This URL is a "direct" link to a video. I'm unsure how these URLs are handled and how they came to be. I assumed it was from Google Drive or Google Photos, but I can't seem to get the same URL format from a quick video I uploaded onto Google Drive/Photo.
Does anyone know how this URL is generated and maintained?
If you go to your normal video link–URL with the format https://drive.google.com/file/d/XXXXID/view/, you can right click twice in a row and click "Copy Video Address", and it will get you the link in that format.
Note that these links are temporary and IP-locked, so it won't work forever or on another device.

So, I have read numerous sites and a bunch of code that can find "the newest video" uploaded or Published, but NONE of them show how to format a URL LINK to just open THAT most recent video in a new tab/window and PLAY it.
I am missing something, obviously, and would love direction and help.
Here is the code that locates the correct video listing...
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId=Myin&maxResults=1&order=date&type=video&key=MyinAlso
And it literally shows up in a new tab, but just white code on a black background - NO VIDEO.
I would love this URL to just open and play that Newest uploaded/streamed video.
I have tried appending "watch?v=" with such items as "playnext=1&index=1", "videos.xml?channel_id=Myin&orderedby=published&playnext=1&index=1" and many other variations of these and other switches/directories/commands - all as links only.
By channel, playlist {when correct one is chosen} works using some variation - but - the newest Live uploaded video only exists in a non-existent list under "/streams", named or "filtered" as "Recently Uploaded" on the "LIVE" tab, or also in another non-existent List/category on the "Home" tab, named "Past Live Streams".
I just want a link that I never have to change, to play the Most Recently Uploaded Live video. This should NOT be this hard and frustrating.
I'm trying to open a .rar file but it has password and it's in the description of a video on Youtube but when I checked the link again it was private and I don't remember the channel's name, so I just want to know if there's a way to find this channel because I just wanna ask to the user if I could have the password. This is the url if it helps, thanks.

I typed "6rTPvftDHtQ" on Google in order to have only webpages containing exactly 6rTPvftDHtQ.
I let you find more details about the other interesting result except this StackOverflow post. The video gaming creator Mataraxu posted the URL of the video as a comment of a Facebook post and the post shares this YouTube channel URL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1OnhcSrtZcaI4cgKAfsxsw. If he isn't the man you are looking for, I let you ask him more details.
I WebArchived the webpage from the Google cache because his Facebook webpage doesn't seem to contain anymore this post (and comment), I let you delve this result.
By the way don't hesitate to check your web-browser history as you said that you already went to the video webpage. Maybe with luck you also went on the main webpage of the YouTube channel and then in the URL you would have its name or id.
As far as I know there is no way to do that. One hope would be the waybackmachine, but that has no snapshot of this video page either. So unfortunately you won't be able to search him I guess.
Best Regards!
I see YouTube app updated new function to share videos with the url like this:
https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=8A940MXKFmQ
My app is using YouTube API/videos/list to get video informations and it required the Video ID field.
How can we get youtube video id from the url above.
Thanks
This is maybe not a good way to do it, but since there seems to be no API for that, check this:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/commit/4080530624eda994d535e1a01c38ddd6d9aa3805
What they do is fetching the content and search for the meta tag with the name videoId. Again: Not a good way, maybe this approach stops working in a month or a year or maybe never.
I'm working with Adobe DPS buttons and currently have set up Facebook and Twitter sharing with them. The buttons take a URL and when clicked pull up the share dialogue.
The Facebook taking the following
http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=(encoded url goes here)
The encoded url being whatever I want to share.
I want to be able to do this with Houzz.
I've found the page on Houzz.com but I don't think I would be able to use this type of URL share option based on what they provided.
http://www.houzz.com/buttonsAndBadges#houzzbutton
Has anyone seen an option for Houzz similar to Facebook's?
After digging through Houzz's bookmarklet, I've found their somewhat difficult-to-pin-down sharer URL.
http://www.houzz.com/imageClipperUpload?imageUrl=(IMAGE-URL-HERE)&title=(PAGE-TITLE-HERE)&link=(PAGE-URL-HERE)
Just as a quick reminder: an image URL is required (unlike Facebook or Twitter, but somewhat like Pinterest) as one of the main points of Houzz is image sharing/scrapbooking.
I hope this helped someone!
I want to be able to share images from my app on twitter/facebook/email etc..
There's probably hundreds of different ways to do this which is quite simple.
However what I need/want to do, is allow the images to be opened by other people straight into my app (If they have it installed).
So I have a url scheme so a url will open my app with an image like this:
myurlscheme://image?url=http://imageurl.com
The problem I have, is the process for uploading the image, but adding my url scheme to the beginning of the url.
If I could know the url twitter/facebook is going to use before I send the tweet, I could add my url scheme to the front of the image url and put it in the tweet. I'm guessing this might not be possible though.
Another thought is to upload the image to another service, get the url, then compose and send the tweet. Are there any suitable services for doing this? (Preferably free services) I dont really want to have to host the images myself.
Thanks
1) I don't see how you plan on conjuring an image URL before you upload the image - that is a chicken/egg situation. I would recommend taking a look at an actual image URL after you upload it to facebook, twitter, etc and try to figure out even one character of what it would be for the next image you upload. Regarding twitter specifically the image URL is also going to vary depending on what upload service is being used.
2) regarding uploading the image and getting the URL why not look into tapping into the flickr API?
