Developer API: Introduction

Getting Started

As a sneak preview of the ease-of-use of the API, request the following URL in your web browser to request your own user profile:

http://www.epiktube.xyz/api2_rest?method=epiktube.users.get_profile&user=EPIKTUBE_USER_NAME

You should see results like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ut_response status="ok">
        <user_profile>
                <first_name>EpikTube</first_name>
                <last_name>User</last_name>
                <about_me>EpikTube rocks!!</about_me>
                <age>30</age>
                <video_upload_count>7</video_upload_count>
                .... and more ....
        </user_profile>
</ut_response>

To maintain backward-compatibility, we have retained the older XML-based API. The older documentation can be found here.

Result Format

All API calls return an XML document. Successful API calls return an XML document of the following form:

<ut_response status="ok">
... response XML document ...
<ut_response>

Failed API calls return an XML document as follows:

<ut_response status="fail">
        <error>
                <code>7</code>
                <description>Missing dev_id parameter.</description>
        </error>
</ut_response>

The code element provides the machine-friendly error code that your application can use to determine the error type and handle it appropriately. The description element provides you with a human-readable description of the error.

API Call Interfaces

There are two styles of API calls that you can mix-and-match at your convenience, REST and XML-RPC
