How to Get List of YouTube Channel Videos using YouTube API?
Iβve got 150+ videos on @SupeRails Youtube channel, and now I want to list them on my own superails.com website.
I could copypaste the information manually, but that would take ages.
I could use web scraping, but what's the point, if there is an easy to use Youtube API?
In this episode we will:
β
Learn basics of using Google Cloud Console βοΈ
β
Enable and use Youtube API
β
LIST videos from ANY channel
β
Get detailed info for any particular video
β
Paginate API results
β
Store results in our local database πΎ

Use ActiveJob to do it all async
