I am working on Youtube API v3 .. I was succeeded to get videos of a Youtube Channel. and then I was trying to get the thumbnail of a channel but couldn't be able to do that... can someone here have any solution for this ? I think the API doesn't return thumbnail of a channel
NOTE : I need the Thumbnail of a channel not the videos inside..
code:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=API_KEY&channelId=CHANNEL_ID&
part=snippet&order=date&maxResults=40

I need to use youtube username in a javascript script that retrieves data from youtube API with username
the problem is that this channel has a custom url in format:
https://www.youtube.com/c/myname
but from tutorial and video i found i need to get the user from a custom url like this
https://www.youtube.com/user/myname
since, as far as i know, is not possible to set an url and surname based on second url for newer channel how can i found the username?
any way to get it with API?
youtube.channels.list does NOT provide the username. you have to use Google+ API to get it.
tube_dl is the answer.
pip install tube_dl
This module is a great video downloader and youtube parser.
Here's the sample code:
from tube_dl import Youtube
yt = Youtube('your video id').channelUrl
For tube_dl documentation, visit Github Page of tube_dl
You can try out the Channels.list method on the YouTube Data API. You can pass the username and it will return the list of channels that said user have.
The YouTube Data API developer site has more information if you want to learn more about it.

Are you trying to find videos related to a video?
You can use search->list call for this with specifying the "relatedToVideoId"
And for anyone looking for a coded example:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&relatedToVideoId=5rOiW_xY-kc&type=video&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
