So, exactly how DO you find youtube videos posted from a certain country?
You need to utilize the glorious Youtube API. The old one, in fact, but it works. This allows you to search for videos based on their latitude and longitude. Though, not all videos include that data, so it's not a perfect science. But you should find some results.
Here is an example url you would use:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?max-results=50&start-index=5&q=bible&location=37.42307,-122.08427&location-radius=200km
Basically take the base url: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?
Then add any filters you want to include. They are optional:
location=37.42307,-122.08427 (Here is where you put the latitude/longitude for the location you wish to search)
location-radius=200km (You can specify the km radius to search around the location)
max-results=50 (50 is the maximum amount. But you can make this lower if you want)
start-index=5 (What page do you want to start at?)
q=bible (What type of keywords do you want?)
By default it will search by keyword relevance. But you can add these to the url, to search by
something else:
&orderby=published (Search by published date)
&orderby=viewCount (Search by viewCount - Highest to Lowest)
Unfortunately these are always in Descending order, and can't be changed to Ascending. Which is stupid! But whatever.
How do you find a location's latitude and longitude? I use Google Maps, but a quick search would probably reveal more ways of doing it.
Using Google Maps, you can find a location (ex. Chittagong, Bangladesh). Right-click on the city,
and select "What's Here?"
Then Google Maps will show you the name of the City, and the Long/Lat data. Simply copy and paste it into your url.
Here it is, with no other filters, except location and location radius:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?location=22.289096,91.799927&location-radius=10km
Let's see if I get anything....
It looks like there a good number of videos out there actually.
I like changing the URL, because I find it to be the fastest way. But if you don't like messing with that, you can go to http://gdata.youtube.com/demo/index.html, and scroll to the bottom. There is a form where you can enter this info, and generate an URL.
But why do all that when you can cut out the middle-man I say.
Happy Searching!
