Video feeds derived from context topics

After first extraction you might want to continue extraction using data already extracted. For example you may have extracted interesting keyword and would like to know what videos share the keyword. Wandora's YouTube extractor can use current topic selection as a source of video feeds. Available options are

  • User has selected topics and would like to extract using subject locator URLs. Each subject locator is considered as a video feed URL.
  • User has selected topics and would like to extract using subject identifier URLs. This option assumes every subject identifier is a video feed URL.
  • User has selected topics and would like to extract using selected topics. This option assumes selected topics are
    • YouTube categories,
    • YouTube users, or
    • YouTube keywords.

Extraction recognizes topic type and starts extraction if valid topic type was found.
