I was looking through some of the youtube plugins and I wasn't able to find a way to retrieve all of the videos from one channel?
How would I go about doing this in flutter?
If you still looking.here is Youtube API
A Flutter plugin for fetching interacting with Youtube Server to fetch
data using API. Supports iOS and Android.
you can find it here

I am planning on developing an app similar to Snaptube, where a user can search and stream videos on the app just like YouTube. The question is, does YouTube allow for such applications, and how would I go about it in terms of the searching functionality since most tutorials show how just to play videos embedded to the app through a link in methods such as recycler view or web view? Hope I am clear as can be, thanks.
Youtube as an API that is specifically designed to search Videos on their plattform. You can retrieve the found videos and embedd them in your app, so the user can watch the content. YouTube allows such applications.
See https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list for an API (JAVA) Example of how to search Videos on Youtube. There are Android Libraries that help you with that. They can be found here https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/downloads/ and here https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/quickstart/android.
I am making web view app of a YouTube channel, but don't know how to remove YouTube search bar in web view .
I am doing this in android studio.
A better way is to use YouTube API through which you can efficiently load YouTube data.
WebView only loads the URL and you can't control the content inside of it.
As the docs mention
With the YouTube Data API, you can add a variety of YouTube features
to your application. Use the API to upload videos, manage playlists
and subscriptions, update channel settings, and more.
Also there are many samples available through which you can fetch the channels, videos, playlists etc.
I want to implement a simple livestream to my iOS and android apps.
I can use youtube.com to record the livestream, and broadcast it as a regular video in my apps. I don't want to implement heavy SDKs or build a platform to do so.
What is the best choice?
Have come across - kickflip.io, livestreamsdk.com, ustream.tv, etc.
With the first 2, you have to setup the whole thing. While I was thinking if I can simply embed like a Youtube player which will show the broadcast.
The YouTube Live Streaming API lets you create, update and manage live events on YouTube. The Live Streaming API is actually comprised of components of the YouTube Data API and the YouTube Content ID API.
Before you start:
You need a Google Account to access the Google Developers Console, request an API key and register your app.
Register your app https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application with Google so that it can submit API request.
After registering your app, select the YouTube Data API as one of the services that your app uses.
Here's a demo app which shows how to use liveBroadcasts, liveBroadcast is a resource represents an event that will streamed via live video on YouTube:
https://github.com/youtube/api-samples/blob/master/python/create_broadcast.py
Made a way out using Youtube Player. Tried both using youtube embed in webview and youtube player using SDK, and it worked just fine. Some manual controls were required to be added to better handle for the live streaming purpose, but the rest worked smooth.
Used Wirecast for streaming the media (broadcasting) to Youtube, and youtube's rtmp handles the rest nearly.
I have the code for integrating YouTube videos in android.
What I want is to create a listview which lists different channels, and when user clicks on a channel it shows all the videos for that channel. By this way when a new video is loaded in a channel it will automatically be available in my app also.
Is it possible to integrate YouTube channel in android?
Yes! Check out the Android Youtube Player API and the YouTube API.
Android Player:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/
YouTube API:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/
YouTube Player API Sample: (sample folder in zip)
https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/downloads/
EDIT
The Data API lets you get information about videos in a channel, you can then use that info to construct your list of videos and update it accordingly.
For example, the following would retrieve the latest videos from a channel:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key={your_key_here}&channelId={channel_id_here}&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults=20
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/
Good Luck!
I want to use YouTube Data API V3 in my application to do the following:
Retrieve the playlists in my YouTube channel.
Retrieve a the list of videos in each playlist.
Now I'm confused, which SDK shall I use the Client Library for Java (works on Android)
or shall I use the Android Player APIs, but it seems that it does not provide retrieving the playlists info, it just plays videos within the app.
or can I use the REST APIs and parse the responses manually ?
would you please recommend a method ?
Thanks
You want to use the YouTube Data API v3. This will work on Android. The Player API is for playing YouTube videos in your views. If you want to fetch playlist information and play videos, you would use both in your application.
