Get Started
Playback the youtube video.
import YoutubeKit
final class VideoPlayerController: UIViewController {
private var player: YTSwiftyPlayer!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Create a new player
player = YTSwiftyPlayer(
frame: .zero,
playerVars: [
.playsInline(false),
.videoID("9AALILYu58w"),
.loopVideo(true),
.showRelatedVideo(false),
.autoplay(true)
])
view = player
player.delegate = self
// Load video player
let playerPath = Bundle(for: ViewController.self).path(forResource: "player", ofType: "html")!
let htmlString = try! String(contentsOfFile: playerPath, encoding: .utf8)
player.loadPlayerHTML(htmlString)
}
}
YTSwiftyPlayerDelegate
YTSwiftyPlayerDelegate
supports folowing delegate methods.
func playerReady(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer)
func player(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer, didUpdateCurrentTime currentTime: Double)
func player(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer, didChangeState state: YTSwiftyPlayerState)
func player(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer, didChangePlaybackRate playbackRate: Double)
func player(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer, didReceiveError error: YTSwiftyPlayerError)
func player(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer, didChangeQuality quality: YTSwiftyVideoQuality)
func apiDidChange(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer)
func youtubeIframeAPIReady(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer)
func youtubeIframeAPIFailedToLoad(_ player: YTSwiftyPlayer)
Call IFrame API during playback.
// Pause the video.
player.pauseVideo()
// Seek after 15 seconds.
player.seek(to: 15, allowSeekAhead: true)
// Set a mute.
player.mute()
// Load another video.
player.loadVideo(videoID: "abcde")
Get video information using YoutubeDataAPI
First, Get API key from Here.
Next, add this code in your AppDelegate.
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Set your API key here
YoutubeKit.shared.setAPIKey("Your API key")
return true
}
And then you can use YoutubeDataAPI
request like this.
// Get youtube chart ranking
let request = VideoListRequest(part: [.id, .statistics], filter: .chart)
// Send a request.
ApiSession.shared.send(request) { result in
switch result {
case .success(let response):
print(response)
case .failed(let error):
print(error)
}
}
Example of response here.
VideoList(items: [YoutubeKit.Video(etag: "\"A8kisgyDEbllhHF9ooXPFFrkc/nR6_A9oyIoLTJuucY_UXeasjYNU\"",
kind: "youtube#video",
id: "jeiDjeJgF0",
contentDetails: nil,
statistics: Optional(YoutubeKit.Statistics.VideoList(dislikeCount: "1631", likeCount: "60307", commentCount: Optional("8675"), favoriteCount: "0", viewCount: "1259046")),
snippet: nil,
status: nil),
etag: "\"J67fSnfblalhHF0foXPiFFrkc/TZGPJdE22-LilSv4-3VNoPw1cS4\"",
kind: "youtube#videoListResponse",
pageInfo: YoutubeKit.PageInfo(resultsPerPage: 5, totalResults: 200))
Fetch the next page (Pagination)
var nextPageToken: String?
...
// Send some request
ApiSession.shared.send(request) { [weak self] result in
switch result {
case .success(let response):
// Save nextPageToken
self?.nextPage = response.nextPageToken
case .failed(let error):
print(error)
}
}
...
// Set nextPageToken
let request = VideoListRequest(part: [.id], filter: .chart, nextPageToken: nextPageToken)
Authorization Request
If you want authorized request such as a getting your activity in Youtube, you set your access token before sending a request.
To use GoogleSignIn
, you can easily get your access token.
pod 'GoogleSignIn'
First, add this code in your AppDelegate.
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Set your access token for autheticate request
YoutubeKit.shared.setAccessToken("Your access token")
return true
}
And then you can use request requiring authorization, this is an example to get your Youtube activity.
// Get your Youtube activity
let request = ActivityListRequest(part: [.snippet], filter: .mine(true))
// Send a request.
ApiSession.shared.send(request) { result in
switch result {
case .success(let video):
print(video)
case .failed(let error):
print(error)
}
}
