+Attention mash-up hounds, the youTube API has been changed. Google has [converted the YouTube API][2] to use the Google data protocol (GData) so you can now access YouTube using the same toolbox as other GData services.
+
+The new [YouTube GData API][1] replaces to the old REST/XML-RPC methods, though Google says the old API will continue to be supported for the next year.
+
+Similar to the old, the new API offers read-only access to user profiles, videos uploaded and videos bookmarked by user. In addition to that you can now access subscriptions, video comments, related videos, playlists and search results. 
+
+The default output of GData is an Atom feeds so its possible to use the new API to subscribe to just about anything in your favorite RSS/Atom reader. However, if you prefer there are some other return formats including JSON.
+
+Perhaps the best news for developers is that with GData behind YouTube, you now have access to all the [GData Client libraries][3], including those for PHP, Java, Python and more.
+
+Though the old REST/XML-RPC API will continue to work through August 30th, 2008, Google recommends upgrading your application sooner, rather than later. Check out the handy [migration guide][4] for more details.
