I need a list of all videos from a YouTube channel using the YouTube Data API. I used the Upload-Playlist to get this list. But I discovered, that this list contains offline livestreams as well. Does anyone know how to detect, if the type of the item is a video or livestream? In the JSON from the request is a type argument, but this says e.g.: 'resourceId': {'kind': 'youtube#video', 'videoId': 'Rul7Z2pkH1w'}.
I'm working with Python and here is my code:
import pandas as pdimport requestschannel = 'UC192SEGl9dAng9GwredMSww'api_key = '...'# build dataframedf = pd.DataFrame(columns=['channel_id','video_id','video_title','published_date','type'])playlist_id = channel[:1] +'U'+ channel[2:]url = 'https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=id&part=snippet&part=status&playlistId='+ playlist_id +'&maxResults=50&key='+ api_keyresponse = requests.get(url=url).json()# save the channel_id and video_id in a dataframefor i in response['items']: channel_id = i['snippet']['channelId'] video_id = i['snippet']['resourceId']['videoId'] published_date = i['snippet']['publishedAt'] video_title = i['snippet']['title'] vid_type = i['snippet']['resourceId']['kind'] df = pd.concat([df, pd.DataFrame([{'channel_id': channel_id,'video_id': video_id,'video_title': video_title,'published_date': published_date,'type': vid_type }])], ignore_index=True) url2 = 'https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&part=id&part=statistics&part=localizations&part=status&part=contentDetails&part=liveStreamingDetails&part=topicDetails&id='+ video_id +'&maxResults=50&key='+ api_key response2 = requests.get(url=url).json() print(response2)Thank you in advance!
