`yahoo.search.video - Video Search services module
This module implements the the Video Search web service, to do search
queries on various video formats. There is currently only one class
implemented, VideoSearch.
An application ID (appid) is always required when instantiating a search
object. Additional parameters are documented in the VideoSearch class.
Example:
from yahoo.search.video import VideoSearch
srch = VideoSearch(app_id="YahooDemo", query="Yahoo", results=10)
for res in srch.parse_results():
print res.Title`

`` | `VideoSearch - perform a Yahoo Video Search This class implements the Video Search web service APIs. Allowed parameters are: query - The query to search for (UTF-8 encoded). type - The kind of search to submit: * "all" returns results with all query terms. * "any" resturns results with one or more of the query terms. * "phrase" returns results containing the query terms as a phrase. results - The number of results to return (1-50). start - The starting result position to return (1-based). The finishing position (start + results - 1) cannot exceed 1000. format - Specifies the kind of video file to search for. adult_ok - The service filters out adult content by default. Enter a 1 to allow adult content. site - A domain to restrict your searches to (e.g. www.yahoo.com). You may submit up to 30 values (e.g. ["www.yahoo.com", "www.cnn.com"]). output - The format for the output result. If json or php is requested, the result is not XML parseable, so we will simply return the "raw" string. callback - The name of the callback function to wrap around the JSON data. Supported formats are any - Match all formats avi - AVI flash - Flash mpeg - MPEG msmedia - Microsoft Media quicktime - Apple Quicktime realmedia - Realmedia Full documentation for this service is available at: http://developer.yahoo.net/video/V1/videoSearch.html`
