I can't find the answer to this one anywhere:
with the YouTube API V3, is it also possible to only list the videos from a channel that are not listed in playlists?
I am using this jsonUrl
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?channelId=....
hope someone has the answer!
No, not from the API.
If you had specific playlists in mind, you could extract those videoIDs from the playlists and then check that list of IDs when fetching videoIDs from the channel. That's about all I can think of.
To retrieve all videos from you channel, go to search.list and use the following parameters (choose list my videos):
type - video
q - LEAVE_THIS_BLANK
forMine - true
maxResults - 50
part - snippet
then Execute. It should return all vidoes. If there's more than 50, just use nextPageToken.

I currently use something like https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=id&order=date&channelId=CHANNELID&maxResults=1&type=video&key=KEY and I want to be able to retrieve only the latest video and to totally exclude shorts.
How can I achieve this? 🤔
The Youtube search method
Will allow you to search for things like keyword, location, events, your own videos and related videos.
There is no way to filter or limit videos returned. Your only hope would be to sort them out locally when you get the results.
You may want to add a feature request here there is this one but it's really old Search API: More flexible/logical videoDuration requests
(sorry its my 1st time answering at stackoverflow, so might not be descriptive)
if you you use youtube serch method
then you'll realise that shorts description are assigned as empty string "" where as the videos have some description . so with an if condition like below can slove your problem (js)
if(!(video.snippet.description == ""))
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?id=UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw&part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatistics&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Using this API link, I get a list of videos from start but not all videos. I only get 300 to 500 videos.
This is a bit complicated. You have to make a few calls instead.
find the channel ID of the channel you want.
list playlists (youtube.channels.list set id to channelId and set part to contentDetails)
find the ID of the playlist with name uploads
list playlist items (youtube.playlistItems.list set playlistId and set part to snippet optionally set maxResults to 50)
Page through results using nextPageToken
Found this from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/27872244/975887
Hope this helps.
I'm using GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=contentDetails%2Csnippet&maxResults=50&playlistId=PLFs4vir_WsTwwb2zqmtE2WTEFdc7AQHnc&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
This returns all data, but only videoId in each video contentDetails. Maybe I'm missing something here?
YouTube has removed the features that set start and end times to playlist items: here's a product forum post that details this (and indicates an official response from Google account reps):
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/Gipu_cCDScI
Since playlists can no longer set start/end times on its items, the API no longer delivers them.
Not an answer, but a workaround. You can retrieve a playlist and use videos list with up to 50 videoIds in the URL to retrieve each video duration.
I have two "Live streaming/live broadcast saved playlists" in following youtube channel --> https://www.youtube.com/user/swaminarayanlive.
I am trying to retrieve all the "live streaming / live broadcast playlists" of a channel using new youtube v3 api by using the below link-->
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlists?part=snippet&channelId=UCBkNpeyvBO2TdPGVC_PsPUA&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
here i can get the info of playlists which are not live streams or live broadcast. and not able to get the same for the live one.
Please help me how can i get that for live one using youtube v3 api
I was researching another issue with the API when finding this, and when I saw that this was never resolved, I decided to look into it. It turns out that this is related to that other issue.
The YouTube API v3 lacks support for saved playlists. The channel swaminarayanlive did not create the playlists, only saved them from the channel BhujMandir.
The workaround in your case would be to retrieve the playlists of BhujMandir and extract the response snippets with "title" parameters containing the word "Live".
You would need to go through the pages and search each one for this, since there is a limit to how many results an API response can show at once. Currently it's 50.
So, you would use the following to get the first page of playlistItems:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlists?part=snippet&channelId=UCVItNtUctAknegvmYcMhUQg&maxResults=50&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
This will return an API response containing the properties "kind" (which will have the value "youtube#playlistListResponse") and "etag". If there are more than 50 results, there will also be a "nextPageToken" property. (On a page that is not the first, there would also be a "prevPageToken" property.)
After these properties, there are two blocks. One called "pageInfo", containing info about how many results (playlists) there are and how many are shown per page, and one block called "items", containing the resulting playlistItems.
You would look through the items block for any playlistItem with a title property (which is a string) containing the substring "Live" and get the id properties of those. You would then look on the next page by using the nextPageToken's value in a new HTTP request, like so:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlists?part=snippet&channelId=UCVItNtUctAknegvmYcMhUQg&maxResults=50&pageToken=[nextPageToken_value_here]&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
As of now, the two playlists you're looking for are on the pages with tokens CJYBEAA and CMgBEAA.
I think that where is the {YOUR_API_KEY} you should change this code and insert the name of your application program interface
Since Google has deprecated the YouTube v2 API, I cannot find a way to get all the comments from a video.
Is it possible to use a single, non-deprecated API (Google+, YT v3) to do that?
I am not concerned about maintaining threading.
Believe me it works
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?key=******************&textFormat=plainText&part=snippet&videoId=kffacxfA7G4&maxResults=50
Key will be provided by the google developer console and 50 denotes 50 comments in form of a json, video id is the id of the video. For any type of queries comment below.
You can get only 100 at most at a time with the comments API. But you get a nextPageToken from the comment api response. Pass &pageToken={nextPageToken} to next api call, until the nextPageToken is undefined. Then you can get all comments if you like.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?key={your_api_key}&textFormat=plainText&part=snippet&videoId={video_id}&maxResults=100&pageToken={nextPageToken}
Apparently it is now possible to fetch comment threads.
(old answer)
Currently that's impossible with a first-party tool.
Source:
While v3 offers the majority of v2 functionality, there are currently
a couple of tasks that can only be done with the older API.
Specifically, applications that manage captions or that work with
video comments still need to use the v2 API until modern equivalents
are available. Our goal is to provide similar functionality well

You can fetch all the comments using https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads
The Youtube API v3.0 allows you the following parameters.
textFormat - This parameter indicates whether the API should return comments formatted as HTML or as plain text. The default value is html.
videoId - The Youtube Video ID you want to fetch comments for ( if you dont know your Youtube Video ID, you can get one from Youtube Video ID Finder )
maxResults - The maxResults parameter specifies the maximum number of items that should be returned in the result set.
pageToken - The pageToken parameter identifies a specific page in the result set that should be returned. In an API response, the nextPageToken property identifies the next page of the result that can be retrieved.
