youtube-g version 0.4.1 has been released!

- [http://rubyforge.org/projects/youtube-g/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/youtube-g/)

youtube-g is a pure Ruby client for the YouTube GData API. It provides  
an easy  
way to access the latest YouTube video search results from your own  
programs.  
In comparison with the earlier Youtube search interfaces, this new API  
and  
library offers much-improved flexibility around executing complex search  
queries to obtain well-targeted video search results.

More detail on the underlying source Google-provided API is available  
at:

> **[YouTube  |  Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/youtube/?csw=1)**
>
> Add YouTube functionality to your sites and apps.

## FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

- Aims to be in parity with Google’s YouTube GData API. Core  
functionality  
is currently present – work is in progress to fill in the rest.

## SYNOPSIS:

Create a client:

require ‘youtube\_g’  
client = YouTubeG::Client.new

Basic queries:

client.videos\_by(:query =\> “penguin”)  
client.videos\_by(:tags =\> [‘tiger’, ‘leopard’])  
client.videos\_by(:categories =\> [:news, :sports])  
client.videos\_by(:categories =\> [:news, :sports], :tags =\>  
[‘soccer’, ‘football’])  
client.videos\_by(:user =\> ‘liz’)

Standard feeds:

client.videos\_by(:most\_viewed)  
client.videos\_by(:top\_rated, :time =\> :today)

Advanced queries (with boolean operators OR (either), AND (include),  
NOT (exclude)):

client.videos\_by(:categories =\> { :either =\> [:news, :sports],  
:exclude =\> [:comedy] }, :tags =\> { :include =\> [‘football’], :exclude  
=\> [‘soccer’] })

Changes:

## 0.4.1 / 2008-02-11

- Added 3GPP video format [shane]
- Fixed tests [shane]

## 0.4.0 / 2007-12-18

I just released it so it probably needs some time to propagate through  
the gem mirrors.
