Get Tags of Video

Question

Hi

How we can get Tags of Youtube video. I am using below code

using (var yt = new YouTubeService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
{
    ApiKey = "Api Key8",
}))
{
    StringBuilder htmlTable = new StringBuilder();

    var request = yt.Search.List("snippet");
    request.Order = Google.Apis.YouTube.v3.SearchResource.ListRequest.OrderEnum.ViewCount;

    request.MaxResults = 10;
    var response = request.Execute();
    var objResult = response.Items.ToList();

Thanks

new Program() .GetTags(searchResult.Id.VideoId); //Get video Tags. Instead of new Program() you need to use your class name : ex If GetTags method is inside class ABC than you need to write like new ABC().GetTags(searchResult.Id.VideoId); Thanks

Hi naimish It is giving message The type or namespace name program does not exist. new Program().GetTags(searchResult.Id.VideoId); //Get video Tags. I am using Web based Asp.net c# Thanks

Hello Ramco, For most viewed videos, It is not possible. But you can call given method in the response of most viewed videos response and by that way you can active what you want. EX: In last ans: foreach (var searchResult in searchListResponse.Items) { switch (searchResult.Id.Kind) { case "youtube#video": videos.Add(String.Format("{0} ({1})", searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.VideoId)); // break; case "youtube#channel": channels.Add(String.Format("{0} ({1})", searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.ChannelId)); break; case "youtube#playlist": playlists.Add(String.Format("{0} ({1})", searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.PlaylistId)); break; } } Let me know in case of any help. Thanks Naimish
