I'm playing now with the Youtube API and I began a small project (for fun).



The problem Is that I cant find the way to get Title of a video from the Id. (example: ylLzyHk54Z0)



I have looked in the DATA and PLAYER api documentation and I cannot find it.



If someone knows how to do this or if someone could help me find the way to do this, please help me.



NOTE: I'm using javascript. It will be a web app.



EDIT: I have got an Idea. Maybe using a Regular expresion to parse out the title from the page title. I'm working on this.

Not entirely possible in javascript since you are trying to get a document from a different domain. If you are happy to throw in a bit of php try this. Tested ok:



<?

    $vidID = $_POST['vidID'];

    $url = http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/. $vidID;

    $doc = new DOMDocument;

    $doc->load($url);

    $title = $doc->getElementsByTagName(title)->item(0)->nodeValue;

?>



<html>

    <head>

        <title>Get Video Name</title>

    </head>

    <body>

        <form action=test.php method=post>

            <input type=text value=ID Here name=vidID />

            <input type=submit value=Get Name />

        </form>

        <div id=page>URL: [<?= $url ?>]</div>

        <div id=title>Title: [<?= $title ?>]</div>

    </body>

</html>
