Youtube Video List

Hey,

Hope you're keeping well.

YouTube no longer supports the old top_rated and category feed URLs you’re referencing, so you’ll need to use the YouTube Data API v3 instead. In .NET, you can call Videos.list with parameters like chart=mostPopular, videoCategoryId for Entertainment (ID 24), and regionCode, then filter based on publishedAt for today. Use HttpClient in C# to hit https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos with your API key, deserialize the JSON via System.Text.Json, and bind the results to your UI. This approach is the only supported way to reliably fetch top-rated or most popular videos in a given category.

Thanks and regards,

Taz
