I would like to know if there is anyway I can set the first three videos to be shown as recommended videos for a particular video feed using youtube api.
That's not something that you can control using the YouTube API. There are no plans that I'm aware of to add in that functionality.

Youtube added the ability to break up their videos in the progress bar into sections called "chapters". As seen here Video Chapters
I would like to post a video via API and add chapters, I have not been able to find any documentation or example in the API about this.
This method is not currently available in the YouTube Data api, it appears to just be part of YouTube studio.
YOu may want to add a feature request maybe its something they will add to the api.
Can i with youtube api explore videos without added search keyword e.g. popular videos per country,new videos,last comments videos or something like that where i can get videos without added search keyword ?
You can check out the Video Feeds developer guide to search for most popular videos and other feeds. You can also limit it to a certain user, country, etc.
In v3, you can use chart=mostPopular option of youtube.search.list.

If you want to get TOP 10 videos in Geographic areas, 7DayTotals, 30DayTotals, ..., you can use dimensions of YouTube Analytics API.

I'm trying to add videos to an existing ASP.NET MVC site, and I'd like to show videos from our YouTube channel.
I have added a tag to each video to indicate what page it should appear on. I had thought that I could search our channel by tag on each page to render the relevant video on that page.
I'm trying to exclusively use the API v3, but it seems I can't do this.
I can't use developer tags, because videos are uploaded by multiple users using the standard YouTube front end. This seems like basic functionality, so I'm assuming it's my inexperience with this API.
As an example, our YouTube channel is ChillinWithCharlie. During development, one video is tagged 20141213Cheneys.
I can get all videos in our channel, but is there a way to query the v3 API to retrieve just this video?
I've seen one suggestion here that I retrieve all videos, and filter in code. This feels inefficient, so I'd rather not do this, but I can't even see where the tag is returned with all channel videos, that I could interrogate in code.
It's not just you. There seems to be no specific query parameter to search by tag with API v3.
I would recommend doing a search with your tag in the 'q' (search) parameter, then checking the results to see if the tag exists in the returned snippet->tags property to verify the exact video.
Note YouTube tags are only visible to the video's uploader.

I am trying to preload several videos from a YouTube playlist, which is embedded as a single frame. Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks so much for your help!
What do you mean by "preload"?
Unfortunately, AFAIK, YouTube API doesn't provide any functionality which allows users to fetch contents manually.
When using the YouTube api to query and retrieve videos, is there a way to limit results only official content? I want to retrieve the new music videos for certain artists but I want to make sure I am only receiving real videos and not UGC stuff. Can this be accomplished? Thank you.
There is no search parameter that ensures that you only get back "real" music videos. (And the line between a "real" video and user-generated content isn't always clear.)
