I'm currently using the YouTube Data API v3 for videos and I'd like to get pricing information from the API. I couldn't find anything regarding that in the API. Is there another API for this kind of information that I'm not aware of or some undocumented parameter?
Here's an example request to get information about a movie that can be rented and bought on YouTube:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?key=API_KEY_HERE&part=snippet&id=wz43PZMOrAM
There's a price visible on the site itself but no trace of it in the API:

Thanks!
This is beyond the Youtube Data API's scope. You can't fetch that information using the Youtube API yet.

I am using youtube api and some videos, which I am fetching are for YouTube premium. How can I filter them from not fetching these videos?
As always YouTube Data API v3 doesn't provide a basic feature: is a given video a premium one?
I would recommend you to use my open-source YouTube operational API. Indeed by requesting https://yt.lemnoslife.com/videos?part=isPremium&id=VIDEO_ID you'll receive a JSON where item['isPremium'] is a boolean stating whether or not the given video is a premium one.
With that you will be able to filter premium videos in search results with an additional call to my API.
So I just signed up my app for Youtube Data API V3.. I currently have the API key on hand.
Now.. I don't need to do any auth. I only want to access public information about different youtube channels.. such as their subscriber count, likes/dislikes per video, comments per video.. and that's about it.
Can someone point me to an example of hitting an endpoint to get sub count using a sample youtube account?
Thanks. Any help is appreciated.
I have a C# program I wrote using the Youtube API V3 that manages my channel's videos.
I already have all the OAuth 2.0 stuff sorted out and I'm looking for a way to tell Youtube that the authenticated account watched the video.
The reason being that I use the "watched" feature to determine which of the videos in my feed is the last one I actually watched.
Is there a way to do that?
Or is it purposefully not in the API because it messes with the view count?
Of course I checked Google and Google's API reference first, didn't find anything.
I would like to display a list of videos from a YouTube playlist in an intranet application.
Is it possible to get the list of videos from a YouTube playlist using the Data api (or any other way) without requiring the user to login?
Everything that I have read so far in the YouTube data api requires the user to be signed in to authenticate.
unfortunately, you can't access youtube data API with anonymously user.
Your application must have authorization credentials to be able to use the YouTube Data API.
The Developers Console associates your credentials with the APIs that you indicate that your application will use. Note that the Developers Console does not allow you to select the YouTube Data API (v2). However, authorization credentials for the v3 API will also work for the v2 API.
If possible, you should actually use YouTube Data API (v3) rather than the v2 API in your application. The YouTube API blog explains some of the benefits that the newer API offers, and we have added a year's worth of additional functionality to the API since that blog post!

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.
