I'm trying to fetch all the video ids from a playlist on YouTube. Currently, I have things almost working, except the ids that YouTube is returning a much longer than usual and don't seem to work. Here's part of my code:
const requestUrl = `https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?key=${process.env.KEY}&playlistId=${id}&part=id&maxResults=40`The result under data.items looks like this:
[ { kind: 'youtube#playlistItem', etag: 'DxS1pY8G6dwZwfAUJeE8naJEvXM', id: 'T0xBSzV1eV9uUHdpaDVQbWY3aEJWQ1Q2LU14bVFOTGFBSVAwellYVGsuRUVCNzhFRENBQzBENDM4MA' }, { kind: 'youtube#playlistItem', etag: 'hi9WR5RovxYzHpBXddP__e5nFSA', id: 'T0xBSzV1eV9uUHdpaDVQbWY3aEJWQ1Q2LU14bVFOTGFBSVAwellYVGsuQzVBOTAwNjQ1OTJFMTVBRg' }etc...However those ids are much longer than normal and when I go to for example
youtube.com/watch?v=T0xBSzV1eV9uUHdpaDVQbWY3aEJWQ1Q2LU14bVFOTGFBSVAwellYVGsuRUVCNzhFRENBQzBENDM4MAthe url automatically gets shortened to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0xBSzV1eV9 and I get a video unavailable screen. When I changed &part=id to &part=snippet, the same thing happened, I just got more video info.
Thanks in advance!
