“I have to get the “uploads” playlist id from the channel result and then use the playlistitems endpoint to fetch the channel videos ids. It works fine but in the older api it was more clear just by using the GET channel videos endpoint.”

You are right, this logic followed by the original API. To reduce the number of requests, you could use a hack to get channel uploads playlist just replacing UC_xxx with UU_xxx in the channel ID (eg. UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw will be UU_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw), this transformed ID you can use with PlaylistItems: List API,

Request example:

GET /playlistItems?part=contentDetails,snippet&playlistId=UU_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw

Response example:

{
  ...,
  "items": [
    "contentDetails": {
      "videoId": "S2UJlbXDynw",
      "videoPublishedAt": "2024-02-22T17:00:20Z"
    },
    "snippet": {
      "publishedAt": "2024-02-22T17:00:20Z",
      "channelId": "UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw",
      "title": "How Archivi.ng is making news more accessible",
      ...,
    },
    ...,
  ]
}

After that, use videoId and title to list videos with their details, or add /videos request to get videos stats.

Hi, thank you for the fix!! I have now been able to test the API properly and it works perfectly. Just have a question about listing channel videos that is a bit confusing compared to the older API. I have to get the “uploads” playlist id from the channel result and then use the playlistitems endpoint to fetch the channel videos ids. It works fine but in the older api it was more clear just by using the GET channel videos endpoint. I am also wondering how to know if a video is a short or not, but I think thats not a problem of the API itself. I have tried to get the fileDetails and recordingDetails to get more info but it gives a permission error.

Hi! I’m so sorry to hear you were having trouble with that endpoint. It looks like we had an issue with our BASIC plan features, but I’m happy to let you know that we’ve now fixed it. Everything should be working as expected.
