Youtube Data API v3: Sort by date not working

Question

The sorting is not working as expected since a few hours.

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?order=date&part=snippet&channelId=UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM

Answer 1

In case you are looking to get the latest videos of a channel:

• Get the channels upload playlist from Channels
• Get the latest videos in the channels upload playlist from PlaylistItems

Alternatively, you can use the channels RSS feed:

• https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={ChannelId}
• https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user={User}

This does not replace the full search sorted by date function however.

Thanks YouTube for making me work on a Sunday, all I wanted was to watch the latest videos from my favorite channels. At least I don't have to wait for a fix anymore, good luck to those less lucky!
