To get videos that have been published in the last 2 days, you can use the publishedAfter parameter of the YouTube Data API. This parameter specifies the earliest date and time that a video could have been published to be included in the API response. The value is specified in RFC 3339 format. You can calculate the date for 2 days ago in C# and convert it to the RFC 3339 format. Here’s how you can modify your code: var client = new RestClient("youtube/v3"); var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.GET); request.AddParameter("part", "snippet"); request.AddParameter("q", "sports shorts"); request.AddParameter("maxResults", "100"); request.AddParameter("type", "video"); request.AddParameter("order", "viewCount"); request.AddParameter("videoDuration", "short"); // Calculate the date for 2 days ago DateTime twoDaysAgo = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-2); // Convert the date to RFC 3339 format string publishedAfter = twoDaysAgo.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z'"); request.AddParameter("publishedAfter", publishedAfter); This will return videos that match your query and have been published in the last 2 days. Please note that you need to replace "youtube/v3" with the actual base URL of the YouTube Data API v3, which is "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3" . Also, remember to include your API key in the request: request.AddParameter("key", "YOUR_API_KEY"); Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your actual API key. If you don’t have an API key, you can create one in the Google Cloud Console. Thanks

Hi Ramco, try following using RestSharp; using System; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { 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("maxResults", "100"); request.AddParameter("type", "video"); request.AddParameter("order", "date"); request.AddParameter("publishedAfter", DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-2).ToString("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ")); // Videos published in the last 2 days request.AddParameter("videoDuration", "short"); // Add your YouTube Data API key here request.AddParameter("key", "YOUR_API_KEY"); IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request); if (response.IsSuccessful) { Parse response JSON to extract descriptions and search keywords Here you'll need to use a JSON parser library like Newtonsoft.Json Example: dynamic responseData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Content); foreach (var item in responseData.items) { string description = item.snippet.description; string keywords = item.snippet.tags; Console.WriteLine("Description: " + description); Console.WriteLine("Keywords: " + keywords); } Console.WriteLine("Success"); } else { Console.WriteLine("Error : " + response.ErrorMessage); } } }
