I'm trying to obtain the "most liked" comments from a video of my choice (top 2 comments) for display, using the Youtube API. I'm using Zend Gdata package to obtain all of my vid-data. I can't seem to figure out if this function exists (in fact, I can't see how to see a rating of a comment at all...).
Thanks all for the help.
Currently there is no way to find the Top Comments on a video, the rating data for comments is not included in the YouTube API (2.0) at the moment.
References:
YouTube API 2.0 (current) and 3.0 (beta) both do not support the ability to request the rating associated with a comment.
Jeff Posnick who works on the YouTube API Developer Relations Team commented on August 24th, 2012:
Unfortunately, this is something that the engineering team confirmed will not be added to the API.
He gave no reason why and has closed the feature request as WontFix.
