http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34143202/get-all-videos-from-channel-youtube-api-v3-c-sharp
So building off of a couple of the answers in this article, I've put together a functional example using C# to show how to connect to the YouTube Data API.
For this example we'll be using the following NuGet package:
Google.Apis.YouTube.v3 Client Library
If you need to generate your own YouTube Data API key, you can visit the Google Developer Console and use the API Manager.

Thanks for the useful example, it was really useful for me
ReplyDeleteis there a way that I can "code listen" when the video ended playing ??
Yes, you can definitely do that using the YouTube player API. Take a look at this StackOverflow article:

Hi. Thanks for the example, but a question. Locally testing the application runs normally, but when publishing always occurs error.
ReplyDeleteI already researched the possible reason for the error and could not come up with any solution.
http://modelo07.websafebusiness.com.br/testes.aspx This is the link from where is the page that I use Google.Apis.YouTube. I removed the try to appear all the error. If you can help me, thank you.
Hi, it looks like this code only works for playlists that are set to "Public" or "Unlisted", but will not work for "Private" playlists. When I set my playlist to "Public" on YouTube, and wait a few minutes, then the code works again.

I think if you use OAuth authentication you might be able to get the videos from a private list, but I do not have a working example of that one, although it looks like there are several examples on the YouTube API developer page and Stackoverflow.
Thanks!
Thanks, I'll try.
