How to get channel related data from youtube api

Question

I need to get the video/playlists/show data from youtube.com.

Example :

• http://www.youtube.com/channel/SWMb9NxQL9I6c
• http://www.youtube.com/show/mtvroadies9/featured

Is there a way I can get the video details for the above URL using the youtube API?

Answer 1

Yes, using:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels

e.g.

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet&id=SWMb9NxQL9I6c&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Answer 2

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"
