Replacement for gdata - php

Question

I have a URL like this, its contained in a php file to find stats about a video.
How should i be doing these now since gdata no longer works? I couldn't find it in the API!
('http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007'); // get node for viewer statistics
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/?q=
Im not quite sure what to do
-OLD CODE-
This is where my issue lies. I need to figure out how this is written with the new API,
$media = $entry->children('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/'); // get nodes in media: namespace for media information
$attrs = $media->group->player->attributes(); // get video player URL
$watch = $attrs['url'];
$attrs = $media->group->thumbnail[0]->attributes(); // get video thumbnail
$thumbnail = $attrs['url'];
$yt = $media->children('http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007'); // get <yt:duration> node for video length
$attrs = $yt->duration->attributes();
$length = $attrs['seconds'];
$yt = $entry->children('http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007'); // get <yt:stats> node for viewer statistics
$attrs = $yt->statistics->attributes();
$viewCount = $attrs['viewCount'];
$gd = $entry->children('http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'); // get <gd:rating> node for video ratings
if ($gd->rating) {
$attrs = $gd->rating->attributes();
$rating = $attrs['average'];
}else{$rating = 0;}
$vid = preg_replace ('/&feature=youtube_gdata_player/','',$watch); // get video id
$vid = substr($vid, -11);
-OLD CODE WITH THE NEW API FORMAT FOR ONE PART-
<?php
error_reporting(0);

$query = $_POST['terms'];

$searchurl = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?q=".$query."&part=snippet&key=MYAPIKEYISHERE&max-results=50&format=5";
$feedURL = $searchurl; // set feed URL
$sxml = simplexml_load_file($feedURL); // read feed into SimpleXML object
$i = 0;
$i++;
$sn = 1;
if (empty($query)){
print '<tr><td><div style="margin:auto;padding-top:155px;width:300px;height:120px;text-align:center;"><img src="images/logo.png" height="100"></div></td></tr>';
}

How would I go about making this work again?

Answer 1

For video statistics you can request
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=statistics&id={VIDEO_ID}&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
For more info about what kind of data you can get from a video, read this.
You can even try this endpoint using this.

Answer 2

Yes, that is because you need to use their official API now and obtain your developer key(its free) and download the php Google service libraries.
https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client
This is an example how you get info from a video in PHP
//You need to download these libraries
require_once 'Google/Client.php';
require_once 'Google/Service/YouTube.php';
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setDeveloperKey("YOURDEVELOPERKEYHERE");
$redirect = filter_var('http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],FILTER_SANITIZE_URL);
$client->setRedirectUri($redirect);
// YouTube object used to make all API requests.
$youtube = new Google_Service_Youtube($client);
$videoIds = "a0nii7mxpFc"; //comma separated if > 1 video
$listResponse = $youtube->videos->listVideos("id,snippet,contentDetails,statistics",array('id' => $videoIds,'maxResults'=>50));
$videoList = $listResponse['items'];
foreach ($videoList as $key => $value){
$video = $videoList[$key];
//Here are the stats
echo $video['statistics']['likeCount'];
echo $video['statistics']['dislikeCount'];
}
