Question

Youtube’s API documentation seems to me to be complete rubbish, I’ve spent hours reading through it and can’t seem to figure out how to display a simple thumbnail of a video even by just test-copy-and-pasting the code they give in a few examples. Could someone maybe explain or point me in the direction of an at least half decent tutorial of how to retrieve data from a video search query? Using JSON by the way

Answer 1

In the past I’ve disregarded the youtube api and just made my own thumbnails using imagemagick with node, but it doesn’t sound like you’re using node.
