I'm trying to use the Youtube Data API to grab the list of currently gaming related live streams but I can't find any endpoint that fit what I need and return the number of viewers for each of those channels.
Do you guys have any idea of how I could manage to do that ?
Thanks.
List of gaming live streams:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&eventType=live&type=video&videoCategoryId=20®ionCode=US&maxResults=50&key={YOUR_API_KEY_HERE}
videoCategoryId=20 is "Gaming"
Getting the live stream details (like viewer numbers):
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet%2CliveStreamingDetails&id={VIDEO_ID_HERE}&fields=items(id%2Csnippet(title%2CliveBroadcastContent)%2CliveStreamingDetails%2FconcurrentViewers)&key={YOUR_API_KEY_HERE}
Substitue the parts of these links that are in {} with your appropriate values.

I want to get search keywords from traffic source of video using Youtube Data Api.
I can already view 8-10 on the Dashboard, but most of the time, the video is in 1000 views and although I see 7-8, the api returns empty or only takes one. how can i solve this problem? I will be glad if you help.
I tried Analytics and Reporting APIs separately. And there are questions and answers which deals with them separately. But I want to know is there any single one shot API which gives both? The total number of videos means all the videos irrespective of the playlists. I'm doing this with ReactJS for my own portfolio website.
I did some more research on this. I couldn't find a full fledged api with documentation but you can use this:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=your-channel-id&key=your-api-key
Make sure you've that api enabled. I'm using Youtube Analytics.
I want to get the number of live views and number of likes of the Live Broadcast while it is live. We plan to get this information in our project.
I take a look at the reference but I could not see any field about that in the Youtube Live Streaming API documentation
Am I looking at the wrong place or number of live views is not available in the API?
I've found that videos endpoint provides statistics for that
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list
We plan to use live views and live chats for distributing the live stream to social media(Youtube, Facebook, Periscope)
I am currently creating a youtube downloader and I have the code to retrieve video thumbnails, however I want to find out a way to retrieve the video title and possibly the video size etc. If anyone can help please answer :D
I would concider you use version 3 of the Youtube API. I don't suggest parsing the html of a youtube page, you never know when they will change the format and you'll be downloading too much information. The API is much more stable.
If you look at the video section .
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=BaW_jenozKc&part=snippet
(I can't test it on this computer)
By changing the part (or adding multiple part) you can get all the information you need about a video. Since the result is returned in json, you can use it with pretty much any programming language.
Also, read the Gettting Started. Youtube limits the number of query unless you register your application and get a developper key.
You need to read the .NET YouTube API documentation, specifically the YouTube API v2.0 – Retrieving Data for a Single Video section.
You will need to query for a single video by the video's ID and then the pieces of data in the ATOM feed that comes back to you are:
feed/entry/Title for the title of the video
feed/entry/media:group/yt:duration for the length of the video
There does not appear to be a value returned for the size of the video, however.
Try the youtube API:-
https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=BaW_jenozKc
It should return something along the lines of:-
"&title=youtube-dl+test+video+%22%27%2F%5C%C3%A4%E2%86%AD%F0%9D%95%90".

How can I efficiently retrieve a list of channels that a Vimeo video is listed in from the Advanced Vimeo API?
The Advanced Vimeo API provides the methods channels.addVideo and channels.removeVideo for managing the channels a video belongs to. Also, the channels.getVideos method is provided for retrieving the list of videos belonging to a channel.
However, there is no videos.getChannels method. This means that in order to find all the channels a video is included in one would need to call channels.getVideos (possibly more than once if the channel has more than 50 videos) for each channel of interest. This seems terribly inefficient.
From what I have seen so far it has not been implemented into v1, but will be added into v2. I am still looking to see if there is an alternative
edit*
take a look at this page because they have this method vimeo.channels.getAll
VIMEO
I know this will get you a list of channels, from there I dont know if you can compare that to the video to make a list of channels that the video is in. I'm still looking.
