List my own Youtube Videos

Question

Hi

I have below code to list my own videos but it is saying No Data Found. In allitems it is showing Count = 0

        protected void MyOwnVideos()
        {
            StringBuilder htmlTable = new StringBuilder();

            var client = new RestClient("googleapis.com/youtube/v3");
            var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.GET);
            request.AddParameter("part", "snippet");

            request.AddParameter("type", "video");

            request.AddParameter("channelId", "_nNoaVw");
            request.AddParameter("key", "AIzaSyFG8");

            List<YoutubeSearchItem> allItems = new List<YoutubeSearchItem>();

            IRestResponse<YoutubeSearchListResponse> response = client.Execute<YoutubeSearchListResponse>(request);


            htmlTable.Append("<table class='table table-bordered table-hover datatable-highlight' id='tbldata'>");
            htmlTable.Append("<thead><tr><th>Video Id</th><th>Video Title</th><th>Description</th><th>Views</th><th>Like</th><th>Comment</th><th>Published</th></tr></thead>");
            htmlTable.Append("<tbody>");

            foreach (var data in allItems.OrderBy(x => x.snippet.publishedAt))
            {
}

Thanks

The issue you're encountering ( Count = 0 in allItems ) likely stems from one or more of the following problems: The URL for the YouTube Data API should be https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search  not just googleapis.com/youtube/v3 . Check that the channelId you are using is correct. You can verify it by visiting your YouTube channel and checking the URL or using the API to fetch your channel details. Check that your API key is valid has the correct permissions (YouTube Data API enabled) and is not restricted to specific IP addresses or referrers. The maxResults parameter is optional but defaults to 5. If you want more results specify a higher value (e.g. maxResults=50 ). using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using RestSharp; public class YoutubeSearchItem { public string id { get; set; } public Snippet snippet { get; set; } } public class Snippet { public string publishedAt { get; set; } public string title { get; set; } public string description { get; set; } } public class YoutubeSearchListResponse { public List items { get; set; } } public class Program { protected void MyOwnVideos() { StringBuilder htmlTable = new StringBuilder(); var client = new RestClient(https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3); var request = new RestRequest(search Method.GET); // Add required parameters request.AddParameter(part snippet); request.AddParameter(type video); request.AddParameter(channelId UC_nNoaVw); // Replace with your actual channelId request.AddParameter(key AIzaSyFG8...); // Replace with your actual API key request.AddParameter(maxResults 50); // Optional: Fetch up to 50 videos // Execute the request IRestResponse response = client.Execute (request); // Check if the response contains data if (response.Data == null || response.Data.items == null || response.Data.items.Count == 0) { Console.WriteLine(No Data Found. Please check your channelId and API key.); return; } // Build the HTML table htmlTable.Append( ); htmlTable.Append( Video Id Video Title Description Published ); htmlTable.Append( ); foreach (var data in response.Data.items.OrderBy(x => x.snippet.publishedAt)) { htmlTable.Append( ); htmlTable.Append($ {data.id} ); htmlTable.Append($ {data.snippet.title} ); htmlTable.Append($ {data.snippet.description} ); htmlTable.Append($ {data.snippet.publishedAt} ); htmlTable.Append( ); } htmlTable.Append( ); htmlTable.Append( ); // Output the HTML table Console.WriteLine(htmlTable.ToString()); } public static void Main(string[] args) { Program program = new Program(); program.MyOwnVideos(); } } Changed the base URL to https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3 . Check the channelId is correct. You can find it by: Visiting your YouTube channel page. Checking the URL or using the API to fetch your channel details. Check the API key is valid and has access to the YouTube Data API. Test the API key by making a simple request in a browser: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&type=video&channelId=UC_nNoaVw&key=YOUR_API_KEY Added a check to ensure the response contains data before proceeding. Fixed the loop to iterate over response.Data.items instead of an empty allItems list. Added maxResults=50 to fetch up to 50 videos per request. Test your API key with a simple GET request in your browser or Postman https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&type=video&channelId=UC_nNoaVw&key=YOUR_API_KEY Use the following API endpoint to fetch your channel details and confirm the channelId : https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=id&mine=true&key=YOUR_API_KEY Log the raw response from the API to debug any issues: Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
