contentDetails or duration not coming using Youtube v3 api

Question

Look at this link , there is an example given

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=7lCDEYXw3mM&key=YOUR_API_KEY
 &part=snippet,contentDeta         


        

Answer 1

Using your links above, here is a quick php example on how to make only those two calls for a maximum of 50 results per call

$JSON = file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=cats&fields=items%2CnextPageToken%2CprevPageToken%2CtokenPagination&maxResults=50&key={YOUR_API_KEY});

The above link will search for cats (q=cats) and will fetch maxResults=50.

Onwards, we store each id in a string divided by commas

$get_duration="";

foreach ($JSON_Data->items as $ids) {

        $get_duration .=$ids->id->videoId.",";
}

$get_duration = rtrim($get_duration, ",");

Finally, we make the second call using the batch ids contained in $get_duration and display the title and duration of each video

$JSON= file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails%2Cstatistics%2Cstatus&id='.$get_duration.'&key={YOUR_API_KEY}');

$JSON_Data = json_decode($JSON);

foreach ($JSON_Data->items as $ids) {

        $date = new DateTime('1970-01-01');
        $date->add(new DateInterval($ids->contentDetails->duration));
        echo "Title: ".$ids->snippet->title."\nDuration: {$date->format('H:i:s')}\n\n";
}

The result will be something like this
