    I've seen this before, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. I've been able to get the description and title/url. I also want to be able to get the number of videos in each album. I'm currently doing this:

    channel->item as $video)
    {
    echo 'link.'">'.$video->title.'';
    echo $video->description;
    }
    ?>

    That's just to get those two things. I don't see anyway in the API to determine what album each video belongs to. I see it happening on the album page on vimeo so I hope you guys can make that available to developers.

    Sadly, at this point, there is no Albums or Channels in the API. I expect this to be resolved soon.

    Well the reason I ask is because of this: chrispederick.com/videos/

    Looks like he has all that info, unless he's manually entering it. I doubt that he's using cURL or something to scrape the page for the data because that would be overkill.

    I think he must be scrapping it or hard coding it... that stuff will be in the API soon, but I don't think there is any way yet. Unless my memory and grep skills are sorely lacking today.

    Anyways, I contacted Chris... perhaps he'll come and let us know how he did it.

    You should be able to get that data soon though.

    Hey guys - Ted is right I actually have a PHP file on my site that I manually update that associates videos with albums and I use this to display the numbers of videos in an album.

    That's great that this is coming soon in the API though, Ted.

    hey guys, sorry about the delay here. unfortunately we lost Ted, our API guru.

    i'm attempting to fill his shoes, but i already have my hands full with other projects. i'll try and get these features in our dev queue. if not, hopefully i can work on them in my time between projects.

    stay tuned.

    Lost Ted meaning that he quit?

    Hey guys, I'm gonna be working on bringing the API up-to-date in the next couple weeks. Albums, channels, and groups are definitely on the agenda.
