I’m creating a content strategy for a client and the following need has arisen: View private videos from the youtube channel on the website.

What we want to do is create a strategy where users can only see some of the channel videos within our client’s site, like exclusive content, you know? There is a whole speech supporting this strategy, which is not the case to comment here, because it would only be bla-bla-bla.

My question: Is it possible to bring private Youtube videos to the site only using the Youtube API? I don’t want a "how to", I just really need to know if it is possible. I looked at the documentation, but I couldn’t clarify this doubt much.

Thank you all!

According to API 3.0 reference guide

http://api-portal.anypoint.mulesoft.com/youtube/api/youtube-data-api-v30/docs/reference

"In addition, some API methods for retrieving Resources may support Parameters that require Authorization or may contain Additional Metadata when requests are authorized. For example, a request to Retrieve a user’s uploaded videos may also contain private videos if the request is authorized by that specific user."

  • Thanks, man! = ) I ended up discovering the existence of "unlisted" videos, which can help me. I talked to a friend of mine about it over the weekend and he commented on this possibility, but said he needed this authorization to access the videos.
