POWay to get more than 999 results from a Youtube video feed?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm writing right now a bachelorthesis about the Long Tail and want to get data to research it's behaviour. That's why I wanted to retrieve information on the viewcounts of youtube videos. The only problem is that one video feed to a specific topic like "most_popular" has only 999 entries. Is there a way to retrieve more data to a specific category or in general? I'll post my current code (it's a try to retrieve data for the category "sports") here:</p> <pre><code>public static void printVideoEntry(VideoEntry videoEntry, boolean detailed) { System.out.println("Title: " + videoEntry.getTitle().getPlainText()); if(videoEntry.isDraft()) { System.out.println("Video is not live"); YtPublicationState pubState = videoEntry.getPublicationState(); if(pubState.getState() == YtPublicationState.State.PROCESSING) { System.out.println("Video is still being processed."); } else if(pubState.getState() == YtPublicationState.State.REJECTED) { System.out.print("Video has been rejected because: "); System.out.println(pubState.getDescription()); System.out.print("For help visit: "); System.out.println(pubState.getHelpUrl()); } else if(pubState.getState() == YtPublicationState.State.FAILED) { System.out.print("Video failed uploading because: "); System.out.println(pubState.getDescription()); System.out.print("For help visit: "); System.out.println(pubState.getHelpUrl()); } } if(videoEntry.getEditLink() != null) { System.out.println("Video is editable by current user."); } if(detailed) { YtStatistics stats = videoEntry.getStatistics(); if(stats != null ) { System.out.println("View count: " + stats.getViewCount()); } System.out.println(); } } public static void printVideoFeed(VideoFeed videoFeed, boolean detailed) { for(VideoEntry videoEntry : videoFeed.getEntries() ) { printVideoEntry(videoEntry, detailed); } } public static void printEntireVideoFeed(YouTubeService service, VideoFeed videoFeed, boolean detailed) throws MalformedURLException, IOException, ServiceException { do { printVideoFeed(videoFeed, detailed); if(videoFeed.getNextLink() != null) { videoFeed = service.getFeed(new URL(videoFeed.getNextLink().getHref()), VideoFeed.class); } else { videoFeed = null; } } while(videoFeed != null); } public static void main(String[] args) { try { YouTubeService service = new YouTubeService("test"); YouTubeQuery query = new YouTubeQuery(new URL("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos")); query.setFullTextQuery("Sports"); VideoFeed videoFeed = service.query(query, VideoFeed.class); printEntireVideoFeed(service, videoFeed, false); } catch(AuthenticationException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch(MalformedURLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch(ServiceException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } </code></pre>
