Get hands-on experience with YouTube Data API and its various methods by building a web application.

Ace the APIs for Entertainment Applications

The YouTube Data APIs make it easier for developers to integrate its functionalities into their applications. In this module, we'll learn how YouTube Data API works with YouTube videos, playlists, and comments. Moving ahead, we'll discuss different resources and methods to interact with them using the YouTube Data API. Finally, we'll learn about the project structure and integration of different resources in detail by looking at a sample application.

YouTube Data API

We've looked at the `video`, `commentThread`, and `i18nRegion` resources and how we can use them to retrieve data from the API. We'll integrate them into the project (YouTube Mini application) that we created earlier.


## Workflow

Let’s build on our previous demo app “YouTube Mini.” We’ll integrate the following resources: `video`, `commentThread`, and `i18nRegion`.

1. We'll create a filter for regions. Next to the search bar on the homepage, the user will have an option to search for videos associated with a particular keyword in a specific region.  We’ll use the `i18nRegion` resource to retrieve the list of content regions, and then we’ll use the response data to populate the region filter.
2. Next to the “Channel Stats” button, we’ll have a button called “Video Stats”, which will use the `video` resource to retrieve the statistics and information of the particular video.
3. On the “Video Stats” page, we’ll use the `commentThread` resource to retrieve a list of top-level comments associated with that video.
