Hello Ramco,

You need to add your channel id in parameter

var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3");
var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.Get);
request.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
request.AddParameter("q", "sports shorts");

//add this parameter
request.AddParameter("channelId", "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID");
.
.
.
//Rest of code

Thanks

If you wan for all videos. Then use below code.

Change the parametes as per your requirement. Ex you can remove publishedAfter param if you don't want it.

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

var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.Get);
request.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
request.AddParameter("q", "sports shorts");
request.AddParameter("type", "video");
request.AddParameter("maxResults", 50);
request.AddParameter("order", "viewCount");
request.AddParameter("videoDuration", "short");
var today = DateTime.Now.Date;
var sevenDaysAgo = today.AddDays(-1).ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ");
request.AddParameter("publishedAfter", sevenDaysAgo);
request.AddParameter("key", "API_KEY");

var response = client.Execute(request);

List listVideo = new List();

foreach (var data in response.Data?.items)
{
    var clientTag = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
    var tagRequest = new RestRequest("videos", Method.Get);
    tagRequest.AddParameter("key", "API_KEY");
    tagRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet,statistics");
    tagRequest.AddParameter("maxResults", 100);
    request.AddParameter("order", "viewCount");
    tagRequest.AddParameter("id", data.id.videoId);
    var tagResponse = clientTag.Execute(tagRequest);

    foreach (var item in tagResponse.Data.items)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("viewCount" + item.statistics.viewCount);
        Console.WriteLine("likeCount" + item.statistics.likeCount);
        Console.WriteLine("commentCount" + item.statistics.commentCount);

        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)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("CtegoryName " + categoryResponse.Data.Items[0].Snippet.Title);
        }
    }

}

Thanks

Hi Naimish

In Api Url i have deliberately written. It does not allow me to post.

Secondly i want to display all my Videos list

Thanks

Hello Ramco,

There are two issues with your code.
1. Correct the API url.
```
new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3")
```
2. You need to pass Video id in request as you are using Video api.

Thanks

Hi Naimish

Below is the code

foreach (var item in tagResponse.Data.items)

protected void MyOwnVideos()
{
    var clientTag = new RestClient("googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
    var tagRequest = new RestRequest("videos", Method.GET);
    tagRequest.AddParameter("key", "ApiKey");
    tagRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet,statistics");
    tagRequest.AddParameter("maxResults", 100);
    tagRequest.AddParameter("order", "viewCount");
    //tagRequest.AddParameter("id", "");
    var tagResponse = clientTag.Execute(tagRequest);

    foreach (var item in tagResponse.Data.items)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("viewCount" + item.statistics.viewCount);
        Console.WriteLine("likeCount" + item.statistics.likeCount);
        Console.WriteLine("commentCount" + item.statistics.commentCount);

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

Thanks

Hi Naimish

It is giving error - Object reference not set to an instance of the object. I want list of all my Videos.

var clientTag = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
var tagRequest = new RestRequest("videos", Method.GET);
tagRequest.AddParameter("key", "ApiKey8");
tagRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet,statistics");
tagRequest.AddParameter("maxResults", 100);
tagRequest.AddParameter("order", "viewCount");
//tagRequest.AddParameter("id", "");
var tagResponse = clientTag.Execute(tagRequest);

Thanks

Hello Ramco,

Use below code

var clientTag = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/");
var tagRequest = new RestRequest("videos", Method.Get);
tagRequest.AddParameter("key", "API_KEY");
tagRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet,statistics");
tagRequest.AddParameter("maxResults", 100);
request.AddParameter("order", "viewCount");
tagRequest.AddParameter("id", "");
var tagResponse = clientTag.Execute(tagRequest);

foreach (var item in tagResponse.Data.items)
{
    Console.WriteLine("viewCount" + item.statistics.viewCount);
    Console.WriteLine("likeCount" + item.statistics.likeCount);
    Console.WriteLine("commentCount" + item.statistics.commentCount);

    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)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("CtegoryName " + categoryResponse.Data.Items[0].Snippet.Title);
    }
}

Thanks
