, which you can can consume from a Windows Service. Presumably, you are talking about the Data API, as the Player API would not make a lot of sense in an application with no user-interface!
