Rate (like / dislike) YouTube comments

Question

Simple problem:

I use Youtube gdata through javascript to: Comment, Reply and I like / dislike the video. Everything is still working!

However, I try to allow users to especially like and dislike COMMENTS (just like you can on your native youtube.com). But I can not find documents that explain how this is done.

I tried sending the following to ...://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/[video_id]/ratings

 <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:yt="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007"> <link rel="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#in-reply-to" type="application/atom+xml" href="<ID>"/> <yt:rating value="like"/> </entry> 

But there is no joy. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Answer 1

You have video comments, so I assume you are using the YouTube V2 API because it is not possible in V3 . And document V2 says:

Each entry in the comment feed contains information about one comment. Each comment has an author, title, content and in response to the link.

They do not talk about likes and dislikes. It is also impossible to get the number of comments and comments so as not to add them.
