To make this work you need to go to Google Developers Console, create a project, enable the YouTube Data API v3, and get a key in authentication key in credentials. This is pretty much the difficult part.
Now the easy part, so easy and keystroke economic to do this in PHP… just a couple of lines, and it’s done:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 | define("API_KEY", ""); // Fill in your Google API Keyfunction getYoutubeDurationV3($id) { $json = json_decode( file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos'. '?part=contentDetails&d='.$id.'&key='.API_KEY) ); $start = new DateTime('@0'); $youtube = new DateTime('@0'); $youtube->add(new DateInterval($json->items[0]->contentDetails->duration)); return $youtube->getTimestamp() - $start->getTimestamp();} |
