Youtube Category List

Hi,

API URL given by Vishal is correct. You forgot to remove {} from the exampla link. It should be like below

var client = new RestClient("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videoCategories?part=snippet&regionCode=IN&key=AIzaSyAu9f7blF7idzt6cGul59UQ9b2Ls8EXKG8");

Thanks

Forgot to include note about enabling Youtube Data API. You need to enable YouTube Data API service in your project in Google Developer console. You can check this link https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158841?hl=en.

Hi,

For this first you need to create a project in Google Developer Console. You can check below links to create a project and API key in Google Developer Console

https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6251787?hl=en#zippy=%2Ccreate-a-project
https://support.google.com/googleapi/answer/6158862?hl=en

Then in your project you have to install Google.Apis.YouTube.v3 plugin from nuget. And then you can follow below code

using Google.Apis.Services;
using Google.Apis.YouTube.v3;

namespace ConsoleApp1;

class ConsoleApp1
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var youtubeService = new YouTubeService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
        {
            ApiKey = "",
        });

        var youtubeRequest = youtubeService.VideoCategories.List("snippet");
        youtubeRequest.RegionCode = "US";
        var response = youtubeRequest.Execute();
        foreach (var category in response.Items)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", category.Snippet.Title, category.Id);
        }

        Console.Read();
    }
}

Try this

using Google.Apis.YouTube.v3;
using Google.Apis.YouTube.v3.Data;

// create a new YouTube service
var youtubeService = new YouTubeService(new BaseClientService.Initializer() {
    ApiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY",
    ApplicationName = "YOUR_APP_NAME"
});

// make a GET request to the videoCategories resource
var categoriesListRequest = youtubeService.VideoCategories.List("snippet");
categoriesListRequest.RegionCode = "IN";
var categoriesListResponse = categoriesListRequest.Execute();

// iterate through the list of video categories
foreach (var category in categoriesListResponse.Items)
{
    // display the category name and id
    Console.WriteLine("{0} ({1})", category.Snippet.Title, category.Id);
}
