Get YouTube video title with video ID in PHP

$

I have to get the YouTube video title with the YouTube video ID in PHP.

Currently I am doing it like this:

    $html = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" . $video_id;    $doc = new DOMDocument();    $doc->loadHTMLFile($html);    $doc->preserveWhiteSpace = false;    $title_div = $doc->getElementById('eow-title');    $title = $title_div->nodeValue;

But this is throwing an error as:

Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMpCsfvi_3c): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 429 Too Many Requests in /home/vhosts/xxxx/xxxx/get_youtube_title.php on line 6Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMpCsfvi_3c" in /home/vhosts/xxxx/xxxx/get_youtube_title.php on line 6

The above method works fine on GoDaddy hosting, but not on 101domain.com hosting.

Another method I have tried is this:

if($content = file_get_contents("http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=" . $video_id)) {    parse_str($content, $ytarr);    $myvideos[$i]['video_title'] = $ytarr['title'];}else    $myvideos[$i]['video_title'] = "No title";

This throws an error as:

Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile(http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=hMpCsfvi_3c): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 402 Payment Required in /home/vhosts/xxxx/get_youtube_title.php on line 6Warning: DOMDocument::loadHTMLFile(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "http://youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=hMpCsfvi_3c" in /home/vhosts/xxxx/get_youtube_title.php on line 6

The last method I tried was this:

$ch = curl_init();curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://youtube.com/get_video_info? video_id=" . $video_id);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);$response = curl_exec($ch);curl_close($ch);

This doesn't throw any error, but it doesn't work either. The error reporting is E_ALL and display_errors is set to 1.

Somebody has told me it's safer to use the YouTube API for this. Since I am new to YouTube API, I need some help.

How can I get the video title with the video ID in PHP? Also aneasy-to-follow tutorial for the YouTube API.

Note: This is not duplicate question.

Other answers on Stack Overflow about the YouTube API are pre 2013, and they no longer work.
