YouTube API to fetch all videos on a channel
We need a video list by channel name of YouTube (using the API).
We can get a channel list (only channel name) by using the below API:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/channels?v=2&q=tendulkar
Below is a direct link of channels
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqAEtEr0A0Eo2IVcuWBfB9g
Or
WWW.YouTube.com/channel/HC-8jgBP-4rlI
Now, we need videos of channel >> UCqAEtEr0A0Eo2IVcuWBfB9g or HC-8jgBP-4rlI.
We tried
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&uploader=partner&User=UC7Xayrf2k0NZiz3S04WuDNQ https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&uploader=partner&q=UC7Xayrf2k0NZiz3S04WuDNQ
But, it does not help.
We need all the videos posted on the channel. Videos uploaded to a channel can be from multiple users thus I don't think providing a user parameter would help...
You need to look at the YouTube Data API. You will find there documentation about how the API can be accessed. You can also find client libraries.
You could also make the requests yourself. Here is an example URL that retrieves the latest videos from a channel:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key={your_key_here}&channelId={channel_id_here}&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults=20
After that you will receive a JSON with video ids and details, and you can construct your video URL like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v={video_id_here}
First, you need to get the ID of the playlist that represents the uploads from the user/channel:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list#try-it
You can specify the username with the forUsername={username} param, or specify mine=true to get your own (you need to authenticate first). Include part=contentDetails to see the playlists.
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=contentDetails&forUsername=jambrose42&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
In the result, "relatedPlaylists" will include "likes" and "uploads" playlists. Grab that "upload" playlist ID. Also note the "id" is your channelID for future reference.
Next, get a list of videos in that playlist:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems/list#try-it
Just drop in the playlistId!
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails&maxResults=50&playlistId=UUpRmvjdu3ixew5ahydZ67uA&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Here is a video from Google Developers showing how to list all videos in a channel in v3 of the YouTube API.
There are two steps:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?id={channel Id}&key={API key}&part=contentDetails https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?playlistId={"uploads" Id}&key={API key}&part=snippet&maxResults=50
