Video Stats - youtube api - youtube-api

I'm getting video stats via api call. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djSHYd-BhMQ in this video has only one comment but API returns 0 as you can see from here ATTACHMENT. This is also happening if you try to call this via Youtube API Explorer. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list?apix=true#try-it_1

How to get YouTube channel's trailer and featured video via the Data API?

I'm trying to use the YouTube Data API to get a channel's Trailer and Featured Video but can't find anything in the [API docs][1] or responses that might provide it. Ideally, there'd be something that would return the ID of whichever videos had been selected here: https://studio.youtube.com/channel/[CHANNEL_ID]/editing/sections
Maybe it's buried in an obscure endpoint. Maybe the API simply doesn't include this anywhere. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Update: I've found the channel trailer as unsubscribedTrailer under the channels:list endpoint with the brandingSettings part. However, for some reason Google has decided not to include the featured video with it.
One more time YouTube Data API v3 doesn't provide a basic feature.
As Video spotlight you can have:
Featured video for returning subscribers
Highlight a video for your subscribers to watch. This video won’t be shown again at the top of your page for subscribers who have watched it. Learn more
Source: https://studio.youtube.com/channel/CHANNEL_ID/editing/sections
For the featured video:
you first need to subscribe to the give YouTube channel. To do so in an automatic way, use YouTube Data API v3 Subscriptions: insert endpoint.
then open your web-browser Network developer tool tab (Ctrl + Shift + E on FireFox) and filter HTML requests, then visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/CHANNEL_ID and copy the initial request to CHANNEL_ID as cURL, that way you can re-execute this cURL request for any channel you are subscribed to by changing the URL in the cURL request to https://www.youtube.com/channel/ANOTHER_CHANNEL_ID. Furthermore you'll find the featured video id in the JavaScript variable ytInitialData in the JSON entry
contents/twoColumnBrowseResultsRenderer/tabs/0/tabRenderer/content/sectionListRenderer/contents/0/itemSectionRenderer/contents/0/channelFeaturedContentRenderer/items/0/videoRenderer/videoId.
The channel with id UCv_LqFI-0vMVYgNR3TeB3zQ have both a channel trailer (1RHxvM8mQS4) and a featured video (rFuip5CSWcA).

Insert a video at beginning of a current youtube

I am trying to see if the YouTube API supports inserting a video into a current YouTube video. This can manually be accomplished via the YouTube editor. However, I am looking to do this for all videos within a channel via an API call. Is this possible?
Thank you so much.

Youtube API -likes/views along with the time when it is liked/viewed for a video

Can we get the likes/views along with the time when it is liked/viewed of a particular youtube video using Youtube API
Data API won't give that information. You can only access number and person, not the time piece.

Youtube API - Video is not available

Is there any way to detect if a video was removed or unavailable?
We need to have ability to remove it from the video listing if it has been removed from youtube server.
Hung BUI if you are using youtube API there is a way to filter the video which has been removed or not availble in your locality.
Kindly watch this video and seek it to 2m:03s, The tutor will say how to filter the unavailable and restricted video,..
Youtube Video on YOUTUBE search API
Use a parameter format and restriction along with the youtube api endpoint
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=GoogleDevelopers&max-results=1&v=2.1&alt=jsonc&format=5&restriction=DE
If you hit this endpoint of youtube you can get a set of youtube videos which can be embedded as well as we can check whether the video is restricted in our locality.

YouTube API: How to specify an API callback after an uploaded video has finished encoding?

I am uploading videos using the YouTube/Gdata API (in python).
After a video has been uploaded via the API, I receive the a response with data about the video (Youtube link, id, etc). However, the video is not publicly available while it is being encoded by YouTube (typically a few minutes).
Can I specify a callback url that YouTube can post to after it finishes processing the video?
No.
You need to poll using the video id to and check the 'state' of the video to detect when 'processing' is no longer present.
With Youtube's V3 API, you need to do something similar, but slightly different.
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=processingDetails&id={VIDEO_ID}&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
