OnYouTube API to fetch all videos on a channel
found compact sample PHP under heading "Here is the code that will return all video ids under your channel".
Program shown below.
I expanded the program to fetch various attributes of each video, including ACCESS.
I have a channel with over 20,000 videos and large quote.
The program ran nicely and produced a .csv with video attributes.
It ran for about 2 hours and 10 minutes and stopped at 20,000 videos. In addition it only picked up PUBLIC videos.
How can the above two issues be remedied?
