I am trying to fetch 'Links' part in the About Section of a YouTube channel, Please check the image for reference. Is there any API endpoint for that, I have fetched all the channel options like brandingSettings, snippet, contentDetails, status etc but those links are nowhere. Or is there no endpoint for that.
About Section
Thanks

I want to fetch Youtube channel information e.g. total number of subscribers, language, info tab etc. What's the endpoint to do so if I have only my API key and channel id.
Figured out the answer, following is the API call to fetch channel information.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet,statistics&id=UCSJ4gkVC6NrvII8umztf0Ow&key=[API_KEY]
Google's API Doc
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#search/youtube.channels.list/m/youtube/v3/youtube.channels.list
using of below link which i shared might be useful for your problem
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list
I've got a YouTube user, which doesn't contain a YouTube channel. But the YouTube data API does return a channel, if I query the youtube.channels.list API method by using the "mine=true" attribute like in following example (1).
Example:
(1) Returns a channel (mine=true; by using OAuth):
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.channels.list?part=snippet%252CcontentDetails%252Cstatistics&mine=true&_h=5&
This query (1) returns a channel which contains a channelId. Now I'm trying to query for the playlists of this channel by using the previously returned channelId.
(2) Returns a 404 "channel not found" error
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.playlists.list?part=snippet&channelId=UCIReEy02ibumfYhQP3-0drQ&_h=4&
As described here it's possible to use a YouTube account without a channel but with limited functionality like using playlists:
With a Google Account, you can watch and like videos and subscribe to channels. However, without a YouTube channel, you have no public presence on YouTube. Even if you have a Google Account, you need to create a YouTube channel to upload videos, comment, or make playlists. You can use a computer or the YouTube mobile site to create a new channel.
What's the reason query (1) is returning a channel even if a YouTube account doesn't contain a channel?

[1] Returns a channel (mine=true; by using OAuth):
Because of every account on youtube itself a channel. They can do all the things they want like any channel can do e.g. upload videos. Also, we can make multiple channels under the same account.
[2] Doesn't return a channel (forUsername=UCIReEy02ibumfYhQP3-0drQ; by/without using OAuth):
Please make sure UCIReEy02ibumfYhQP3-0drQ is a valid username
I'm building something with the YouTube API. I've found a few oddities so far. The first thing is that a channel can have a title of 'blah blah - Topic' so you probably want to screen those out if you want to retrieve channels with their own content. If I'm right in my thinking, these are just channels with Playlists. Example: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6tQSWkTxbPNaJ_LQ-Ia6jQ/
Also be aware that channels don't have to have a unique title.
Finally there are many channels that return nothing from the API Channels.List method, even though they are channels. I'm still figuring these out. I don't think they are returned from searching through the API, but if you get your Channel IDs from another source then this could be an issue.
I am trying to upload the video using V3 YouTube API.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/insert
I keep hitting HTTP 400 due to incorrect snippet.categoryID field. Is there any documentation on what available options on this field are?
I've got the answer on YouTube itself. When you upload a video, use web developer tools in browser to inspect categories dropdown. It will contain category ids.
This maps api answer says
Please note you can also use the YouTube API to fetch geolocated
videos to create your own customized YouTube Layer, with filters and
so forth.

Which API request can be used to fetch videos by location? I checked the docs, but I cannot find it.
I believe this: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol#locationsp is what you were talking about, note how it says "Not working. This API parameter is temporarily disabled. See the API issue tracker for more information."
Edit: According to https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=4234 it will be fixed "In the second half of 2013"
I am a Youtube Partner and I have monetized videos on Youtube. Already receive a small monthly amount through some channels that have associated with my Google Adsense account.
Now, I would like to generate a report gathering the monetary values and views received from each channel.
I did the following question on Google Code, because I thought there was some problem in the API, but it happened that I was using the API incorrectly. See the link below.
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=4826#makechanges
Now, I still could not make it work because I do not know where to find the requested data in the response I got from the link above.
Where do I find this CMS_ID? I have more than one channel, so I need to have each accepted as a Youtube Content Manager to use the API and retrieve the gains?
Someone here on Stack Overflow already managed to use the Youtube Analytics API using the metric "earnings"?
My code is in Python based on the example from Google here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/code_samples/python
I'm using the following scopes:
YOUTUBE_SCOPES = ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics.readonly",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/yt-analytics-monetary.readonly"]
As of right now, it's only possible to retrieve monetary information in YouTube Analytics API reports when those reports are run via the context of a content owner, as described in the documentation.
It is possible to have a monetized channel that is opted in for Google AdSense ads without having that channel managed by a content owner, in which case you would not be able to get those metrics via the YouTube Analytics API.
Let's use the issue you previously opened to track the request to open up this type of report to non-content owners as well, as that's a more appropriate place for feature requests than Stack Overflow.
