Any Scripts to Import Video Game Demos?

clarktr2 · 09-04-2011, 04:29 PM

Question for all you warriors around this Labor Day weekend:

I was lucky enough to grab an exact match .com related to the new Sony Playstation Vita (to be released this December). If trends from the current Sony portable are any indication, I expect the keyword to get 20-30,000 exact match searches per month.

People searching this keyword will be looking for demo versions of Vita games.

I plan to monetize with Adsense.

So here's my question:

Rather than having to upload demo games one by one (could be hundreds of them), does anyone know if it's possible to create some type of script to do it automatically?

I'm hoping that there's either some solution out there already that I haven't been able to find, or that it will be possible to have a script custom made.

Anyone have any input either way?

Yes you can create a custom PHP/MySQL script to fetch automatically and very 5 mins or daily new videos about your keyword from Youtube, and add them automatically to your web site, you can skip already added videos.

This is Youtube Developers Documentation link : API Overview Guide - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

If you can't code your own script, hire a freelancer.
Price Estimation : $60-$150

Good Luck

Not looking to import videos, though. Looking to import free game demos.

Yup, you can tell the Youtube API to import you only Games Plays, Reviews etc.. Videos

I think what you are asking is is there a way you can pull down the actual games onto your site? I think the problem with that is going to be how the games are released I would have thought that it would probably move to the apple model of downloading games from an app store?

Certainly a script could be written to check when games are out, and maybe redirect, but until you see how vita games will be accessed it is too early to say.
