Scrape YouTube descriptions for marketplace URLs - web-scraping

I am trying to scrape Youtube descriptions to find merchandise marketplace links (i.e. teespring). I cannot find a usable function in the Youtube Data API. Any suggestions?

All the listed methods are in Youtube Reference list and there are no mentions of marketplace URL actions.

Products RSS feed Google Integration with Sitefinity CMS

Need to implement an RSS feed to connect to Google from Sitefinity to publish all of the products listed on the site under the e-commerce section.
Couple of questions,
1.Looking at alternative publishing options, I can't select products as content. (Blogs, News, etc are available) is there a way to make products available?
2.Is this functionality available out of the box or will I need to write custom code to make it work?
No, this is not available out of the box.
What you need to do is create a custom widget and in it iterate through all products and output the correct format the google expects.

Filter youtube search results for a specific keyword based on the video categories

I have implemented a code to search youtube videos matching to a particular keyword and show those videos on my site using the youtube-v3-api .
I want to filter out those videos on the basis of categories which are mentioned by youtube already. I am coding in asp.net and have successfully got the youtube videos on my site, just want to know how to filter those search results on the basis of categories.
Normally you can specify a categoryId when performing a YouTube API search, but it only accepts one categoryId. It sounds like you want to exclude multiple categories from the video results.
Well, if you've already used videos:list to get YouTube videos, the snippet returned contains the categoryId for each video.
You can then make a request to get all YouTube VideoCategories and filter out the categoryIds from the categories you don't want.

Using OpenGraph to pull content onto my site?

So a company I'm working with gets mentioned in the media from time to time (BBC & other big news sites).
Is anyone aware of fees / licenses we will need to use the content that BBC etc provides using OpenGraph and post that content on our site?
So essentially we want a little card on our site with the page title, OG image, URL and possibly the description, when the user clicks this it will open the original page/link on the original source site.
I can't see too much info out there other than sharing on facebook, not using OpenGraph on our site.
Can anyone share some knowledge? Cheers!
If I get your question correctly, you want to retrieve posts on the BBC site, scrape the information and show in your own site, right?
Does the site of BBC, and possible others, provide a feed where you can subscribe to? In that case, you could monitor that feed for any mentions of your company.
Alternatively, you can use one of Facebook's partners that use the Keyword Insights API. There you can set up monitoring for your company name and integrate with their API.

Display Google Analytics data for downloads on a Drupal site

I have a Drupal website where people can download books. I want to be able to display Google analytics statistics showing how many people have downloaded a book on the book page. I thought I could have a block displaying on each book page to show the number of downloads. Each book can be downloaded in three different formats, so there would be a figure for each format. Does anyone know how I can do this?
I did have a look at the Google Analytics Counter module but this looks like it displays page views and not file downloads.
We have done this for other static sites. Have you had a look at this article from Google

For #2, you will have to create an RSS feed thru a generic handler(.ashx file), and link the icon to it.
Or you can use a free service such as addthis.com which allows your users to post your article to twitter, facebook, google, rss feeds, and other mediums.
