Hi, I love your application, I'm keen to try it out. What kind of API key do I need. Do I need a server API then use my computers IP address to register it. I'm a little confused in this area.

Please help me to understand this part,

Best wishes,
Paul

I'm no longer getting results using this tool for some weird reason. I tried entering the requestChannelVideosInfo with the following parameters:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key={myAPIKey}&channelId=UCDX8yTQaSy1IBggXqT586HQ&part=id&order=date&type=video&publishedBefore=2014-08-26T20:00:00Z&publishedAfter=2014-07-27T20:00:00Z&pageToken=&maxResults=50

and am getting no results

I think that Google may have changed their API as running the query in the Google APIs Explorer gives me no results either. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi. I do try to run this script on a Windows10 machine with Python 3.10 installed and I do get the following error message:

>python .\youtubeChannelVideosFinder.py -k Axxxxxxxxxxxx1TlzScZs8fThQs -c PLz-0BiySzeQVlvTPK2a6Kme_l3YO8aWsj -o list.txt

  File "C:\Programs\YTVideosFinder\youtubeChannelVideosFinder.py", line 148

    except Exception, err:

           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: multiple exception types must be parenthesized

The YouTube API key I obfuscated here to don't make-it public.

I have my API credentials and the name of the YouTube channel. I am not sure how to begin running it.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for the really nice script. I was trying to use this for many channels (just need all the videos for each channels). It was working well, but then suddenly it started quitting with "[[ERROR] - An exception occurred while trying to retrieve the channel id"]

I looked into the Google API logs and I find that the errors are all 403. Is it because of exceeding the daily quota? or is it because there are way too many requests per second? What can I do about this?

Hello,

It appears the channel needs to have custom url in order to get API access,

Can you confirm this?

Best wishes,
Paul
