Freshness of a YouTube API channel playlist feed?

I am writing an application to read the updates happening in khan academy youtube playlists, by parsing their feeds, but the feed is not upto date

According to this feed url, the last update was on Aug,2012, how to get the latest feed?

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/khanacademy/playlists?v=2

Please tell me if there is anyway to get a new feed

Reg,

Karthi

Solution

  • The youtube method or organizing videos seems like something Khan academy has abandoned at some point in favor or organizing the lists separately. That is why newer videos don't appear in previous lists you would think they would. They now have a JSON returning RESTful API. For example to see the playlists visit this. There is a wiki entry explaining more on how to consume these lists and example client code is available on their github channel for a deeper direct use or code dive to emulate in your code.
