Everybody loves videos. So, I thought I would to briefly mention the Truveo Video Search API. I have only worked with this API a few times. But so far, I like it. Truveo has built, and documented, an XML API, an AJAX API, a Flash API and for all those Ruby on Rails lovers – a Ruby API. The Ruby API isn’t tied to rails, so if you are working in pure Ruby, you can also enjoy it.
The documentation is adequate. But you do need an appkey to get started, which you can get here. Check out this sample search for bloodworms (a little reference from my SEO article) in the XML API.
Originally, we were using Truveo to power the AOL Music Video pages, but have since switched over to an internal XML API for the music site. Look for a few samples from me using this API in the near future, and a final video search and playback site in early November.
