Announcing RSS feeds on Google Video (alpha)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #808 of 1245 |
Google is pleased to announce an alpha release of RSS feeds on Google
Video.

This is our first release of RSS feeds on Google Video and we're
contacting this group because we'd like to receive feedback on our
implementation. Specifically, we've implemented portions of the
MediaRSS extension and would like to make sure that what we've done is
standards-compliant. We are also interested in feedback regarding
additional information that would be useful to include in the feeds.

The RSS feature is not yet linked on our site, so to access it you'll
need to use the links below.

To access a feed of popular videos, go to
http://video.google.com/videofeed?type=popular&num=20&output=rss

To access a feed of any search results page, go to
http://video.google.com/videofeed?type=search&q=type%3Agpick&num=20&output=rss

In both cases, the "num" parameter can take any value from 1 to 100.

In the case of search, the "q" parameter is the search query, and so
can be anything you might see in a Google Video search URL.
Furthermore, any other parameters that are accepted by Google Video
search (e.g. for sort order) can be used here.

Please respond to this post with any feedback you may have.

Thanks for your help and for your interest in Google Video!

- The Google Video team
