I am trying to download the most recent items from a YouTube playlist in a C# .NET program. Right now I have a program that successfully gets the necessary data from my channel's Uploads playlist using channel.ContentDetails.RelatedPlaylists.Uploads;, which I got from the sample program on the API page. But I can't find any information in the API docs about how to switch that line or lines around it to get a playlist by ID rather than my own uploads.
This is not a duplicate because other examples on this page explain how to find it through an http link, as in <a href ='http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/... etc. I want to do it directly through the API's methods. The part of my code that downloads the data is included below.
private async Task Run(){ var youtubeService = new YouTubeService(new BaseClientService.Initializer() { ApiKey = "API KEY HERE", ApplicationName = this.GetType().ToString() }); //MAYBE I NEED TO CHANGE THIS? SOMETHING LIKE //'youtubeservice.Playlists.IDUNNOWHAT' var channelsListRequest = youtubeService.Channels.List("contentDetails"); channelsListRequest.Id = "CHANNEL ID HERE"; // Retrieve the contentDetails part of the channel resource for the authenticated user's channel. var channelsListResponse = await channelsListRequest.ExecuteAsync(); foreach (var channel in channelsListResponse.Items) { //OR MAYBE I NEED TO CHANGE THIS PART? //LIKE 'channel.ContentDetails.SOMETHING var uploadsListId = channel.ContentDetails.RelatedPlaylists.Uploads; var nextPageToken = ""; while (nextPageToken != null) { var playlistItemsListRequest = youtubeService.PlaylistItems.List("snippet"); playlistItemsListRequest.PlaylistId = uploadsListId; playlistItemsListRequest.MaxResults = 50; playlistItemsListRequest.PageToken = nextPageToken; // Retrieve the list of videos uploaded to the authenticated user's channel. var playlistItemsListResponse = await playlistItemsListRequest.ExecuteAsync(); /* * DO A BUNCH OF STUFF WITH THE YOUTUBE DATA */ nextPageToken = playlistItemsListResponse.NextPageToken; } }}
