I'm using the Google YouTube Api (v3) to fetch the video IDs for a YouTube Playlist. My code is working well enough, but I'd really like to set the "resultsPerPage" variable to a higher number. It is set to 5 by default. I'm using it for album tracks so most of the playlists that I'm working with are between 8 and 15 videos. It would be nice to get all of their info in one call.
When I execute the same request from the Google API Explorer there is no such limitation; it returns all of the videos in one response.
I tried setting the "resultsPerPage" option Node.js code that fetches the data, but that had no effect:
const youtube_v3 = require('@googleapis/youtube').youtube_v3; const youtube = new youtube_v3.Youtube(); const requestOptions = { key: process.env.YOUTUBE_API_KEY, part: 'snippet,contentDetails', fields: 'items(snippet/title,contentDetails/videoId),pageInfo,nextPageToken', playlistId: playlistId, maxResult: maxResults, resultsPerPage: 10 // this does nothing! }; if ( pageToken ) { requestOptions.pageToken = pageToken; } const results = await youtube.playlistItems.list( requestOptions ); const data = results.data;I found some info in the Docs about a PageInfo class. It has a method named set_results_per_page() which seems promising. However, I have no idea how to access that class.
Has anyone managed to change the number of results per page using the API?
