I can get content owner report from this tesing url below (section Try it)
https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/
ids = contentOwner=={MycontentOwner}
start-date = 2013-05-01
end-date = 2013-05-31
metrics = views
dimensions = day
filters = claimedStatus==claimed
sort = day
But I can't get report by channel
ids = channel=={Mychannel}
start-date = 2013-05-01
end-date = 2013-05-31
metrics = views
dimensions = day
sort = day
Get error below.
400 Bad Request

content owner is name that show on cms , channel is user name on youtube website. right?
On youtube analytics report, there is Mychannel in Content Owner account . But why I can't get data from Mychannel via tesing url (section Try it)?
Edit:
I think ,I knew it. channel==CHANNEL_ID, where CHANNEL_ID specifies the unique channel ID for your channel. The value is currently a string that begins with the letters UC, though its format is subject to change. (You can retrieve your channel's ID using the YouTube Data API's channels.list method.)
I have another way to get channel report.
ids = contentOwner=={MycontentOwner}
filter = channel=MychannelID
Thank you.
You can ask for your channels list using the following code:
var request = gapi.client.youtube.channels.list({
mine: 'true',
part: 'contentDetails,id',
metrics: 'views,comments,favoritesAdded,favoritesRemoved,likes,dislikes,shares'
});

I want a way to get YouTube shorts for a specific channel from YouTube API. I looked every where and I couldn't find anything.
Currently I can get a playlist ID for all channel videos with this endpoint:
request = youtube.channels().list(
part="contentDetails",
id=id
)
I also tried these parameters:
request = youtube.channels().list(
part="snippet,contentDetails,statistics,brandingSettings",
id=id
)
So is there a way to get YouTube shorts from a specific channel from YouTube API or any other source if it's available.
One way of detecting if a YouTube video ID is a Short without even using the API is to try a HEAD HTTP request to the /shorts/ version of the URL and see if it redirects you.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hKwrn5-7FjQ is a Short and if you visit that URL, you'll get an HTTP status code of 200 and the URL won't change.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-s71n0dHUk is not a Short, and if you visit https://www.youtube.com/shorts/B-s71n0dHUk, you get a 303 redirect back to the original URL.
Keep in mind, that this behavior might change down the line, but it works as of May 2022.
It seems that once again YouTube Data API v3 doesn't provide a basic feature.
For checking if a given video is a short:
I would recommend you to use my open-source YouTube operational API. Indeed by requesting the JSON document https://yt.lemnoslife.com/videos?part=short&id=VIDEO_ID containing item["short"]["available"] boolean, your problem is solved.
Example of short id: ydPkyvWtmg4
For listing shorts of a channel:
I would recommend you to use my open-source YouTube operational API. Indeed by requesting the JSON document https://yt.lemnoslife.com/channels?part=shorts&id=CHANNEL_ID. The entry item["shorts"] contains the data you are looking for. Note that the pagination works as the one of YouTube Data API v3.
Example of result for channel UC5O114-PQNYkurlTg6hekZw:
{
"kind": "youtube#channelListResponse",
"etag": "NotImplemented",
"items": [
{
"kind": "youtube#channel",
"etag": "NotImplemented",
"id": "UC5O114-PQNYkurlTg6hekZw",
"shorts": [
{
"videoId": "fP8nKVauFwc",
"title": "India: United Nations Counter Terrorism Committee Watch LIVE #shorts",

