How to use PageToken

Hello Ramco,

To fetch all videos, you need to handle pagination using the pageToken. Below is an updated version of your code that retrieves all videos by iterating through all available pages.

protected void MyOwnVideos()
{
    StringBuilder htmlTable = new StringBuilder();
    var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3");
    string nextPageToken = "";
    List allVideos = new List();

    do
    {
        var request = new RestRequest("search", Method.GET);
        request.AddParameter("part", "snippet");
        request.AddParameter("type", "video");
        request.AddParameter("channelId", "UC_nNoaVw"); // Replace with your actual channelId
        request.AddParameter("maxResults", "50"); // API max limit per call
        request.AddParameter("key", "AIz8..."); // Replace with your actual API key

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(nextPageToken))
        {
            request.AddParameter("pageToken", nextPageToken);
        }

        IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

        if (response.Data?.items == null || response.Data.items.Count == 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("No Data Found.");
            break;
        }

        allVideos.AddRange(response.Data.items);
        nextPageToken = response.Data.nextPageToken; // Get the next page token

    } while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(nextPageToken)); // Continue while there are more pages

    // Build the HTML table
    htmlTable.Append("");
    htmlTable.Append("");
    htmlTable.Append("");

    foreach (var data in allVideos.OrderBy(x => x.snippet.publishedAt))
    {
        htmlTable.Append("");
        htmlTable.Append($"");
        htmlTable.Append($"");
        htmlTable.Append($"");
        htmlTable.Append($"");
        htmlTable.Append("");
    }

    htmlTable.Append("");
    htmlTable.Append("
Video Id
Video Title
Description
Published
{data.id.videoId}
{data.snippet.title}
{data.snippet.description}
{data.snippet.publishedAt}
");

    // Output the HTML table
    Console.WriteLine(htmlTable.ToString());
}

Good Luck!

Hello Ramco,

You can use token as below,

protected void MyOwnVideos()
{
   
    string nextPageToken = ""; // Initial page token is empty
   

    do
    {
       // Your other code

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(nextPageToken))
        {
            request.AddParameter("pageToken", nextPageToken);
        }

      // Your API call code here

        nextPageToken = response.Data.nextPageToken; 

    } while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(nextPageToken)); // Continue until there are no more pages

   // Your remaining code
}

Hello! It looks like you're interested in using PageToken to display all the videos in your YouTube API call. Here's how you can incorporate PageToken into your code snippet:

When you make a request to the YouTube API to retrieve a list of videos, the response might be paginated. This means that the API may not return all videos in a single response but instead provide a token that you can use to fetch the next set of results.

To implement PageToken in your code for fetching all videos, you need to modify your existing code to handle pagination. Here's a general outline of how you can do this:

1. Add a variable to store the PageToken:

string pageToken = string.Empty;

2. Modify your request to include the PageToken parameter:

request.AddParameter("pageToken", pageToken);

3. After processing the current set of videos, check if there is a nextPageToken in the response:

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(response.Data.nextPageToken))
{
    pageToken = response.Data.nextPageToken;
    // Make another request with the new PageToken to fetch the next set of videos
}

4. Loop through the subsequent responses until all videos are fetched, updating the PageToken in each iteration.

By following these steps and handling the PageToken appropriately, you can retrieve all the videos associated with the channelId provided in your code.

I hope this explanation helps you integrate PageToken effectively into your code to fetch and display all the videos. If you need further assistance or clarification, feel free to ask!
