youtube api movie rental / purchase - api

I am wondering if it is possible with the youtube api to get a list of purchasable, or rentable movies. When I go to the youtube website and I am logged into my google account I can see movies to purchase and their prices.
I would like to offer this option in my application ( http://www.tastefilter.com ). We would like to offer links to youtube so people can watch movies directly from their tablets. However I can't find anything in the youtube v2 or v3 documentation on purchasability of a movie, on how to filter a search query to only return those movies, and finally, no pricing info.

Take a look at the YouTube v2.0 Data API. There is a search parameter called paid_content that lets you retrieve information about rentable movies only.

Retrieve spotify album covers of currently played songs

Hej,
I'd like to retrieve the cover artworks of my current listenings and put it in a way like this:
[http://codepen.io/motorlatitude/pen/hipIl][1]
I found a couple of solution on how to get the album covers in general, but not for my recent listenings only.
Thanks! :)
The Spotify Web API has an endpoint for returning the cover artwork of a given album, see the images property in the information return in Get Album.
However, Spotify doesn't expose recent listenings, so you'll need to get that information somehow. Some people use Last.FM API, that can give you this information if you scrobble to Last.fm from Spotify or any music player.

Can I use the Spotify recommendation intelligence in an app?

On the Spotify dashboard an user has a great experience through the recommended artist and songs. I would like to use this intelligence in an app we plan to develop for a big Dutch based podium. So the app can give a list of concerts playing at the poppodium which the user might be interested in.
Can I get this recommended artist data, based on the user's history, through the Spotify API?
The Spotify API now provides recommendations:
https://developer.spotify.com/web-api/get-recommendations/
Recommendations are generated based on the available information for a
given seed entity and matched against similar artists and tracks. If
there is sufficient information about the provided seeds, a list of
tracks will be returned together with pool size details.
For artists and tracks that are very new or obscure there might not be
enough data to generate a list of tracks.
There are a bunch of parameters that can be configured for fine-tuning the recommendation: key, genre, loudness, energy, instrumentalness, popularity, speechiness, danceability, key ...
You can use Spotify's Web API endpoints to fetch these data:
The Get a User’s Top Artists and Tracks endpoint will give you artists and tracks based on user's listening history. You can also use the Get Current User’s Recently Played Tracks, which will give you up to 50 recently played tracks.
Use the artists and tracks you just get and use them as seeds for the Get Recommendations Based on Seeds endpoint. This endpoint will only return tracks. If you want to get artists based on other artists there is the Get an Artist’s Related Artists endpoint that you can use.
As you see, combining multiple endpoints will get you covered. Just make sure you read the Web API Authorization Guide before. You are going to need the user to authenticate in order to get user's data.
Note: When the question was first posted (July 2013), Spotify's Web API didn't exist. The question referred to a now defunct Spotify Apps API which didn't provide a way to generate recommendations based on listening history.

Youtube API: How do request only safe advertisements?

I am trying to use YouTube API on a project. Is there a way to ask YouTube to display only safe advertisements? I don't want kids watching horror movie trailers when they watch YouTube videos.
YouTube lets you block certain ads on a site basis http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=164131 but I don't see horroR film trailers in that list. If you don't want offensive ads you should use a paid service like Vimeo and get no ads at all.
