Is it possible to query the API for all videos of a certain type?  (For example, get all "Quick Looks", "Endurance Runs", etc, just like how they're categorized on http://www.giantbomb.com/videos.)  From what I can tell, there isn't a specific way to do this currently.

I can get HTML that lists all of the Quick Looks here:
http://www.giantbomb.com/video/get-subnav-content/?video_type=3?page=1
...but parsing HTML isn't ideal. 

What would really be awesome is if I could do this from the API.  Something like this would return all Quick Look videos from Giant Bomb sorted by publish date:

http://api.giantbomb.com/videos/?api_key=MY_API_KEY&sort=publish_date&video_type=3&format=xml    

Is there any chance that this (or something similar) could be implemented?

Filtering results is something we were promised early on, but never really came to fruition. I agree that it would be nice to see through the API how the video is categorized though.

Any chance of exposing this in the near future?
 
It looks like the logic for this is already implemented (as it's used by all of the Whiskey sites), it just needs to be supported in the API.
