## Description

Spratlin Video Feed lets you create one or more YouTube feeds and render them anywhere
with a shortcode.

Features:
 1. Video feeds from any YouTube channel. 2. Filter videos by title using
regex or a simple name filter. 3. Togglable display of video title and description.
4. Supports use of custom CSS to change style.

Shortcodes:
 * `[spratlindev_video_feed]` view of all configured feeds. * `[spratlindev_video_feed
id="main"]` view of one feed by ID.

### External Services

This plugin connects to the YouTube Data API v3 (provided by Google) to retrieve
channel and video information. This is required for the plugin to display any video
feeds.

The following data is sent to Google’s servers:

 * **Channel lookup:** The YouTube channel handle you configure is sent to the YouTube
   Data API to resolve the channel ID. This request is made once per channel when
   the feed first loads (results are cached for 30 minutes).
 * **Video list:** After resolving the channel ID, the plugin fetches the list of
   recent videos for that channel from the YouTube Data API.
 * **Video details:** Video IDs are sent to the YouTube Data API to retrieve full
   video descriptions.

All API requests include your YouTube API key. No visitor personal data (e.g. names,
email addresses, IP addresses) is collected or transmitted by this plugin.

## Installation

 1. Activate the plugin in the Plugins screen.
 2. Go to **Spratlin Video Feed** in wp-admin and add your YouTube API key. You can
    obtain a YouTube API key from the Google Developers Console: https://developers.
    google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started
 3. Create at least one feed (set ID, channel handle, and filter options).
 4. Add shortcode to a page or post.

## FAQ

### Do I need a YouTube API key?

Yes. Add your API key in the plugin settings page. See this article for instructions:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started

### How do I build a regex filter?

You can use a regex builder like https://regex-generator.olafneumann.org/ to create
a regex pattern.

### Can I filter by date patterns in titles?

Yes. Use `Regex` filter mode and provide a pattern such as `\b\d{1,2}[\/-]\d{1,2}[\/-]\
d{2,4}\b`.

### Why does one shortcode render many videos?

If you use `[spratlindev_video_feed]`, all feeds render. Use `[spratlindev_video_feed
id="your-id"]` to target one feed.
