I am working with the Youtube Data API and I am interested in filtering out videos that do not have a category set. My goal is to identify and exclude these videos from my results. When a video does not have a category set, how does the API handle it in the response? Specifically, I would like to know if the categoryId field is empty, null, or contains a different value for such videos.
Additionally, I have tried checking the categoryId field for null values, but the results were inconclusive. I would like to explore alternative methods or approaches to accurately identify videos without categories and filter them out from my dataset.
Below is a sample code snippet for retrieving the Category ID.
