Shorts Sports Youtube Video Details

To get videos that have been published in the last 2 days, you can use the publishedAfter parameter of the YouTube Data API. This parameter specifies the earliest date and time that a video could have been published to be included in the API response. The value is specified in RFC 3339 format.

You can calculate the date for 2 days ago in C# and convert it to the RFC 3339 format. Here’s how you can modify your code:

var client = new RestClient("youtube/v3");
var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.GET);
request.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
request.AddParameter("q", "sports shorts");
request.AddParameter("maxResults", "100");
request.AddParameter("type", "video");
request.AddParameter("order", "viewCount");
request.AddParameter("videoDuration", "short");

// Calculate the date for 2 days ago
DateTime twoDaysAgo = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-2);

// Convert the date to RFC 3339 format
string publishedAfter = twoDaysAgo.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'");

request.AddParameter("publishedAfter", publishedAfter);

This will return videos that match your query and have been published in the last 2 days.

Please note that you need to replace "youtube/v3" with the actual base URL of the YouTube Data API v3, which is "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3".

Also, remember to include your API key in the request:

request.AddParameter("key", "YOUR_API_KEY");

Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your actual API key. If you don’t have an API key, you can create one in the Google Cloud Console.

Thanks

Hi Ramco,

try following

using RestSharp;
using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        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("maxResults", "100");
        request.AddParameter("type", "video");
        request.AddParameter("order", "date");
        request.AddParameter("publishedAfter", DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-2).ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ")); // Videos published in the last 2 days
        request.AddParameter("videoDuration", "short");

        // Add your YouTube Data API key here
        request.AddParameter("key", "YOUR_API_KEY");

        IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
        if (response.IsSuccessful)
        {
            Parse response JSON to extract descriptions and search keywords
            Here you'll need to use a JSON parser library like Newtonsoft.Json
            Example:
            dynamic responseData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Content);
            foreach (var item in responseData.items)
            {
                string description = item.snippet.description;
                string keywords = item.snippet.tags;
                Console.WriteLine("Description: " + description);
                Console.WriteLine("Keywords: " + keywords);
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Success");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Error : " + response.ErrorMessage);
        }
    }
}

var client = new RestClient("youtube/v3");

// Function to get video details including description (using videoId)
async Task GetVideoDetails(string videoId)
{
  var detailsRequest = new RestRequest("videos", Method.GET);
  detailsRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
  detailsRequest.AddParameter("id", videoId);
  var detailsResponse = await client.ExecuteAsync(detailsRequest);
  
  if (detailsResponse.IsSuccessful && detailsResponse.Data.items.Count > 0)
  {
    return detailsResponse.Data.items[0].snippet.description.ToString();
  }
  else
  {
    return "Description unavailable";
  }
}

// Search request with parameters for recently published shorts
var searchRequest = new RestRequest("search", Method.GET);
searchRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
searchRequest.AddParameter("q", "sports shorts"); // Include "shorts"
searchRequest.AddParameter("maxResults", "100");
searchRequest.AddParameter("type", "video");
searchRequest.AddParameter("order", "viewCount");
searchRequest.AddParameter("videoDuration", "short");
searchRequest.AddParameter("publishedAfter", DateTime.UtcNow.Subtract(TimeSpan.FromDays(2)).ToString("yyyy-MM-DD"));

// This code retrieves video IDs and titles from the search
var searchResponse = client.Execute(searchRequest);

// Loop through search results
foreach (var item in searchResponse.Data.items)
{
  if (item.id.kind == "youtube#video") // Check if it's a video
  {
    var videoId = item.id.videoId;
    var title = item.snippet.title;

    // Call GetVideoDetails function to get description asynchronously
    var descriptionTask = GetVideoDetails(videoId);
    string description = await descriptionTask;

    Console.WriteLine($"Title: {title}");
    Console.WriteLine($"Description: {description}");
  }
