YouTube Data Tools

Video List Module

This module creates a list of video infos and statistics from one of four sources: the videos uploaded to a specified channel, a playlist, the videos retrieved by a particular search query, or the videos specified by a list of ids.

The script then creates a tabular file where each row is a video. A number of infos and variables are added for each video.

Check the documentation for the video/list (used to get the info for each video) and the search/list (used for the search function) API endpoint for additional information.