"width": 720,
"height": 720
}
],
"viewCount": 3700
},
...
],
"nextPageToken": "4qmFsgLlARIYVUM1TzExNC1QUU5Za3VybFRnNmhla1p3GsgBOGdhU0FScVBBVktNQVFxSEFRcGZRME00VVVGU2IyWnZaMWxqUTJob1ZsRjZWbEJOVkVVd1RGWkNVbFJzYkhKa1dFcHpWa2RqTW1GSFZuSlhibU5SUVZOSlVrTm5PSGhQYWtVeVRtcGplVTE2VlRST2FrVXdUbXBCY1VSUmIweFhWRUl5VGtab1dGSllSbGRNVmtVU0pEWXpOakJoTkRVNUxUQXdNREF0TWpKaE15MDRObUV6TFdRMFpqVTBOMlZqWVRSbFl4Z0I=,CgtuNjFmZlJlR0QxcyiVgICbBg=="
}
]
}
Below is a sample python code to send the HEAD HTTP request.
import requests
def is_short(vid):
url = 'https://www.youtube.com/shorts/' + vid
ret = requests.head(url)
if ret.status_code == 200:
return True
else: # whether 303 or other values, it's not short
return False
I don't know why but I don't get status code 303 whether it's a short or not with axios. So this is another way of checking if it's a short or not.
const isShort = async (videoId) => {
const url = "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/" + videoId
const res = await axios.head(url)
console.log(res.request.res.responseUrl)
// if it's a short it ends with "/shorts/videoId"
// if it's NOT a short it ends "/watch?=videoId"
}
Maybe axios automatically redirects?
You can use the new dimension called 'creatorContentType' from Youtube Analytics and Reports API.
// You can get IDs from PlaylistItems or Search API
const IDs = ["videoID1", "videoID2", "videoID3"];
// Get the analytics data of selected videos based on their IDs
const { data: analyticsData } = await youtubeAnalytics.reports.query({
ids: "channel==MINE",
startDate: "2019-01-01",
// Today's date
endDate: new Date().toISOString().split("T")[0],
metrics: "views",
dimensions: "video,creatorContentType",
filters: `video==${IDs.join(",")}`,
access_token,
});
It basically returns values listed below:
Value
Description
LIVE_STREAM
The viewed content was a YouTube live stream.
SHORTS
The viewed content was a YouTube Short.
STORY
The viewed content was a YouTube Story.
VIDEO_ON_DEMAND
The viewed content was a YouTube video that does not fall under one of the other dimension values.
UNSPECIFIED
The content type of the viewed content is unknown.
Notes:
Don't forget it returns values just for the videos uploaded after 01.01.2019.
Don't forget to add analytics scopes and enable Analytics and Reports API.
I'm building an app that based on user's choice connects to youtube api and get's list of videos of certain playlist.
I would like to make it safe to use and if the status is not 200, make it impossible for the next screen to show.
The JSON result from my request does not return any information on the status other than privacy status (similarly, if I get data for a video not a playlist I get detailed information) :
var urlString = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&maxResults=500&playlistId=\(playlistId)&key=XXXXX"
"status":{
"privacyStatus":"public"
}
How do I verify that the request for the playlist is valid?
Thanks!
I have not found a reliable way to test the YT api status, so I generally will look for results from the call that should be there. And if they are not there (i.e. empty or '0' ) , then it is normally a failed call.
So [totalResults] and/or [title] as example.
There are two parts here.
You need to determine if the actual HTTP request was successful or not (that is the request to https://googleapis/youtube/v3/[method]?[parameters])
You have a specific requirement where you need to handle cases where there is no data. The response from the API itself will not explicitly provide this to you, instead you need to define what failure means.
With this in mind, you could implement two levels of checks:
Check 1 - HTTP status code
The first level would check the HTTP status code (200 = OK, 400 = Bad Request, etc.).
If your API request returns a status of 200, you can move on to the next level of checks (see Check 2). However, if your API request returns a status of 400, then the request has failed and no further checks are required (or necessary).
Note: If you do get a 400 status, there is some JSON in the response which contains detailed information regarding the error.
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "youtube.parameter",
"reason": "missingRequiredParameter",
"message": "No filter selected. Expected one of: id, playlistId",
"locationType": "parameter",
"location": ""
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "No filter selected. Expected one of: id, playlistId"
}
}
Check 2 - Data
The second level would check to see if any results have been returned (as it seems possible to have a HTTP status code of 200 and no results).
This has nothing to do with the status of the actual HTTP request itself. Instead you have to check the response to see if the data you application requires is present or not.
With the example of a 200 response below, the items array is empty. So you could say that even though the request was successful, this is a failure condition and not show your next screen.
{
"kind": "youtube#playlistItemListResponse",
"etag": "\"[etag would appear here]\"",
"nextPageToken": "CAAQAA",
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 199,
"resultsPerPage": 0
},
"items": [
]
}
Note: The above is an example where the results per page was purposely set to 0.
I want to get list of videos of a particular YouTube channel.
I followed this SO answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/20795628/5383573
Every time I am getting
400 Bad Request
Suppose I want to get all the video of NDTV Channel.
Its YouTube url is https://www.youtube.com/user/ndtv/videos
I went to this URL https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlists/list
Fill the boxes as
Part: NDTV
Channel ID:ndtv
Max Result: 50
and click Execute
It gives me Request as
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlists?part=ndtv&channelId=ndtv&maxResults=50&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
And response
400 Bad Request
{
"error": {
"errors": [

