Youtube API event on a specified time

Question

Is it possible through the YouTube API to fire an event when the video reaches a specified time? e.g. when the video reaches 20 sec. fire the event.

Thanks,
Maur

Not sure if anyone agrees here but I might prefer to use setTimeout() over setInterval() as it avoids using event listeners, eg:

function checkTime(){
    setTimeout(function(){
        videotime = getVideoTime();
        if(videotime !== requiredTime) {
             checkTime();//Recursive call.
        }else{
            //run stuff you want to at a particular time.
            //do not call checkTime() again.
        }
    },100);
}

Its a basic pseudocode but hopefully conveys the idea.
