Request
HTTP request
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos
Parameters
The following table lists the parameters that this query supports. All of the parameters listed are query parameters.
Parameters | ||
---|---|---|
Required parameters | ||
part |
string The part parameter specifies a comma-separated list of one or more video resource properties that the API response will include.If the parameter identifies a property that contains child properties, the child properties will be included in the response. For example, in a video resource, the snippet property contains the channelId , title , description , tags , and categoryId properties. As such, if you set part=snippet , the API response will contain all of those properties.The following list contains the part names that you can include in the parameter value and the quota cost for each part:
|
|
Filters (specify exactly one of the following parameters) | ||
chart |
string The chart parameter identifies the chart that you want to retrieve.Acceptable values are:
|
|
id |
string The id parameter specifies a comma-separated list of the YouTube video ID(s) for the resource(s) that are being retrieved. In a video resource, the id property specifies the video's ID. |
|
myRating |
string This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Set this parameter's value to like or dislike to instruct the API to only return videos liked or disliked by the authenticated user.Acceptable values are:
|
|
Optional parameters | ||
hl |
string The hl parameter instructs the API to retrieve localized resource metadata for a specific application language that the YouTube website supports. The parameter value must be a language code included in the list returned by the i18nLanguages.list method.If localized resource details are available in that language, the resource's snippet.localized object will contain the localized values. However, if localized details are not available, the snippet.localized object will contain resource details in the resource's default language. |
|
maxHeight |
unsigned integer The maxHeight parameter specifies the maximum height of the embedded player returned in the player.embedHtml property. You can use this parameter to specify that instead of the default dimensions, the embed code should use a height appropriate for your application layout. If the maxWidth parameter is also provided, the player may be shorter than the maxHeight in order to not violate the maximum width. Acceptable values are 72 to 8192 , inclusive. |
|
maxResults |
unsigned integer The maxResults parameter specifies the maximum number of items that should be returned in the result set.Note: This parameter is supported for use in conjunction with the myRating parameter, but it is not supported for use in conjunction with the id parameter. Acceptable values are 1 to 50 , inclusive. The default value is 5 . |
|
maxWidth |
unsigned integer The maxWidth parameter specifies the maximum width of the embedded player returned in the player.embedHtml property. You can use this parameter to specify that instead of the default dimensions, the embed code should use a width appropriate for your application layout.If the maxHeight parameter is also provided, the player may be narrower than maxWidth in order to not violate the maximum height. Acceptable values are 72 to 8192 , inclusive. |
|
onBehalfOfContentOwner |
string This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner. |
|
pageToken |
string The pageToken parameter identifies a specific page in the result set that should be returned. In an API response, the nextPageToken and prevPageToken properties identify other pages that could be retrieved.Note: This parameter is supported for use in conjunction with the myRating parameter, but it is not supported for use in conjunction with the id parameter. |
|
regionCode |
string The regionCode parameter instructs the API to select a video chart available in the specified region. This parameter can only be used in conjunction with the chart parameter. The parameter value is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. |
|
videoCategoryId |
string The videoCategoryId parameter identifies the video category for which the chart should be retrieved. This parameter can only be used in conjunction with the chart parameter. By default, charts are not restricted to a particular category. The default value is 0 . |
Request body
Do not provide a request body when calling this method.
Response
If successful, this method returns a response body with the following structure:
{ "kind": "youtube#videoListResponse", "etag": etag, "nextPageToken": string, "prevPageToken": string, "pageInfo": { "totalResults": integer, "resultsPerPage": integer }, "items": [ video Resource ] }
Properties
The following table defines the properties that appear in this resource:
Properties | |
---|---|
kind |
string Identifies the API resource's type. The value will be youtube#videoListResponse . |
etag |
etag The Etag of this resource. |
nextPageToken |
string The token that can be used as the value of the pageToken parameter to retrieve the next page in the result set. |
prevPageToken |
string The token that can be used as the value of the pageToken parameter to retrieve the previous page in the result set. |
pageInfo |
object The pageInfo object encapsulates paging information for the result set. |

integer The total number of results in the result set. |
pageInfo.resultsPerPage |
integer The number of results included in the API response. |
items[] |
list A list of videos that match the request criteria. |
Examples
Note: The following code samples may not represent all supported programming languages. See the client libraries documentation for a list of supported languages.
Java #1
This sample calls the API'ssearch.list
method with the type
, q
, location
, and
locationRadius
parameters to retrieve search results matching the provided keyword within the radius centered
at a particular location. Using the video IDs from the search result, the sample calls the API's videos.list
method to retrieve location details of each video.
This example uses the Java client library.

Python #1
This sample calls the API'ssearch.list
method with the type
,
q
, location
, and locationRadius
parameters to retrieve search results
matching the provided keyword within the radius centered at a particular location. Using the video ids from
the search result, the sample calls the API's videos.list
method to retrieve location details
of each video.
This example uses the Python client library.

Python #2
This sample demonstrates how to use the following API methods to set and retrieve localized metadata for a video:- It calls the
videos.update
method to update the default language of a video's metadata and to add a localized version of this metadata in a selected language. - It calls the
videos.list
method with thehl
parameter set to a specific language to retrieve localized metadata in that language. - It calls the
videos.list
method and includeslocalizations
in thepart
parameter value to retrieve all of the localized metadata for that video.
This example uses the Python client library.

Errors
The following table identifies error messages that the API could return in response to a call to this method. Please see the error message documentation for more detail.
Error type | Error detail | Description |
---|---|---|
badRequest (400) |
videoChartNotFound |
The requested video chart is not supported or is not available. |
forbidden (403) |
forbidden |

forbidden (403) |
forbidden |
The request cannot access user rating information. This error may occur because the request is not properly authorized to use the myRating parameter. |
notFound (404) |
