HTML clipboardHow to embed video
searh in web application:
Google has launched Ajax API
for different purposes "video search" is one of them.
Many users' gets confused all about it many times how to get google key, how to
embed video search in web application.
So here I am explaining how to use video search in web application.
Getting Google Search API Key:
First you have to get the
google search API key for this
http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/signup.html
Visit here and fill the
information and then use of gmail account to get the API key
Note: You can get a gmail account free
The key page will look like
this.
How to use this
code:
Now copy the whole HTML code:
This is the code for "WebSearch", Video Search and Blog Search but you have to
use only the "Video Search" For this the next step. "Video Search"
If you listen about Google
Code (presented by Google)
You have to take the video search control from there.
Which is like this.
Just replace the above
code with this:
google.load('search',
'1');
function OnLoad() {
// create a search control
var
searchControl = new
google.search.SearchControl();
// So the results are expanded by default
options = new
google.search.SearcherOptions();
options.setExpandMode(google.search.SearchControl.EXPAND_MODE_OPEN);
// Create a video searcher and add it
to the control
searchControl.addSearcher(new
google.search.VideoSearch(), options);
Then the whole
code will look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>My
Google AJAX Search API Application</title>
<script

<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
google.load('search',
'1');
function OnLoad() {
// create a search control
var searchControl =
new google.search.SearchControl();
// So the results are expanded by default
options = new
google.search.SearcherOptions();
options.setExpandMode(google.search.SearchControl.EXPAND_MODE_OPEN); // Create a video searcher and add
it to the control
searchControl.addSearcher(new
google.search.VideoSearch(), options);
// Draw the control onto the page
searchControl.draw(document.getElementById("searchcontrol"));
// Search for a YouTube channel
searchControl.execute("ytchannel:NBA");
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="searchcontrol">Loading...</div>
</body>
</html>
The final output will look like this:
Formating the Output: If you want to format the
output then you can use the style tag.
Just use this code after
closing the </script> tag.
<style type="text/css">
body
{
font-family:Arial Rounded MT Bold;
background-color:Silver;
}
#searchcontrol
{
background-color:ActiveBorder;
width:50%;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
text-align:left;
}
<style/>
The output will look like this
