I am using gdata api to retrieve information about specific youtube videos using something like this below:
Uri videoEntryUrl = new Uri("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/ADos_xW4_J0?format=5");
Video video = request.Retrieve<Video>(videoEntryUrl);
However, I wonder if there is a way to specify that I am only interested in certain fields of the video rather than getting the complete video feed. For example, say I am only interested in commentcount AND viewcount of the video. However, the code above will return the entire Video class which seems I may be consuming more bandwidth than needed.
Looking for something like this?