"reason": "unknownPart",
"message": "ndtv",
"locationType": "parameter",
"location": "part"
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "ndtv"
}
}
How can I get all the videos in JSON response?
Sorry for my bad English.
Any help will be appreciated.Thanks in advance
Playlists: list has five valid parts
The list below contains the part names that you can include in the
parameter value and the quota cost for each part: contentDetails: 2
id: 0 player: 0 snippet: 2 status: 2
A your error message states ndtv is not valid part. NDTV is also not a valid channel id. A channel id looks like this UCtb0gXU-ht24V_fgeXGGjwA
The easest way tof ind the channel id is to check YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtb0gXU-ht24V_fgeXGGjwA
NDTV has 3 featured channels, those with channel_id
UCZFMm1mMw0F81Z37aaEzTUA,UC9CYT9gSNLevX5ey2_6CK0Q,UCf9StUUEcbRpbvpdKx5eS_g
The following GET requests will return json response.
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlists?part=snippet&channelId={ndtv_channel_id}
replace ndtv_channel_id with the channel id.
I want to get more than 50 youtube video results corresponding to topic id ........so i am trying to get next page token.......
in youtube api v3 in android
and url used is....
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=id,snippet&order=relevancee&topicId="+topicId+"&q="+videoId+"&key="
but the error giving is......
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "youtube.parameter",
"reason": "missingRequiredParameter",
"message": "No filter selected.",
"locationType": "parameter",
"location": ""

"message": "No filter selected."
}
}
You should set type = video
Whenever you are using a video specific filter you have to filter type as well. As search is unified, otherwise it normally returns playlist, channel and videos as a result.
You can always try your queries in API explorer before implementing.
I'm trying to insert a channel banner using the YouTube v3 Data API. I'm using the .net client library. This documentation calls for a 3 step process.
Upload new banner
Extract new banner url from upload response
Set bannerExternalUrl to extracted url and call channel update.
My problem is with step 2. If I check the returned url is null. I've double check in Fiddler that the json response does not contain a Url property or value.
Anyone have an idea on how do the banner upload? Thanks!
var channelBannerResource = new ChannelBannerResource();
var insertMediaUpload = _serviceV3.ChannelBanners.Insert(channelBannerResource, new FileStream("C:\\banner1.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read), "image/png");
insertMediaUpload.Oauth_token = _accessToken;
var result = insertMediaUpload.Upload();
//banner Url returns null
var bannerUrl = insertMediaUpload.ResponseBody.Url;
Not too sure but, Check this link out (if you haven't already)
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channelBanners
Your code looks OK on a quick look
One thing to watch out for The image must have a 16:9 aspect ratio and be at least 2120x1192 pixels.
Update
OK, it appears that you haven't called the channels update method. Something like this
Channel updateChannelResponse = youtube.channels()
.update("god knows what parameter(s) here")
Check this link out for more details:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/update
Recon after you call this method the URL should be there...I recon...
Update 2...
Yeah your right, I tried the api explorer but couldn't get that to work either:
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.channelBanners.insert?_h=2&resource=%257B%250A++%2522url%2522%253A+%2522http%253A%252F%252Ffr.upphotos.net%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2013%252F05%252FFerrari-HD-Widescreen-Large.jpg%2522%250A%257D&
But unfortunately get an error response, weird thing is it's complaining about the 'part' parameter but there is none...could this be a bug in the API, can't imagine many people using this functionality
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "youtube.part",
"reason": "unexpectedPart",
"message": "contentDetails",
"locationType": "parameter",
"location": "part"
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "contentDetails"
}
}
I was expecting this insert to give the URL, fresh out of ideas here.
