How to get recommended videos in youtube/v3? #228

Open mvrozanti opened 5 years ago

mvrozanti commented 5 years ago

I tried using activities and search both fiddling with home and mine paremeters but no combination seem to get something like the recommendations in my regular YouTube feed. Did they completely remove this feature as of v3?

I am also looking for this information. Any news?

mvrozanti commented 5 years ago

I have theorized as to why I got no response. Google is not giving us access to this because it would allow for people to mine information and that might just go against the very essence of their recommendation algorithm.

It's a bummer because all I wanted to do was make a terminal youtube client and not mine stuff. This is why we can't have nice things

of course gapi.client.youtube.videos.list({ part: 'snippet,id', chart: 'mostPopular', regionCode: 'RU', maxResults: 8 })

I am having the same issue. There are related issues in the Issue Tracker but was not able to find any solutions other than scraping data with a browser automation tool.
