  youtube.forEach(videos, function(video){ 
    console.log( youtube.embedCode(video.id) ) 
  });
});

I’ll be honest, I haven’t looked at this code in almost a year, and I’ve nearly forgotten how to use it.

Hopefully, I’ll get more time and clean this up a bit more. The code looks to be fairly well commented, but I don’t have time to go through it; I just wanted to get this on github.
