I need to get all video ID's in a channel.
I've tried as much as I could on the google APIs explorer but I couldn't find out what I want.
So is it possible to get all videos in a channel?
If yes, how could I do it?
look at the url for the video it should look something like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkyA9wkAazE
the video id can be found at the end of the url. in the above example that is
JkyA9wkAazE

Looking for a way to obtain a thumbnail image of a Vimeo video WITHOUT (I repeat, WITHOUT) having to do a REST request to the Vimeo API?
(Unfortunately, the following "answer" is over 10 years old and does NOT answer this question: Get img thumbnails from Vimeo?)
Nearly all video providers allow you to obtain a thumbnail image of a video by simply supplying the video ID within a specific URL path (i.e.: YouTube, Matterport, iGuide, etc.)
To be clear - I am NOT looking for a "solution" that uses Javascript or requires a request to be made to the Vimeo API - just a specific URL that can return a thumbnail given a Vimeo video ID.
I also emailed Vimeo API support, and below is the "official" response I received from their support group:
Hi there,
Thanks for your interest in the Vimeo API! Full documentation of the
Vimeo API can be found on our Developer Site:
https://developer.vimeo.com/api/guides/start
Sorry, but it's not possible to get a video's thumbnail links without
first making a request to one of our APIs (oEmbed or our full-fledged
REST API). You can learn about these APIs here:
https://developer.vimeo.com/api/oembed/videos
https://developer.vimeo.com/api/guides/start
So - no way to get a thumbnail of a Vimeo video without making a REST request. Too bad.
Update: 2-Oct-2021
See #Parthiban post - Vimeo has updated their service / documentation:
https://developer.vimeo.com/api/oembed/videos
You can use the Vimeo oEmbed method, which gives a JSON response with the video's basic meta-information including thumbnails. Which doesn't require an authentication method like Vimeo API.
More details in the official documentation here: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/oembed/videos
Check out https://vumbnail.com/
You can simply pass in the id of the video in the url and it will respond with the thumbnail image.

You can also request certain sizes as per the documentation. This appears to be made by a third party so I can't say whether it is well supported and reliable but it appears to do what it claims to do as of the time that I'm writing this answer. Best of luck.
I need to embed a youtube video into my site but I need to allow certain people to be able to change the video that is shown without them going into code, How would I do this?
Another thing that could help is how could I automatically embed someones latest video onto the site.
If anyone can answer any of these thank you.
For adding a YouTube video without going into the code you could look at Google Tag Manager or a similar service. For embedding the latest video you might need to look at a YouTube API or similar to pull in the latest videos url.
Anyone know how to add the full upload feed from YouTube to a website using html coding??? I've been able to get single videos, but haven't found anything regarding all videos.
if you want to use the Youtube Data API you can retrieve all videos on a specific channel.
If you just wanted to embed a full upload feed from a channel, as this question states you can use the channel embed code, for example:
<script src="http://www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube.xml&up_channel=YourChannelName&synd=open&w=320&h=390&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>
I would like to experiment with embedding videos in HTML5 - and to check some applications with different content.
Where can I find a good collection of online videos with corresponding metadata? A collection with a decent query/search/filter API would be great!
Update: To test an app, I would need at least 50 movies playable vie a <video> tag, with supplied title, atrist and tags. A downloadable library of short movies with an index file is good enough as well.
What about the TEDTalks RSSs?
Standard video feed of TEDTalks to use as a podcast. http://feeds.feedburner.com/TEDTalks_video
RSS feed in high resolution. http://feeds.feedburner.com/TedtalksHD
I think the RSS should be enough but If you need more than that you can also try their API: http://developer.ted.com/API_Docs
DailyMotion has an API: http://www.dailymotion.com/doc/api/graph-api.html
Vimeo has APIs: http://developer.vimeo.com/apis
both of them might take some fiddling to get the actual video (eg for Vimeo http://player.vimeo.com/external/.sd.mp4?s=) but if the metadata collection is important both of these will help and you can just play the Sintel video
I am looking to be able to pause a vimeo video from a separate click event.
here is an example of what i am trying to do.
http://jsfiddle.net/isimpledesign/QsfF7/7/
I am trying to pause the video via the link.
Can anyone set me in the right direction pls.
Update:
Thank you. Squeeks is right, you just need to go over to github get the files, froogaloop.js
sorted
working example here
http://isimplesnippets.com/isimplesnippets/vimeo-api/
this jsfiddle shows playing/pausing vimeo with multiple videos using the froogaloop api. so if you start one video all other videos are stopping to play: http://jsfiddle.net/nerdess/D5fD4/3/
i think that is what you were asking for!
You need to use the froogaloop library in order to interact with the player as you're using the iframe embedding and not the older, flash specific. They have example code on github
and documentation for their API available.
