How to get descriptions from videos?

[gbarton]

Question

Which api call will get me the descriptions for the videos found underneath the videos while they are being played?

Calling getBasicInfo(id,'WEB') I found VideoInfo.basic_info.short_description, but that does not seem to be it.

Any ideas?

Try video.getInfo(), this is a little slower but gives more information than getBasicInfo(). Also, specifying the Web client isn't needed since that's the default.
