Hi there. I'd like to build this script in php that'll login into my 3 youtube accounts and fetch stats for me automatically.

However, I largely suspect the skeleton of this must be lying around somewhere in some php sharing site.

I bet someone's built a script similar to this, where all you have to do is substitute their website with youtube, and change the regex they use to parse the page and tell php what they want from the page.

But as I still don't fully understand php, I wouldn't know where to start making it myself.

What features would be involved in the script?

Of course, you don't need to have a youtube php script. I bet any script made by php that logs in into any site will be good enough for entry.

I would love your help on this, cheers.

Hmmmm... Youtube puts a lot of effort into stopping people using bots to log in (catcha's, sessions, etc, etc). Really I'm sure you can just find a public display of them.

@onething, have a look here Reference Guide: Data API Protocol - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code the Zend framework has a Gdata library that you can use to interact with the API.

They also put a lot of effort into developing an API so people can log in.

Good point, I do like that google is so open.

But apparently they are closing down google code.
