The Video Platforms parser PHP package by @chojnicki is an easy-to-use SDK for multiple platforms like YouTube, Dailymotion, Facebook, and more.

The API usage is simple, you can get video info like this:

$info = $parser->get('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE');

Here’s some sample output from Dailymotion, which is similar data you’ll see from any supported platform:

>>> \VideoPlatformsParser::get('https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6qac05?playlist=x5xlnc');
=> [
"id" => "x6qac05",
"platform" => "dailymotion",
"title" => "Simon Pegg on His Most Iconic Characters",
"description" => "Simon Pegg breaks down his favorite and most iconic characters, including Tim from "Spaced," Shaun from "Shaun of the Dead," Nicholas Angel from "Hot Fuzz," Gary King from "The World's End," Scotty in "Star Trek," Unkar Plutt in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," and Benji Dunn in the "Mission: Impossible" movies. Simon stars in "Mission: Impossible - Fallout," out in theaters July 27th.",
