Cannot provide chart as a parameter for youtube search API

I try to get youtube trending by country, based on youtube search API, I can set chart to 'mostPopular' which was supposed to return the trending video details, but it didn't work, and returned an error

enter image description here 

from googleapiclient.discovery import build

DEVELOPER_KEY = "XXXXXXXXX"
YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME = "youtube"
YOUTUBE_API_VERSION = "v3"


def youtube_search(max_results=5, order="relevance", token=None, location=None, location_radius=None,
                   regionCode=None):
    youtube = build(YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME, YOUTUBE_API_VERSION, developerKey=DEVELOPER_KEY)

    search_response = youtube.search().list(
        type="video",
        pageToken=token,
        order=order,
        part="id,snippet",  # Part signifies the different types of data you want
        chart="mostPopular",
        maxResults=max_results,
        location=location,
        locationRadius=location_radius,
        regionCode = regionCode,
        ).execute()

    print(search_response)

youtube_search(regionCode='IE')

Can anyone help?

Solution

  • chart is a parameter on the Videos resource, it is not available on the Search resource.
