Using YouTube's GData API in Linux desktop applications
Last month, Google rolled out a new API for YouTube based on GData, making it possible for developers to use Google's existing client libraries to interact with the video service.
I tested the GData API by making a simple YouTube video viewing utility with Python and GTK. The utility has a text box in which the user can input a query. Videos matching the query are listed in a pane on the left-hand side, and clicking one of the videos in the list causes it to be displayed in the right-hand pane. The whole program is less than 50 lines of code.
The query method is where you will find the YouTube GData stuff.
