youtube-api - 「Vanity」チャンネルの Youtube チャンネル情報を取得する

Question

チャンネルの「バニティ URL」 (例: youtube.com/wheelockmarketing1 を指す youtube.com/wheelockcollege) が与えられた場合、チャンネルの詳細を取得する方法はありますか?

API の新しいバージョン 3 と最新の Python パッケージを使用しています。

Answer 1

最初に検索を使用している可能性があります：

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=wheelockcollege&type=channel&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

次に、チャネルIDを使用して、チャネルの詳細を取得できます。

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatistics&id=UC6ltI41W4P14NShIBHU8z1Q&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

この場合、結果は次のようになります。

{
 "kind": "youtube#channelListResponse",
 "etag": "\"PsChdkLfsD-u3yuH7KChIH1CRFg/fl8vHBnZ66nKyI7QvfTRQchTAAA\"",

 ]
}

最初の検索で複数の結果が返される場合は問題がありますが、それは良い戦略だと思います:)
