I am using YouTube PHP API to retrieve a feed that searches for the exact term "super bowl commercials".
However, I sometimes get irrelevant videos in the feed.
$searchTerms stores the search query.
$searchTerms2 = str_replace(" ","+",$searchTerms);
$searchTerms2 = '"' . $searchTerms2 . '"';
$query->setVideoQuery($searchTerms2);
Does any one know of a solution to this issue?
From reference: To search for an exact phrase, enclose the phrase in quotation marks. For example, to search for videos matching the phrase "spy plane", set the q parameter to %22spy+plane%22.
So you urlencode your quotation marks?
