How can I get Youtube viewCount by using fetch_feed? [closed]

Question

I want to show the view count of my Youtube videos in my widget. I fetch Youtube feed by using the built-in Wordpress function fetch_feed. Everything worked OK but I got a problem when tried to get the view count of videos.

Could anyone tell me how can I get Youtube viewCount by using fetch_feed?

Answer 1

The Short answer is:

// get <yt:stats> node for viewer statistics
$yt = $entry->children('http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007');
$attrs = $yt->statistics->attributes();
$viewCount = $attrs['viewCount']; 

A long example using a page i built to retrieve the data
of a playlist can be found here: http://pastebin.com/9xxcwL13

The code in the pastebin is a response to a form so you might
need to taylor it to your needs...

Hope this helps
