Get trending (mostPopular) channels and playlist of Youtube based on region

As I know we have a Youtube API to get trending youtube videos based on a region by using below API detail:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list and giving chart=mostPopular.

I have a similar requirement:

1). To get trending channels and playlist of youtube based on region.

2). Get users video history details.

I tried searching but couldn't get much details over it. Please let me know if anyone worked over it.

Solution

  • You can use search.list:

    type

    • The type parameter restricts a search query to only retrieve a particular type of resource. The value is a comma-separated list of resource types. The default value is video,channel,playlist.

    regionCode

    • The regionCode parameter instructs the API to return search results for the specified country. The parameter value is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.

    order

    • The order parameter specifies the method that will be used to order resources in the API response. The default value is relevance.
    • rating – Resources are sorted from highest to lowest rating.

    This may be the closest thing to what you want to achieve. You set type to channel or playlist, regionCode based on the region, and order to rating (closest to trending). Currently there are no regionCode, mostPopular parameters in Channels: list or Playlists: list

    Hope this helps.
