Add speaker and tag API #228

Closed beenje closed 10 years ago

beenje commented 10 years ago

With the current API, you can request videos for a specific speaker or tag, but there is no way to know the existing speakers or tags.

This allows to retrieve the list of speakers and list of tags.

List of speakers is definitely helpful. The tag data sucks, though. I don't want to expose it because it's a bunch of terrible data.

There have been some ideas on how to do a better tagging system, but I think work on that is going to be a ways out.

What's the use case for looking at the tags data?

beenje commented 10 years ago

I'd like to fix the XBMC add-on for pyvideo.org. I thought about giving a list of videos per category/speaker/tag. If the tag data is not well organized, it probably won't be useful. So no problem to drop that.

A real search by query like on the website would be much more useful. I will try to look a it.

For this PR, would it be ok if I remove the list of tag and keep only the speakers?

Keeping the speaker stuff and removing just the tag bits would be perfect!

Tag bits removed

I squashed them and landed it in master: 760bcac Add speaker API

Thank you!
