Youtube api v3 Get list of user's videos

Question

With Youtube api v2, there's easy way to get videos. Just send a query like this:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos?max-results=5&alt=rss&orderby=published&author=OneDirectionVEVO

The Youtube api v2 also has an interactive demo page for building query: http://gdata.youtube.com/demo/index.html

With Youtube api v3, I don't know the corresponding way. Please point me the way with api v3.

Thank you!

Answer 1

The channels#list method will return a JSON with some information about the channel, including the playlist ID for the "uploads" playlist:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=contentDetails&forUsername=OneDirectionVEVO&key={YOUR_API_KEY} 

With the playlist ID you can get the videos with the playlistItems#list method:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&playlistId=UUbW18JZRgko_mOGm5er8Yzg&key={YOUR_API_KEY} 

You can test those at the end of the documentation pages.

Answer 2

This should do it. This code just gets and outputs the title but you can get any details you want

// Get Uploads Playlist $.get(    "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels",{    part : 'contentDetails',     forUsername : 'USER_CHANNEL_NAME',    key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'},    function(data) {       $.each( data.items, function( i, item ) {           pid = item.contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.uploads;           getVids(pid);       });   } );  //Get Videos function getVids(pid){     $.get(         "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems",{         part : 'snippet',          maxResults : 20,         playlistId : pid,         key: 'YOUR_API_KEY'},         function(data) {             var results;             $.each( data.items, function( i, item ) {                 results = '<li>'+ item.snippet.title +'</li>';                 $('#results').append(results);             });         }     ); }   <!--In your HTML --> <ul id="results"></ul>
