Hello Ramco, PFB answer var response = client.Execute (request); - [This line will execute the request and parse YouTube response into specific class]. Sample response, which will convert to YoutubeSearchListResponse Class. { "kind": "youtube#searchListResponse", "etag": "fsfsfsfsafd", "nextPageToken": "CAUQAAsdsds", "regionCode": "US", "pageInfo": { "totalResults": 353792, "resultsPerPage": 5 }, "items": [ { "kind": "youtube#searchResult", "etag": "sfsfsfdsfsfsf", "id": { "kind": "youtube#video", "videoId": "sdfsfsfdsfsdf" }, "snippet": { "publishedAt": "2023-02-02T01:13:43Z", "channelId": "sdfsfdsfdsfdsf", "title": "fdsfsfs Tv", "description": "sfdfsfs ...", "thumbnails": { "default": { "url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5SnTyT8vyTIff/default.jpg", "width": 120, "height": 90 }, "medium": { "url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5SnTyT8vyTIss/mqdefault.jpg", "width": 320, "height": 180 }, "high": { "url": "https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5SnTyT8vyTIff/hqdefault.jpg", "width": 480, "height": 360 } }, "channelTitle": "sfdfdsfdsf", "liveBroadcastContent": "none", "publishTime": "2023-02-02T01:13:43Z" } } ] } Similarly for var tagResponse = clientTag.Execute (tagRequest) { "items": [ { "id": "dsdadadad", "snippet": { "tags": [ "songs", "Gaana Songs", "Folk Song" ] } } ] } Your response from API and your class structure Must be same to parse the API data to Specific class. If your response is different that it will create an issue. Thanks Naimish Makwana

Hello Ramco, You can call google api using below call, var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com"); var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST); request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json; request.Resource = "youtube/v3/videos?key=your-key&fields=items(snippet(title,description,tags))&part=snippet&id=youtube-id}"; request.AddParameter("part", "snippet,status", ParameterType.UrlSegment); request.AddParameter("key", "MyClientId", ParameterType.UrlSegment); request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + "MyAccessCode"); request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8"); request.AddBody(anObject); //

The id parameter specifies a comma-separated list of the YouTube video ID(s) for the resource(s) that are being retrieved. In a video resource, the id property specifies the video's ID.
