  1. POYouTube API: How can I get the date/time in which a user marked video as favorite?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm accessing the feed of a user's favorite videos through the YouTube API. How can I get the date/time in which he marked each video as favorite?</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>Someone pointed out that the <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#Favorite_Videos" rel="nofollow">YouTube API documentation</a> says that the "Published" date on a user's favorite feed will have the time in which the user marked the video as favorite. But that seems to be false.</p> <p>For example, check out this video entry:</p> <p><a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/g2981r_MtHQ" rel="nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/g2981r_MtHQ</a></p> <p>It has a "published" date of <code>2008-03-19T21:09:09.000Z</code>.</p> <p>Now let's see the same video in the favorite feed of some user:</p> <p><a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/KeepWatchingTheSkies/favorites" rel="nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/KeepWatchingTheSkies/favorites</a></p> <p>It has a "published" date of <code>2008-03-19T21:09:09.000Z</code>. Identical.</p> <p>Here is a different way to get the favorites feed:</p> <p><a href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/KeepWatchingTheSkies/favorites" rel="nofollow">http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/users/KeepWatchingTheSkies/favorites</a></p> <p>And still we have a "published" date of <code>2008-03-19T21:09:09.000Z</code>.</p> <p>Assuming the user was not quick enough to favorite the video on the same millisecond it was published, what's written in the YouTube documentation is probably wrong, and this is <em>not</em> the time in which the user marked the video as favorite.</p> <hr> <p>So my question is: How can I get the time at which a user marked a video as favorite?</p>
