Since version 2 (v2) of the Youtube API has been depreciated, the following method no longer works for checking if a video id is actually valid:
obtaining the results from:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/videoID
QUESTION:
What alternative method is there to validate a video id?
MY RESEARCH:
I'm not sure if what I have found is related or not, but the youtube api documentation gives some feedback on the following method:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos
I'm not sure how to use it and am currently killing neurons and drinking coffee shots trying to deduce if this is in fact an alternative method of validating if a video id is legit or not, and in the case that it were, how to use it.
