如何使用Youtube Go API获取视频信息？

Question

I simply want to do something like:

curl "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id=${ID}&part=snippet&key=${KEY}"

With the Go API to figure out the date of an uploaded video. However after pouring over https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/api/youtube/v3 and the reference, I frustratingly can't figure out how to do this basic task.

I can see VideoSnippet in the godoc, but I don't know how to discover what call returns that.

Answer 1

Use /youtube/v3/videos (to search) with query parameter part=snippet. Each returned item will contain a snippet object with the publish date.

{
    "kind": "youtube#videoListResponse",
    "etag": "\"Bdx4f4ps3xCOOo1WZ91nTLkRZ_c/Eemxf1NUP9tlqRv5dvxAjeicTjI\"",
    "pageInfo": {
        "totalResults": 1,
        "resultsPerPage": 1
    },
    "items": [{

            "kind": "youtube#video",
            "etag": "\"Bdx4f4ps3xCOOo1WZ91nTLkRZ_c/tq9JVgQy7-68z3ESgWpT0bHx5BE\"",
            "id": "9bZkp7q19f0",
            "snippet": {
                "publishedAt": "2012-07-15T07:46:32.000Z",
                ...

Example with curl + jq ❤:

$ curl "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=9bZkp7q19f0&key=$KEY" -s | jq -r '.items[0].snippet.publishedAt'
