Hi,
This is a feature request to you guys. Is it possible to include the youtube video ID in all the search APIs. Reason i am asking this is that once we do a search using any of your APIs, afterwards we again have to send another request at your server to get the youtube id which again takes extra time for the software to show up the trailer which again takes time to load.
So, if you observe the workflow...
- On software launch, First search will happen which will show up lets say "top Movies".
- Once the movies gets loaded then when user select any movie then we get the YouTube ID from another API of yours.
- Then video gets loaded.
What i am looking for is if there is any possibility i can skip step 2.
Regards

Hi riagarwa,
At this time I don't think I'll be adding any extra info to the featured list method but I'll think about this one. Another potential option for the future is a multi-get type query which isn't possible but could be in the future.
Cheers.

Hello Travis,
Any new thoughts on this part. A multi-get type query wouldn't take more time? It would be better to add a youtube id in the same table itself though i understand it is a huge risk although effort should be less.
Any other way you can think of that i can utilize to avoid 2 queries?

There's no other way right now. I haven't really thought about this though, and won't have time until maybe sometime later this year.
