How can I get a single video by its ID using the Youtube API v3.
So far I've only come across search mechanisms and other, but not specifically one to get a single video, the code that I have currently is:
def youtube_search(q, max_results=1,order="relevance", token=None, location=None, location_radius=None): youtube = build(YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME, YOUTUBE_API_VERSION, developerKey=DEVELOPER_KEY) search_response = youtube.search().list( q=q, type="video", pageToken=token, order = order, part="id,snippet", maxResults=max_results, location=location, locationRadius=location_radius ).execute() videos = [] for search_result in search_response.get("items", []): if search_result["id"]["kind"] == "youtube#video": videos.append(search_result) try: nexttok = search_response["nextPageToken"] return(nexttok, videos) except Exception as e: nexttok = "last_page" return(nexttok, videos)But I've realized that this method is not efficient but rather wastes time and resources. How can I go about it?
