How to get the description of a video on YouTube by url?

Question

YouTube

Now I do this (I will reduce it to a minimum):

$id = /*id ролика*/;
$content = file_get_contents("http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=$id");
parse_str($content, $ytarr);
print_r($ytarr);

So I get a huge amount of information, but I don’t get the description of the video. How can I do that?

Answer 1

go to https://console.developers.google.com , activate the tube API and create an API key for it.
and then everything is simple:

$id = /*id ролика*/;
$url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=$id&key=ваш-ключ";
$json = file_get_contents($url);
print_r(json_decode($json));

this will give output like this:
