EXT: youtubeapi¶

What does it do?¶

The Typo3 extension youtubeapi gives you the ability to list videos on the frontend. You can display videos of a certain category, tag, keywords or a channel. Also,

• search by tags, categories, keywords or certain channels in backend or frontend
• sort by date, relevance, views or rating.

I got inspired by Vikram Vaswani, who wrote an interesting article how to integrate the Google Youtube API.
