I successfully get the most recent videos from a youtube channel by using order=date, i now want to get the oldest videos due to youtube api not returning pages after 500 results. Is there a parameter than can accomplish this?
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?
key='.$api_key.'&channelId='.$channel_id.'&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults='.$limit.'&fields=*');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
There is no documented way to order by reverse date order. see;
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list
YouTube offers a 500 limit on returned items, so unfortunately the only way you can do this is page through the 500 results and order them within your application.
If you want to recieve the max number of videos possible you could make a API call with every concievable order value so 'order' with 'date','rating', 'relevence','title','videoCount','viewCount' then strip out any duplicates. Of course only applicable to channels > 500 videos, you could make an additional API request to get the 'videoCount' before doing this and break out of the operation if the number of unique videos is equal to the 'videoCount' value. Its messy and not guaranteed to pull all results, but the only way to do this given the current API.

So, im working on an Application which compares your youtube channel Data with other similare youtube channels.
Currently im working on the authentication of an user with his youtube account, therefore im Using the OAuth Client.
I already got an code which i can exchange for an access_token, which also works.
Sadly, the access_token which i get does not work for an simple /search call and gives me an HTTP 400 -> keyinvalid
The same call works with an generated ApiKey just fine, but i would prefer to use OAutch.
My question is, does an accessToken not work with public calls like /search? If it does, what could be my problem here?
Thanks in Advance!
EDIT: Added Code Examples
Step 1: I call the OAuth client with the following url call in an new window with window.open(url)
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?
scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly&
access_type=offline&
include_granted_scopes=true&
state=state_parameter_passthrough_value&
redirect_uri=https://website.com/&
response_type=code&
client_id=9791...7bng.apps.googleusercontent.com"
In the Response I extract the Code which looks something like this
4/1QCLZnwsntp...sNcE
Send this code over an REST API to my Backend which uses this code to exchange it for an access_token with an PHP curl POST call
$this->connection = curl_init();
$url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token';
$param = 'code='.$this->credentialsTemp['code'].'&client_id='.$GLOBALS['Youtube-Credentials']['clientId'].'&client_secret='.$GLOBALS['Youtube-Credentials']['clientSecret'].'&redirect_uri=https://website.com/&grant_type=authorization_code';
curl_setopt($this->connection, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($this->connection, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($this->connection, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
curl_setopt($this->connection, CURLOPT_POST,true);
curl_setopt($this->connection, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $param);
$resp = curl_exec($this->connection);
curl_close($this->connection);
$acces_token = json_decode($resp,true)["access_token"];
in $acces_token should be my access_token which at the Moment looks close to this ya29.GlyTBtFMdLqKbvgaps...SA2pBORo_Am5UuBuxo8g
I'm trying to get the entered information on a survey of SurveyMonkey through the API. But i'm getting the following return message: "Could not validate access to survey at this time, please try again later.", with status 5 (System Error).
I'm working with a APP in Draft status. All the scopes in my app are put on optional. And other api calls (like get_survey_list) do give me data.
I'm working with php, but the API console (https://developer.surveymonkey.com/docs/api_console/) also gives me these results.
Is there an extra permission layer i'm missing? Do ppl need to approve something through oauth?
The API console is for V2 of the API (which is either deprecated, or likely to be deprecated soon), I would recommend using V3 (https://developer.surveymonkey.com/api/v3)
You can fetch the list of surveys using
GET /v3/surveys
And you can get a specific survey with
GET /v3/surveys/<id>
And follow down the path to get individual pages/questions, or if you want the entire survey expanded at once, use:
GET /v3/surveys/<id>/details
With regards to the request you are doing with API v2, I'd probably need a bit more information, if you are doing a POST with an empty body to get_survey_list and are getting that issue I'd probably contact their customer support to look into it as it looks like a server error. But I would recommend going to V3 and see if everything works fine for you.
Like the general posted, v3 works fine. Here is the code of my POC that works:
// GET USER
$requestHeaders = array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]',
);
$url = 'https://api.surveymonkey.net/v3/users/me?api_key=[API_KEY]';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $requestHeaders);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
The above is the just a simple call to get the basic info of the user.
The next call get's the answers given in the responses that are given through a specific collector.
// GET THE ANSWERS OF THE SURVEY
$requestHeaders = array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]',
);
$url = 'https://api.surveymonkey.net/v3/collectors/[COLLECTOR_ID]/responses/bulk?api_key=[API_KEY]';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $requestHeaders);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
You can also import the API into Postman. There is a button for this on the documentation site. Pretty nice :)
i am trying with youtube api v3 php search...
first time i'm using this api for this i am beginner...
i have 3 question;
1) how can below search list showing pagination numbers? (per page 50 result)
2) how can video duration show in list? (3:20 min:second)
3) how can order viewCount
if ($_GET['q']) {
require_once 'src/Google_Client.php';
require_once 'src/contrib/Google_YoutubeService.php';
$DEVELOPER_KEY = 'my key';
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setDeveloperKey($DEVELOPER_KEY);
$youtube = new Google_YoutubeService($client);
try {
$searchResponse = $youtube->search->listSearch('id,snippet', array(
'q' => $_GET['q'],
'maxResults' => 50,
'type' => "video",
));
foreach ($searchResponse['items'] as $searchResult) {
$videos .= '<li style="clear:left"><img src="'.$searchResult['snippet']['thumbnails']['default']['url'].'" style="float:left; margin-right:18px" alt="" /><span style="float:left">'.$searchResult['snippet']['title'].'<br />'.$searchResult['id']['videoId'].'<br />'.$searchResult['snippet']['publishedAt'].'<br />'.$item['contentDetails']['duration'].'</span></li>';
}
$htmlBody .= <<<END
<ul>$videos</ul>
END;
} catch (Google_ServiceException $e) {
$htmlBody .= sprintf('<p>A service error occurred: <code>%s</code></p>',
htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage()));
} catch (Google_Exception $e) {
$htmlBody .= sprintf('<p>An client error occurred: <code>%s</code></p>',
htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage()));
}
}
1) how can below search list showing pagination numbers? (per page 50 result)
You need to write your own cacheing logic to implement this feature because with every result you get two tokens "NextPageToken" and "PreviousPageToken" and subsequent query must contain that token number to get next page or previous page token like below.
