    Hi everyone,

    Just a simple question I hope. I've searched and I can't find the right answer.

    I can embed videos from YouTube into WordPress, but I'm wondering if it's possible to embed the total view count from my youtube channel into wordpress.

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Kind regards
    Sycrid.

    Actually there is a way by using YouTube API

    something like this :

    
<?php  
$video_ID = 'lB8uQ_zO-o8';
$JSON = file_get_contents("https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/{$video_ID}?v=2&alt=json");
$JSON_Data = json_decode($JSON);
$views = $JSON_Data->{'entry'}->{'yt$statistics'}->{'viewCount'};
echo $views.' views';
?>
    PHP:
