In a repeating group, I’m trying to display a list of all the videos belonging to a given YouTube Channel. The plugin I’m using is “YouTube Complete.” The problem is, I can’t seem to find the right query or input combination or even where to put the channel id to pull any results.
Note: In production, the channel id is going to be dynamic and pulled from the database. The id I’m testing with is this: UCLrpZRNL3WgVSkkOzdKUq9w and has no significance.
You’re thinking in the right direction, but that API call isn’t going to satisfy what you’re looking for. From the Youtube API documentation:
idstring
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.
I haven’t spent a lot of time with the Youtube API, but I believe the best approach for your case is to retrieve a list of videos from a playlist (not the channel itself - need to investigate if/how Youtube’s API returns a full list directly from a channel query). (From what you shared, you’re only pulling a public playlist, not a user of your application’s uploaded videos. So this approach is based on the static list component)
You can set up this API call directly using the API Connector plugin. (If you’re unfamiliar with it, let me know). Your setup would look something like this…
Yeah the issue I ran into with the current user approach was if the user had signed up with their email or google account instead of YouTube it won’t work. Too bad connecting multiple social accounts isn’t a built-in feature.
I ended up finding a setting in YouTube that automatically places uploaded videos into playlists based on content rules related to its title and/or description. Then, having the user input the link to their target playlist, after which the app can extract the playlist id and plug it into the api. Now, users can mass upload to YouTube from wherever. The app does the rest!
I can’t display movie title yet.
If it possible I want you to tell me how to do with “YouTube Complete” plugin
In my case, the movies mustn’t be in a playlist.
