Inspiration

People with their own websites should be able to embed their most recent or popular video easily.
This solution removes the need to have a backend server and doesn't expose a YouTube API key in the client's browser. Redirects do not seem to be able to be iframes so I created the json endpoint to be used instead. Requires some coding but you still don't need to have a backend server or API key exposed.
