Anybody know if this is available in the YouTube API? I'm pretty sure you can retrieve feeds for shows, but I'm at a loss as far as how to add a video to a season using the .Net (or any other) APIs.
Basically, everything I do revolves on playlists. I add vids to playlists, and then use the API to run through each video to update descriptions and tags, add video responses, and I'd like to add those videos to seasons in corresponding shows at the same time. Huge time-saver to be able to automate that process.
The part I'm missing is how to add videos to a particular season for a show.
There's nothing in the public GData APIs that allow you to modify the metadata for Shows.

Youtube is now enforcing the FTC's COPPA act. That means all creators need to specify whether or not their video is made for children.
I have an app which will livestream and upload video via the Java youtube API. But even with the newest API there does not seem to be a way to specify whether or not the video is made for children. Does anyone know what to use to specify this and how? Is it a hidden property in the snippets object? Thanks.
YouTube seem to have updated the API documentation now.
As one example of where it's mentioned: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/revision_history
I've just started trying it out and it seems to work.
This official support document says:
We'll make the audience selection tool available to third-party applications and the YouTube API Services in the near future. For now, please use YouTube Studio to upload made for kid's content.
08.01.2020.
There seem to be no API references that allow streams or videos to be marked as "Made for Kids" or "Not Made for Kids".
Currently, the only way is via channel settings for all videos/streams or for each stream/video independently.
Further information will be provided via updates to this answer.
So, guys when you are uploading a video, in the status field add a property called "selfDeclaredMadeForKids". You can set its value as True or False.
The code below is in #python.
status=dict(
privacyStatus='public',
selfDeclaredMadeForKids=False
)
I want to create an app for a website that I don't own, like youtube or reddit. Every time I search for help, all I keep getting is how to create a webview. I've done that but that's not what I want. I want to take the website's content and create an app with it, like create my own buttons and such. I want to convert a website into an app.
I was thinking of somehow loading the website in the background and creating activities/buttons/intents that basically do what the webpage does but I don't know how to go about that or if there's a better way.
Thank you in advance.
Please let me know if clarification is needed.
Alright i got -3 votes for some reason and it has been 12 hours since i posted this question, i'm guessing the question has been consumed by the abyss of questions by now.
I made a reddit post and got some responses:
one user:
The term you’re looking for is “web scraping“ or “site scraping”. I think that’s probably what you need to research before you’re ready to handle how to make that into an app.
That’s a good starting point and once you have the content from scraping, making the app is no different than any other app.
second user:
If the website has a public (or private) API, you can use your buttons and networking calls to their API to build your client app. You are building a "YouTube client" in this case using the YouTube API.
If they dont have an API and you don't want to display their website, what you are doing is trying to reverse engineer their website and hijack the UI which is not a good practice and may even be illegal depending on the site and terms.
third user:
#second user is right on the money, but one thing I'll like to add is, the goal is to get data off of the website so that you can use in your app. An API is one (convenient) way of doing that but others are,
RSS or similar feed content (prefer this if there website supports)
HTML scraping
The above two will require you store the data somewhere else (and possible expose an API instead) because of technical reasons: you don't have access to older entries in RSS feeds and it's atrocious to keep on scraping everytime you need to access the website data. They can be done on the client (mobile app) but are best done on a server. This means you might need to get your hands dirty writing server code but you don't have to.
/thread
I'm going to do research on website scrapping and APIs to see which route i should go.
Hopefully this helped someone else.
Is there a way to find a list of videos that have been removed from a youtube account?
I am using the youtube api to list all videos for a youtube account.
I originally load all videos contained within the users 'uploaded' playlsits. After completion I Poll every day to check if there are any videos that have been added after the last video I retrieved. This means if any videos are added they will be returned.
I am storing all of these videos within my program.
However I cannot find a way through the Youtube data API to retrieve a list of all videos that have been deleted / all videos that have been deleted since a certain point in time. I am going with public method rather than requiring authentication.
I don't want to have to do a check on all videos within the system to check they still exist, but if the video does not exist an error is displayed within youtube.
Is there such a call in the youtube api to return deleted videos since a point in time?
Sort of. And there are many ways a previously public video can no longer be seen.
When a video is deleted by the user, the status is changed to 'DELETED' for a time before the video is completely removed from YouTube.
A video can also be REJECTED by YouTube for violations and removed.
A user can change the status from PUBLIC to PRIVATE.
etc.
If you are using WordPress I would recommend the plugin Video Link Checker.
I don't think the api would be able allow this after they delete it, but if you have the list already such as Video1, Video2, Video3, and they delete it, you should be able to search for the list you have already and find that one of the videos is missing.
I'm trying to implement an Android activity witch shows a list of images of the user's friends that use the same app also (like in Tinder app). I've searched the web for days and everything I found is too old or doesn't seem to work properly (mainly because they are all based on earlier versions of facebook SDK).
Can somebody please attached an explanation, or even better, an open source of example like that.
There's an example in the docs. I wonder how you didn't find that...

As I'm developping an application for hikers, I want to be able to store, somewhere in the device memory, the portion of the map where the user will travel. This is necessary because those places are generally out of any network reach.
Does anyone know how I can do that?
This is not alowed under the google licence so you should not even look at trying.
You could use another mapping source e.g. OpenStreetMap. There is an android Library osmdroid that I have managed to get to work. With this you can legaly cache the tiles. As for how to get them I have not implemented that yet but if the user looks at the area of interest first manualy it is just working for me.
Somthing cleverer will take more work but should be possible.
