I tried the API provided by Google but I never get the data joined field from the following.
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?alt=json&access_token={access_token}
{
id: "xxx12212121",
email: "[email protected]",
verified_email: true,
name: "name",
given_name: "given",
family_name: "family",
link: "",
picture: "",
gender: "male",
locale: "en"
}
I get user info from this.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=id&mine=true&access_token={access_token}
{
kind: "youtube#channelListResponse",
etag: ""m2yskBQFythfE4irbTIeOgYYfBU/z1gqFgh3CSk3IPqbcioKrdSLWC8"",
pageInfo: {
totalResults: 1,
resultsPerPage: 1
},
items: [
{
kind: "youtube#channel",
etag: ""m2yskBQFythfE4irbTIeOgYYfBU/ZhbI7F3l_8IFIKdqr4bM1ypv-vI"",
id: "UCaWN2zhl0zuSdZWW11WcYGg"
}
]
}
I get the channel id from this.
What should I include to get the date the YouTube user started or joined?
Information in the YouTube API is organized in so-called parts. In your example, you requested the id part of the channel resource. The property you seek is contained in the snippet part and is called publishedAt.
So your URL should look like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=id,snippet&mine=true&access_token=ACCESS_TOKEN
Notice that you can request multiple parts by comma-separating them. This will get you the following result:
