lita-youtube-me

Replies with a video that matches a string. Optionally detects YouTube URLs and returns title, duration, etc.

Add lita-youtube to your Lita instance's Gemfile:

gem "lita-youtube-me"

This plugin requires an API key for the YouTube Data API (v3).

Lita.configure do |config|
  config.handlers.youtube_me.api_key = "FooBarBazLuhrmann"
end

• video_info (boolean) - When set to true, Lita will return additional information (title, duration, etc.) about the video. Default: false
• detect_urls (boolean) - When set to true, Lita will return additional information about any YouTube URLs it detects. Default: false
• top_result (boolean) - When set to true, Lita will return the top result in response to a video search. Default: false, which returns a random result selected from the top 15.

Lita.configure do |config|
  config.handlers.youtube_me.video_info = true
  config.handlers.youtube_me.detect_urls = true
  config.handlers.youtube_me.top_result = true
end

The following are all equivalent ways of asking Lita to search for a video about "soccer":

@bot: youtube me soccer
@bot: youtube soccer
@bot: yt me soccer
@bot: yt soccer

Lita's default response will be a YouTube URL:

<bot> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZJldG6bP1s

Enabling the config variable video_info will add another line to Lita's response:

<bot> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZJldG6bP1s

Enabling detect_urls will make Lita return information about any YouTube URLs it detects:
