Perform the following steps for listing YouTube videos for a keyword:

  1. Create a function that will get the YouTube videos for the Zend Framework keyword.

  2. Establish the connection in a similar way to the previous connection made for Google Photos. This needs to be placed in a new method, getYoutubeVideos(), in the MediaManagerController file, src/Users/Controller/MediaManagerController.php:

      $adapter = new \Zend\Http\Client\Adapter\Curl();
  $adapter->setOptions(array(
    'curloptions' => array(
      CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
    )
  ));

  $httpClient = new \ZendGData\HttpClient();
  $httpClient->setAdapter($adapter);
  
  $client = \ZendGData\ClientLogin::getHttpClient(
    self::GOOGLE_USER_ID,
    self::GOOGLE_PASSWORD,
    \ZendGData\YouTube::AUTH_SERVICE_NAME,
    $httpClient);

  3. Initialize the YouTube client and execute a video query for the keyword Zend Framework:

      $yt = new \ZendGData\YouTube($client);
