YouTube authorization is channel based. You only have access to the channel that was selected when the user authorized the app. — Linda Lawton - DaImTo, Sep 08 '22 at 09:21
I have to fetch data from 10 different channel and that is not dynamic. I guess for ytdata API there is no need to authorization. The main issue is that i want to pass list into channelId — arpit, Sep 08 '22 at 09:30

YouTube Data API v3 Search: list endpoint can only filter for a single given YouTube channel id.

channelId
string
The channelId parameter indicates that the API response should only contain resources created by the channel.

Source: Search: list#channelId documentation.

So you are obliged to list video ids channel by channel and then regroup them.

Instead of using the 100 quota cost Search: list endpoint, you can use for a 1 quota cost Playlists: list to retrieve the uploads playlist id and then pass it to PlaylistItems: list, as described more precisely here.
