how to get youtube videos information in android? -kotlin

is there any chance to get video information with or without youtube APIs? right now I'm getting the thumbnail of videos using their video_id but I want information like title, description, views, YouTuber profile picture, and YouTuber name. I looked at youtube docs but just simple things like using players for playing videos.
this is the way I get thumbnails.
"https://img.youtube.com/vi/${videoID}/0.jpg"
also, I'm using youtube API for playing videos in my app with this code.
val intent = YouTubeStandalonePlayer.createVideoIntent(requireActivity(), "AIzaSyChnBzNGITQM2gUc52RnRfG3eDYmYRAhQ8", video_id)
startActivity(intent)

You can use these API to get video data
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=VIDEO_ID&key=YOUR_API_KEY&part=snippet,statistics&fields=items(id,snippet,statistics)
Note: just add your API key in place of YOUR_API_KEY and pass videoId in place of VIDEO_ID.

Well, it is true that you cannot find any url in the json output. The only thing that you can get from here is the videoId.
You can use this videoId as part of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v="insert_videoId" to get a video link.
So in your case, this is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGDqZjALH_M

save on a server.Now i want to parse it in phonegap(android).How to do that.
When I save that file on my project and use it then it work, but when i use that file directly on server site then its not working.Is there any permission or plugin needed to access json on server side.
If in url i pass the "http://some folders/places.php" then it not work.

Thanks to all. Its working now.I try it on phone and its working.Actually my AVG software block my emulator to access the internet. Thats why it was not working.

Play a video with Twitter4j

I'm building an app for Android to read twitter feed I got an issue to play video from a tweet. Currently my tweet feed is showing the thumb image and when I click on it, if it's an image I show the image and in case of a video I expect to be able to play it.
To load the image, I'm doing:
ImageLoader mImageLoader = new ImageLoader(mActivity);
mImageLoader.DisplayImage(mPicToShowUrl, tweet_pic) ;
mPicToShowUrl is coming from :
mediaEntity.getMediaURL().toString();
mediaEntity is coming from the Twitter4j Status.getExpandedURL
tweet_pic is just an ImageView
The URL get look like : example.com/xxx/status/89284924/video/1 which is mainly unusable on any player as it do not contain something like xxx.com/1.avi
This kind of URL and ImageLoader allow to load an image. I'm looking for the same method for a video
I think the twitter video is more a streaming video
Any idea how to play a video from twitter in an ImageView or any other View ?
Thanks

You need to look in the extended_entities of the response. You'll see something like
"extended_entities": {
"media": [

}
]
}
}
]
},
So, you need to access extended_entities->media->video_info->variants to see all the different sizes and formats of video available.
You can choose between different sizes of MP4, a WEBM, and a stream - depending on what is suitable for the device you're playing back on.
