How can I get the date when a video was uploaded via the Youtube API?
I'm confused as to where I can find the date a youtube video was uploaded. I've been using the following two functions:
$videoEntry->getUpdated()->getText();
$videoEntry->getVideoRecorded()
The first is when the video was last updated, and I'm not so sure that is the same as when it was uploaded. The "video recorded" is not always present. I assume its taken from camera metadata.
I need the date it was uploaded to the youtube website. Thanks.
From the YouTube API Reference Guide.
"The <yt:uploaded> tag specifies the time that a playlist entry was originally uploaded to YouTube."
If you just browse the feed file for a particular video, such as http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bTL5bErRk-g, you can see the uploaded date in the "published" tag, near the top:
<entry>
<id>http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bTL5bErRk-g</id>
<published>2009-08-02T13:59:54.000Z</published>
<updated>2009-10-29T11:20:11.000Z</updated>
...
Whatever 'published' technically means to YouTube, that's my video, and I can confirm that that's when I uploaded it.
