YouTube Data Overview#

The YouTube Data API lets you incorporate functions normally executed on the YouTube website into your own website or application. You can perform operations like searching for videos, retrieving channel data, and managing playlists. When integrated with Pipedream's serverless platform, this API can be part of automations that react to events, synchronize YouTube data with other services, or generate custom reports.

Trigger Code#

import youtubeDataApi from "../../youtube_data_api.app.mjs"; import common from "./common.mjs"; export default { ...common, type: "source", key: "youtube_data_api-new-videos-by-handle", name: "New Videos by Handle", description: "Emit new event for each new Youtube video tied to a handle.", version: "0.0.2", dedupe: "unique", props: { youtubeDataApi, ...common.props, }, };

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
YouTube Data	`youtubeDataApi`	`app`	This component uses the YouTube Data app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the YouTube API on this schedule
Handle	`handle`	`string`	Search for new videos uploaded by the YouTube Handle. Handles appear at the end of a channel's URL. For example, if the channel URL is `https://www.youtube.com/@pipedreamhq`, the Handle is `@pipedreamhq`.

Trigger Authentication#

YouTube Data uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your YouTube Data account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into YouTube Data and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any YouTube Data API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:

emailprofilehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonlyhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.uploadhttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubehttps://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl
