This library has been discussed here before, but I just realized that I never did an official announcement to the group. It is basically a Ruby wrapper around YouTube’s REST API, and currently implements all the available methods. It also includes a convenience method to easily embed a video in a Rails view.
Install with ‘gem install youtube’.
