How to get data of a youtube playlist in JSON format using JavaScript API V3
There are a number of sample applications for the Javascript v3 client library that can be found here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/javascript
The call you are probably after is PlaylistItems:list and can be seen here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems/list
and can be called using:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&id=YOUR-PLAYLIST-ID&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
Something along these lines will get details of the first 50 records in a specified playlist using the Javascript client library. The result is stored in the response object.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>YouTube</title>
</head>
<body>
<script>
function onGoogleLoad() {
gapi.client.setApiKey('{YOUR-API-KEY}');
gapi.client.load('youtube', 'v3', function() {
var request = gapi.client.youtube.playlistItems.list({
part: 'snippet',
playlistId: '{PLAYLIST-ID-HERE}',
maxResults: 50
});
request.execute(function(response) {
for (var i = 0; i < response.items.length; i++) {
console.log(response.items[i].snippet.title + " published at " + response.items[i].snippet.publishedAt)
}
});
});
}
</script>
<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=onGoogleLoad"></script>
</body>
</html>
