Return video information in API for videos
Reported by Mark Paschal | 2011-03-12 11:58:11 UTC
The API does not yet return video specific information for videos. For example, in the friend shake, a video may appear as:
{
"description": null,
"height": 360,
"name": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JVpy0L5z7s",
"original_image_url": "http://mlkshk.com/r/XSM",
"permalink_page": "http://mlkshk.com/p/XSM",
"title": "Minamisanriku footage",
"user_id": 2,
"user_name": "andre",
"width": 480
}
Per #71, I might expect the same video specific information as would be present in an oEmbed video:
{
"description": null,
"height": 360,
"html": "<iframe class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text/html\" width=\"550\" height=\"339\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/6JVpy0L5z7s?rnd=0.374508428366&autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>",
"name": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JVpy0L5z7s",
"original_image_url": "http://mlkshk.com/r/XSM",
"permalink_page": "http://mlkshk.com/p/XSM",
"thumbnail_height": 480,
"thumbnail_url": "http://mlkshk.com/r/XSM",
"thumbnail_width": 640,
"title": "Minamisanriku footage",
"type": "video",
"user_id": 2,
"user_name": "andre",
"width": 480
}
(That is, type, html, and thumbnail_*.)

As with #71, it's fine to treat a video as a
linkobject here too:{ "description": null, "height": 360, "permalink_page": "http://mlkshk.com/p/XSM", "title": "Minamisanriku footage", "type": "link", "url": "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JVpy0L5z7s", "user_id": 2, "user_name": "andre", "width": 480 } -

- State changed from “new” to “open”
I'm rewriting this part right now so that /api/sharedfile/1 and /api/friends return either a single object or a list of objects that are identical. Poor planning on my part means that it was generating the sharedfile object twice depending if it was a single request or in a group.
We're rolling out Friend Finding in the next hour or so, so I'm going to help with that. This code I'm writing will be live tomorrow for sure.

Is the refactoring still left to do? The API includes "url" data in the friend shake already, so this could be complete.
