Get information on multiple YouTube videos for a single request?

Can I get information about several YouTube videos from a single request using youtube api (ver 2.0)?

Retrieving information about a single video

From the link above, I can learn how to get information about a single video by its identifier. For instance:

https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/ylLzyHk54Z0?v=2&fields=title,author,yt:statistics,yt:rating&alt=json

But how can I get two video information by my identifiers for one request? I read the developer's guide and it seems that there is nothing in my question. Is this possible for youtube api version 3.0?

Hope anyone can help! Thank you very much!

You must use the YouTube API v2.0 - Using Batch Processing .

You can place the XML as follows:

 <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:batch="http://schemas.google.com/gdata/batch" xmlns:yt="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007"> <batch:operation type="query" /> <entry> <id>http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/weRefE-qw9</id> </entry> <entry> <id>http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/kkT-t894YSa</id> </entry> ... </feed>

To this url:

 http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/batch

This is a quote from the documentation:

The YouTube Data API supports batch processing, allowing you to perform up to 50 operations with a single API request, rather than submitting a separate request for each individual operation. A batch request processing can combine multiple requests (GET), insert (POST), update (PUT), and delete (DELETE). Each operation contained in the <entry> in the request. This section explains how to format batch processing requests and process API responses to these requests.
