Does anyone know how to get the game title assigned to video via the Youtube API?
Game title screenshot from YT web. Here I need to get the Call of Duty game from this video:
Documentation doesn't have any information regarding game title in the video resource: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos
API query with the broadest content settings returns this:

As you can see, there is no info about game title. Has anyone struggled with this and knows the way how to do it?
Someone has already posted the same question here, but it looks like everyone misunderstood him, there is no correct answer and I have no rep to comment in this thread.

Answer 1

As people noticed, there isn't any YouTube Data API v3 endpoint providing you the game associated with the YouTube video.
However by downloading the video webpage and looking for in the source code of the webpage we can find it. Here is a Python 3 script retrieving the game title associated with the YouTube video if there is any:
import urllib.request
def getURL(url):
return urllib.request.urlopen(url).read().decode('utf-8')
videoId = 'oua2xCWTK48'
url = 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' + videoId
content = getURL(url)
prefix = '}]},"title":{"simpleText":"'
if prefix in content:
gameName = content.split(prefix)[1].split('"')[0]
print(gameName)
