In order to get basic info of a youtube video based on its ID This would work:
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequest;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpRequestInitializer;
import com.google.api.services.youtube.YouTube;
import com.google.api.services.youtube.model.Video;
import com.google.api.services.youtube.model.VideoListResponse;
import duck.reg.pack.Auth;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.math.BigInteger;
public class DBConnect {
public String getyoutubeitemfull_details() throws SQLException, IOException{
try {
YouTube youtube = new YouTube.Builder(Auth.HTTP_TRANSPORT, Auth.JSON_FACTORY, new HttpRequestInitializer() {
@Override
public void initialize(HttpRequest request) throws IOException {
}
}).setApplicationName("APP_ID").build();
String apiKey = "Your Private Api Key"; // you can get it from https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
YouTube.Videos.List listVideosRequest = youtube.videos().list("statistics");
listVideosRequest.setId("yVcMc9HVXvc"); // add list of video IDs here
listVideosRequest.setKey(apiKey);
VideoListResponse listResponse = listVideosRequest.execute();
Video video = listResponse.getItems().get(0);
BigInteger viewCount = video.getStatistics().getViewCount();
BigInteger Likes = video.getStatistics().getLikeCount();
BigInteger DisLikes = video.getStatistics().getDislikeCount();
BigInteger Comments = video.getStatistics().getCommentCount();
System.out.println("[View Count] " + viewCount);
System.out.println("[Likes] " + Likes);
System.out.println("[Dislikes] " + DisLikes);
System.out.println("[Comments] " + Comments);
} catch (GoogleJsonResponseException e) {
System.err.println("There was a service error: " + e.getDetails().getCode() + " : "
+ e.getDetails().getMessage());
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("There was an IO error: " + e.getCause() + " : " + e.getMessage());
} catch (Throwable t) {
t.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
Note: duck.reg.pack.Auth is required for the API to work, but normally Auth class doesn't come with the youtube API libs. So what you can do is to create a new class calling it Auth and Copy/Paste bellow code:
Auth.java:
import com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.Credential;
import com.google.api.client.auth.oauth2.StoredCredential;
import com.google.api.client.extensions.java6.auth.oauth2.AuthorizationCodeInstalledApp;
import com.google.api.client.extensions.jetty.auth.oauth2.LocalServerReceiver;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow;
import com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleClientSecrets;
import com.google.api.client.http.HttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.http.javanet.NetHttpTransport;
import com.google.api.client.json.JsonFactory;
import com.google.api.client.json.jackson2.JacksonFactory;
import com.google.api.client.util.store.DataStore;
import com.google.api.client.util.store.FileDataStoreFactory;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.util.List;
/**
* Shared class used by every sample. Contains methods for authorizing a user and caching credentials.
*/
public class Auth {
/**
* Define a global instance of the HTTP transport.
*/
public static final HttpTransport HTTP_TRANSPORT = new NetHttpTransport();
/**
* Define a global instance of the JSON factory.
*/
public static final JsonFactory JSON_FACTORY = new JacksonFactory();
/**
* This is the directory that will be used under the user's home directory where OAuth tokens will be stored.
*/
private static final String CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY = ".oauth-credentials";
/**
* Authorizes the installed application to access user's protected data.
*
* @param scopes list of scopes needed to run youtube upload.
* @param credentialDatastore name of the credential datastore to cache OAuth tokens
*/
public static Credential authorize(List<String> scopes, String credentialDatastore) throws IOException {
// Load client secrets.
Reader clientSecretReader = new InputStreamReader(Auth.class.getResourceAsStream("/client_secrets.json"));
GoogleClientSecrets clientSecrets = GoogleClientSecrets.load(JSON_FACTORY, clientSecretReader);
// Checks that the defaults have been replaced (Default = "Enter X here").
if (clientSecrets.getDetails().getClientId().startsWith("Enter")
|| clientSecrets.getDetails().getClientSecret().startsWith("Enter ")) {
System.out.println(
"Enter Client ID and Secret from https://console.developers.google.com/project/_/apiui/credential "
+ "into src/main/resources/client_secrets.json");
System.exit(1);
}
// This creates the credentials datastore at ~/.oauth-credentials/${credentialDatastore}
FileDataStoreFactory fileDataStoreFactory = new FileDataStoreFactory(new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/" + CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY));
DataStore<StoredCredential> datastore = fileDataStoreFactory.getDataStore(credentialDatastore);
GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow flow = new GoogleAuthorizationCodeFlow.Builder(
HTTP_TRANSPORT, JSON_FACTORY, clientSecrets, scopes).setCredentialDataStore(datastore)
.build();
// Build the local server and bind it to port 8080
LocalServerReceiver localReceiver = new LocalServerReceiver.Builder().setPort(8080).build();
// Authorize.
return new AuthorizationCodeInstalledApp(flow, localReceiver).authorize("user");
}
}
Then just call getyoutubeitemfull_details as:
DBConnect youtube_binfo = new DBConnect();
youtube_info.getyoutubeitemfull_details();
Thanks to @Stultuske with helping me finding my solution.
