Question:
Looking at the doc:https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list
I don’t see any part to request to get the links or websites of a channel. If you go to any channel “About” page on their normal site outside the API it lists the channel’s external websites in a section called “links”.
Is there a way to request that google add this?
Answer:
One more time YouTube Data API v3 doesn’t provide a basic feature.I would recommend you to try out my open-source YouTube operational API. Indeed by fetching https://yt.lemnoslife.com/channels?part=about&id=CHANNEL_ID you will retrieve the links of the
About
section of the given YouTube channel in item["links"]
.Example of YouTube channel (
UC9-y-6csu5WGm29I7JiwpnA
) having such website URLs in its About
tab.If you have better answer, please add a comment about this, thank you!
