Hello Ramco,

Please correct API  URL

 var clientCategory = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
                       

var categoryId = item.snippet.categoryId;
                     var clientCategory = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
                    var categoryRequest = new RestRequest("videoCategories", Method.GET);
                    categoryRequest.AddParameter("key", "ApiKey8");
                    categoryRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
                    categoryRequest.AddParameter("id", categoryId);
                    var categoryResponse = clientCategory.Execute(categoryRequest);
                    if (categoryResponse.Data?.Items != null)
                    {
                        htmlTable.Append("");
                        //Console.WriteLine(categoryResponse.Data.Items[0].Snippet.Title);
                    }

Hi Naimish

 I have below code but it is not going in If condition

var categoryId = item.snippet.categoryId;
                    var clientCategory = new RestClient("googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
                    var categoryRequest = new RestRequest("videoCategories", Method.GET);
                    categoryRequest.AddParameter("key", "ApiKey8");
                    categoryRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
                    categoryRequest.AddParameter("id", categoryId);
                    var categoryResponse = clientCategory.Execute(categoryRequest);
                    if (categoryResponse.Data?.Items != null)
                    {
                        htmlTable.Append("
");
                        //Console.WriteLine(categoryResponse.Data.Items[0].Snippet.Title);
                    }
Thanks

Hello Ramco,

To display category name you want to use videoCategories api as below

foreach (var item in orderByVideosCount)
    {
// Get the category name for the video
var categoryId = item.snippet.categoryId;
var clientCategory = new RestClient("googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
var categoryRequest = new RestRequest("videoCategories", Method.Get);
categoryRequest.AddParameter("key", "ApiKey");
categoryRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
categoryRequest.AddParameter("id", categoryId);
var categoryResponse = clientCategory.Execute(categoryRequest);

if (categoryResponse.Data?.Items != null)
{

	Console.WriteLine(categoryResponse.Data.Items[0].Snippet.Title);
}

VideoCategoryListResponse class

public class VideoCategoryListResponse
{
    public string Kind { get; set; }
    public string Etag { get; set; }
    public List Items { get; set; }
}

public class VideoCategory
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public VideoCategorySnippet Snippet { get; set; }
}

public class VideoCategorySnippet
{
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public bool Assignable { get; set; }
    public string ChannelId { get; set; }
}


Then you can get like this:

Console.WriteLine(categoryResponse.Data.Items[0].Snippet.Title);

Thanks
