YouTube API v3 - List uploaded videos

Question

How do I list the user's uploaded videos in the V3 api?

Answer 1

The first step is getting the channel id for that user. We can do this with request to the Channels service. Here's a JS example.

var request = gapi.client.youtube.channels.list({
  // mine: true indicates that we want to retrieve the channel for the authenticated user.
  mine: true,
  part: 'contentDetails'
});
request.execute(function(response) {
  playlistId = response.result.channels[0].contentDetails.uploads;
});

Once we get the playlist id we can use that to query for the list of uploaded videos from the PlaylistItems service.

var request = gapi.client.youtube.playlistItems.list({
  id: playlistId,
  part: 'snippet',
});
request.execute(function(response) {
  // Go through response.result.playlistItems to view list of uploaded videos.
});