So whenever results are not available at cache then you should send either nextpagetoken or previous page token.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=API_KEY&part=snippet&q=japan&maxResults=10&order=date&pageToken=NEXT_or_PREVIOUS_PAGE_TOKEN
In particular your case where you need 50 pages per page and you are showing 3 pagination like (1,2,NEXT) then you need to fetch results two times. Both the results you will keep in cache so for page 1 and 2 results will be retrieved from cache. For next you make it sure that you are making query google again by sending nextPageToken.
Thus to show pagination 1-n and every page 50 results then you need to make n-1 queries to google api. But if you are showing 10 results per page then you cane make single query of 50 results using which you can show first 5 pages (1-5) with the help of retrieved results and at next you should again send next page token like above.
NOTE- Google youtube api provide 50 results max.
2) how can video duration show in list? (3:20 min:second)
Youtube API v3 do not return video duration at simple first search response. To get video duration we need to make one extra call to youtube api like below.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=VIDEO_ID1%2CVIDEO_ID2&part=contentDetails&key=API_KEY (max 50 IDs)
This issue is highlighted in "http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=4294".I posted my answer here too.
Hence if we want to display video duration then we need to make two calls every time.
3) how can order viewCount
Trigger below query it will provide results ordered by view count.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=KEY&part=snippet&q=japan&maxResults=5&order=viewCount
For detail please refer this - https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list#order
The youTube API V3 is somehow complicated compare to API V2.
To the question above, my approach is not for search result rather is to retrieve user uploaded videos. I believe this can be useful
References
The way you create pagination in v3 is not the same as in v2 where you can make your call simply like
$youtube = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/Qtube247/uploads?v=2&alt=jsonc&start-index=1&max-results=50";
In v3 you need to make two or three calls the first one will be to get the channel detail and second call will be to retrieve playlist from where we will get the channel playlist Id and finally retrieve individual video data.
I am using Php CURL
$youtube = “https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatistics&id=yourChannelIdgoeshere&key=yourApiKey”;
Here we retrieve user playlist ID
$result = json_decode($return, true);
$playlistId=$result['items'][0]['contentDetails']['relatedPlaylists']['uploads'];
we define pagetoken
$pageToken=’’;
Each time user click control button we retrieve pagetoken from session[] and feed the curl url, and in turn will produce nextpagetoken or prevpagetoken. Whatever you feed the url the Api know what set of list to populate.
if(isset($_REQUEST['ptk']) && $_REQUEST['ptk’]!==''){
$pageToken=$_REQUEST['ptk’];
}
Here we retrieve user playlist
$ playlistItems =”https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&pageToken=”.$pageToken.”&maxResults=50&playlistId=$playlistId&key= yourApiKey”;
If user has more than maxResult, we should have nextPageToken, take for an example user has 200 uploaded videos,the first pagetoken may be CDIQAA and next pagetoken may be CGQQAA while previous may be CDIQAQ , something like that so is not a number.
Here we save the pagetoken
if(isset($result['nextPageToken'])) { $_SESSION[nextToken]=$result['nextPageToken'];
}
if(isset($result['prevPageToken'])) { $_SESSION[prevToken]=$result['prevPageToken'];
}
we can then create our control button <>
$next=$_SESSION[nextToken];
$prev=$_SESSION[prevToken];
The control button here
<a href=”?ptk=<?php echo $prev?>” ><<prev</a>
<a href=”?ptk=<?php echo $next?>” >next>></a>
From here when user click link it set either next or prev page in session variable (go to up to see how this work)
To get video duration we use same Php curl
$videoDetails="https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=id,snippet,contentDetails,statistics,status&id=videoIdHere&key=yourApiKey";
$videoData = json_decode($return, true);
$duration = $videoData['items'][0]['contentDetails']['duration'];
$viewCount = $videoData['items'][0]['statistics']['viewCount'];
you may get something like this ('PT2H34M25S')
I have answer a question Here which show you how to convert the duration data

Video Search of YouTube API in
(http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2) You might have the
same result is returned if you specify a start-index.
feeds/api/videos?v=2&max-results=15&start-index=881
feeds/api/videos?v=2&max-results=15&start-index=981
When you run the API, such as described above, the same result is returned.
Could you tell me the reason?
It should return error since the maximum allowed number of videos to return is now 500
https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=4282#c6
If you run the below (less than index 501), it will return you different results
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&max-results=15&start-index=481
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&max-results=15&start-index=381
There are many REST API methods to check if a username is being used on Twitter but as far as I researched all of them are rate limited.
The reason I want this feature is to prevent someone from claiming a username on a website that someone else uses on Twitter, for example someone might claim a celebrity's username and confuse people.
It's impossible to use oauth in this scenario, since the user in this scenario might not be a Twitter user.
[150/hour rate limit is unacceptable. A possible solution would be to use Bing Search API to search for the username? - If Bing Search is not rate limited of course]
Try curl, here is minimal working script in php:
$url = "http://mobile.twitter.com/justinbieber";
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
$code = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if($code == 200)
{
echo "He is on twitter";
}
else
{
echo "He is on not twitter";
}
You should query mobile.twitter.com instead of real one, because real one doesn't do HTTP response codes. and few more reasons.
