Yes, your code is almost correct. You’re correctly using the search endpoint to get a list of videos and then using the videos endpoint to get the details of each video. However, you need to make sure that the snippet part is included in the part parameter when you’re making the request to the videos endpoint, as the tags field is part of the snippet . Here’s how you can modify your code to get the search keywords (tags) of each video: List listVideo = new List (); var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3"); var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.GET); request.AddParameter("part", "snippet"); request.AddParameter("q", "sports shorts"); request.AddParameter("type", "video"); request.AddParameter("videoDuration", "short"); request.AddParameter("key", "AIJHDKSY9"); var response = client.Execute (request); foreach (var data in response.Data.items) { var clientTag0 = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/"); var tagRequest0 = new RestRequest("videos", Method.GET); tagRequest0.AddParameter("key", "AIzaSyA9"); tagRequest0.AddParameter("part", "snippet,statistics"); tagRequest0.AddParameter("id", data.id.videoId); var tagResponse0 = clientTag0.Execute (tagRequest0); foreach (var searchResult in tagResponse0.Data.items) { listVideo.Add(searchResult); var tags = searchResult.snippet.tags; // this is a list of tags (search keywords) // Do something with the tags... } } In this code, YoutubeSearchListResponse , VideoListResponse , and Item are classes that represent the structure of the API response. You need to define these classes according to the API response structure. Please note that the YouTube Data API does not provide the search keywords of a video directly. The tags field in the snippet of a video resource contains the keywords of the video, but this field is only included for videos that are owned by the authenticated user. If you want to get the keywords of your videos, you need to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 and use the videos.list method with the id parameter set to the IDs of your videos. Thanks

Please try below code. public class SearchListResponse { public string Kind { get; set; } public string Etag { get; set; } public string NextPageToken { get; set; } public PageInfo PageInfo { get; set; } public List Items { get; set; } } public class SearchResult { public string Kind { get; set; } public string Etag { get; set; } public Id Id { get; set; } public Snippet Snippet { get; set; } } public class PageInfo { public int TotalResults { get; set; } public int ResultsPerPage { get; set; } } public class Id { public string Kind { get; set; } public string VideoId { get; set; } } public class Snippet { public DateTime PublishedAt { get; set; } public string ChannelId { get; set; } public string Title { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public Thumbnails Thumbnails { get; set; } public string ChannelTitle { get; set; } public string LiveBroadcastContent { get; set; } } public class Thumbnails { public Thumbnail Default { get; set; } public Thumbnail Medium { get; set; } public Thumbnail High { get; set; } } public class Thumbnail { public string Url { get; set; } public int Width { get; set; } public int Height { get; set; } } And here’s how you can use these classes with your existing code: var clientTag = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/"); var tagRequest = new RestRequest("search", Method.GET); tagRequest.AddParameter("key", "AIz8"); tagRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet"); tagRequest.AddParameter("q", "sports shorts"); tagRequest.AddParameter("type", "video"); tagRequest.AddParameter("videoDuration", "short"); var response = clientTag.Execute (tagRequest); List listVideo = new List (); foreach (var searchResult in response.Data.Items) { listVideo.Add(searchResult); } Please note that this code assumes that you have the RestSharp and Newtonsoft.Json libraries installed in your project. If not, you can install them via NuGet Package Manager. Thanks

The error message indicates that the YouTube API expects a filter parameter, such as myRating , id , or chart . In your case, you’re trying to get details of videos, so you should use the id parameter. However, you’ve commented out the line where you add the id parameter. If you want to loop through all your short videos, you need to have a list of all the video IDs. Once you have this list, you can loop through it and make a request for each video ID. Here’s an example of how you can do it: var clientTag = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/"); var tagRequest = new RestRequest("videos", Method.GET); tagRequest.AddParameter("key", "AIzKSHHDHGDt6cGJDKDJQ9b5Ls8EDISJ8"); tagRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet"); // Assuming you have a list of video IDs List videoIds = new List { "videoId1", "videoId2", "videoId3" }; // replace with your video ids foreach (var videoId in videoIds) { tagRequest.AddParameter("id", videoId); var response = clientTag.Execute(tagRequest); var content = response.Content; // Deserialize the JSON response var videoDetails = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject (content); // Extract the required details var channelName = videoDetails["items"][0]["snippet"]["channelTitle"]; var videoTitle = videoDetails["items"][0]["snippet"]["title"]; var description = videoDetails["items"][0]["snippet"]["description"]; var tags = videoDetails["items"][0]["snippet"]["tags"]; // this is a list of tags // Do something with the details... } Please replace "videoId1" , "videoId2" , "videoId3" with your actual video IDs. This code will loop through each video ID in the list, make a request to the YouTube API, and extract the required details. Remember to handle potential exceptions and errors in your code. This includes checking if the video id is valid and handling the case where the video might not have any tags. Note: Be careful not to expose your API key ( AIzKSHHDHGDt6cGJDKDJQ9b5Ls8EDISJ8 ) in a public or insecure environment, as it could be used by others to access your Google API services. It’s always a good practice to store sensitive information like this in a secure way (like environment variables or secure app config). Thanks

Hi I am getting below error. I want to loop through all my Short Videos. { "error": { "code": 400, "message": "No filter selected.

To achieve this, you need to make a request to the YouTube Data API endpoint for videos and specify the part parameter to include the information you need (e.g., snippet). Additionally, you can use the id parameter to specify the video ID for the video you are interested in. var clientTag = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/"); var tagRequest = new RestRequest("videos", Method.GET); tagRequest.AddParameter("key", "YOUR_API_KEY"); tagRequest.AddParameter("part", "snippet"); tagRequest.AddParameter("id", "YOUR_VIDEO_ID"); var response = clientTag.Execute(tagRequest); var content = response.Content; // Parse the JSON response to extract Channel Name, Video Title, Description, and Search Keywords // Example parsing code will depend on the JSON structure returned by the API
