YouTube API Start and Stop Primer Tutorial
YouTube is a very well known, and the most popular video watching website on the “net”.
It is no surprise that programmers and developers everywhere are interested in interfacing to it. We interface to it today, just purely with client side HTML and Javascript and the wonderful YouTube API for Iframe embedded videos reference website, the information for which we got directed to via this useful link … so thanks, everybody.
Using the YouTube API means you’ve got access to information, such as …
- the total length of the video clip
- the accumulated length you have watched
… without which it is hard to do what we want to do today. And that is simply to ask you for …
- YouTube video identifier
- how many seconds do you want to use to start and stop your way through the viewing … -1 here let’s you view the whole video in one session
This exercise was helped enormously by the great example code at the YouTube API for Iframe embedded videos reference website.
Here’s the HTML and Javascript code you could call stop_start_youtube.html with its live run link, as well.
