List my own Youtube Videos

Hi

  I have below code to list my own videos but it is saying No Data Found. In allitems it is showing Count = 0

        protected void MyOwnVideos()
        {
            StringBuilder htmlTable = new StringBuilder();

            var client = new RestClient("googleapis.com/youtube/v3");
            var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.GET);
            request.AddParameter("part", "snippet");

            request.AddParameter("type", "video");

            request.AddParameter("channelId", "_nNoaVw");
            request.AddParameter("key", "AIzaSyFG8");

            List allItems = new List();

            IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);


            htmlTable.Append("");
            htmlTable.Append("");
            htmlTable.Append("");

            foreach (var data in allItems.OrderBy(x => x.snippet.publishedAt))
            {
}
Thanks

The issue you're encountering (Count = 0 in allItems) likely stems from one or more of the following problems:


	
The URL for the YouTube Data API should be https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search, not just googleapis.com/youtube/v3.
	
Check that the channelId you are using is correct. You can verify it by visiting your YouTube channel and checking the URL or using the API to fetch your channel details.
	
Check that your API key is valid, has the correct permissions (YouTube Data API enabled), and is not restricted to specific IP addresses or referrers.
	
The maxResults parameter is optional but defaults to 5. If you want more results, specify a higher value (e.g., maxResults=50).

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

        IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

        // Check if the response contains data
        if (response.Data == null || response.Data.items == null || response.Data.items.Count == 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("No Data Found. Please check your channelId and API key.");
            return;
        }

        htmlTable.Append("");
        htmlTable.Append("");

        foreach (var data in response.Data.items.OrderBy(x => x.snippet.publishedAt))
        {
            htmlTable.Append("");
            htmlTable.Append($"");
            htmlTable.Append($"");

        htmlTable.Append("

        // Output the HTML table
        Console.WriteLine(htmlTable.ToString());

1. Changed the base URL to https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3.

2. Check the channelId is correct. You can find it by:

   • Visiting your YouTube channel page.
   • Checking the URL or using the API to fetch your channel details.

3. Check the API key is valid and has access to the YouTube Data API.

   • Test the API key by making a simple request in a browser:

     https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&type=video&channelId=UC_nNoaVw&key=YOUR_API_KEY

      

4. Added a check to ensure the response contains data before proceeding.

5. Fixed the loop to iterate over response.Data.items instead of an empty allItems list.

6. Added maxResults=50 to fetch up to 50 videos per request.

7. Test your API key with a simple GET request in your browser or Postman

   • https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&type=video&channelId=UC_nNoaVw&key=YOUR_API_KEY

      

8. Use the following API endpoint to fetch your channel details and confirm the channelId:

   https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=id&mine=true&key=YOUR_API_KEY

    

9. Log the raw response from the API to debug any issues: 

   Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
