It’s a very simple and easy to configure jQuery snippet let’s make YouTube search engine site with jQuery.
First of all you need to create Google Project to get API Key.
Click here to create project.
Select Project.
Search YouTube data API Service and enable it.
Now Generate API Key.
Finaly we got API Key now move to Coding.
Include some files like jQuery, Bootstrap, FancyBox and some scripts.

HTML Search Form:
<div class="content">
<h2>YouTube Search Engine</h2>
<div id="custom-search-input">
<div class="input-group col-md-12">
<form id="search-form" name="search-form" onsubmit="return searchYoutube();">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search...." id="search" />
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-info btn-lg" type="submit" id="findNow">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i>
</button>
</span>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div id="results"></div>
<div id="buttons"></div>
</div>
Above HTML show search form and results and buttons div.
Now Add JavaScript Main code: ADD_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE replace your API Key with this.
var gapikey = 'ADD_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE';
$(function() {
// call fancybox pluggin
$(".fancyboxIframe").fancybox({
maxWidth : 900,
maxHeight : 600,
fitToView : false,
width : '90%',
height : '90%',
autoSize : false,
closeClick : false,
openEffect : 'none',
closeEffect : 'none',
iframe: {
scrolling : 'auto',
preload : true
}
});
$('#search-form').submit( function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
});
function searchYoutube() {
$('#results').html('<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-pulse fa-3x fa-fw"></i><span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>');
$('#buttons').html('');
// get form input
q = $('#search').val();
// run get request on API
$.get(
"https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search", {
part: 'snippet, id',
q: q,
type: 'video',
key: gapikey
}, function(data) {
var nextPageToken = data.nextPageToken;
var prevPageToken = data.prevPageToken;
// Log data
console.log(data);
$('#results').html(''); // hide loading
$.each(data.items, function(i, item) {
// Get Output
var output = getOutput(item);
// display results
$('#results').append(output);
});
var buttons = getButtons(prevPageToken, nextPageToken);
// Display buttons
$('#buttons').append(buttons);
});
}
// Next page function
function nextPage() {
var token = $('#next-button').data('token');
var q = $('#next-button').data('query');
// clear
$('#results').html('<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-pulse fa-3x fa-fw"></i><span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>');
$('#buttons').html('');
// get form input
q = $('#search').val();
// run get request on API
$.get(
"https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search", {
part: 'snippet, id',
q: q,
pageToken: token,
type: 'video',
key: gapikey
}, function(data) {
var nextPageToken = data.nextPageToken;
var prevPageToken = data.prevPageToken;
// Log data
console.log(data);
$('#results').html('');
$.each(data.items, function(i, item) {
// Get Output
var output = getOutput(item);
// display results
$('#results').append(output);
});
var buttons = getButtons(prevPageToken, nextPageToken);
// Display buttons
$('#buttons').append(buttons);
});
}
// Previous page function
function prevPage() {
var token = $('#prev-button').data('token');
var q = $('#prev-button').data('query');
// clear
$('#results').html('<i class="fa fa-spinner fa-pulse fa-3x fa-fw"></i><span class="sr-only">Loading...</span>');
$('#buttons').html('');
// get form input
q = $('#search').val(); // this probably shouldn't be created as a global
// run get request on API
$.get(
"https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search", {
part: 'snippet, id',
q: q,
pageToken: token,
type: 'video',
key: gapikey
}, function(data) {
var nextPageToken = data.nextPageToken;
var prevPageToken = data.prevPageToken;
// Log data
console.log(data);
$('#results').html('');
$.each(data.items, function(i, item) {
// Get Output
var output = getOutput(item);
// display results
$('#results').append(output);
});
var buttons = getButtons(prevPageToken, nextPageToken);
// Display buttons
$('#buttons').append(buttons);
});
}
// Build output
function getOutput(item) {
var videoID = item.id.videoId;
var title = item.snippet.title;
var description = item.snippet.description;
var thumb = item.snippet.thumbnails.high.url;
var channelTitle = item.snippet.channelTitle;
var videoDate = item.snippet.publishedAt;
// Build output string
var output = '<div class="col-md-6">' +
'<img src="' + thumb + '" class="img-responsive thumbnail" >' +
'</div>' +
'<div class="input-group col-md-6">' +
'<h3><a data-fancybox-type="iframe" class="fancyboxIframe" href="http://youtube.com/embed/' + videoID + '?rel=0">' + title + '</a></h3>' +
'<small>By <span class="channel">' + channelTitle + '</span> on ' + videoDate + '</small>' +
'<p>' + description + '</p>' +
'</div>' +
'<div class="clearfix"></div>';
return output;
}
function getButtons(prevPageToken, nextPageToken) {
if(!prevPageToken) {
var btnoutput = '<ul class="pagination">' +
'<li><a href="javascript:;" id="next-button" class="paging-button" data-token="' + nextPageToken + '" data-query="' + q + '"' +
'onclick = "nextPage();">Next »</a></li>' +
'</ul>';
} else {
var btnoutput = '<ul class="pagination">' +
'<li><a href="javascript:;" id="prev-button" class="paging-button" data-token="' + prevPageToken + '" data-query="' + q + '"' +
'onclick = "prevPage();">« Previous</a></li>' +
'<li><a href="javascript:;" id="next-button" class="paging-button" data-token="' + nextPageToken + '" data-query="' + q + '"' +
'onclick = "nextPage();">Next »</a></li>' +
'</ul>';
}
return btnoutput;
}
Above JavaScript do all works Request API’s and fetch data from YouTube ADD_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE replace your API Key.
searchYoutube() This function search all videos for given key
nextPage() Show next page of current result
prevPage() Show previous page of current result
getOutput(item) this function generate output data on given values.
getButtons(prevPageToken, nextPageToken) create buttons next and previous
Some CSS styles to make output looks good:
#custom-search-input{
padding: 3px;
border: solid 1px #E4E4E4;
border-radius: 6px;
background-color: #fff;
}
#custom-search-input input{
border: 0;
box-shadow: none;
width: 93%;
}
#custom-search-input button{
margin: 2px 0 0 0;
background: none;
box-shadow: none;
border: 0;
color: #666666;
padding: 0 8px 0 10px;
border-left: solid 1px #ccc;
}
#custom-search-input button:hover{
border: 0;
box-shadow: none;
border-left: solid 1px #ccc;
}
#custom-search-input .glyphicon-search{
font-size: 23px;
}
article {
margin: 10px 0;
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
padding: 4px 20px;
}
.video-wrapper {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
overflow: hidden;
z-index:-1;
}
.video-wrapper video {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
}
.content {
position: relative;
margin: 60px auto;
width: 80%;
max-width: 640px;
z-index: 1;
}
.clearfix{
border-bottom: 1px dotted #ccc;
margin-bottom: 5px;
}
This CSS will add some beautification to results and search form.
That’s all.
