You can do this to retrieve the channel id:
Retrieve Youtube Channel info for "Vanity" channel
And later, with channel id you can retrieve the channel's playlists:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlists
And then you can use each playlist id to retrieve the PlayListItems, and in this way retrieve all the videoIds in the channel:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems

Refer to this page from google to see example how to get uploaded video of specified channel:
- It retrieves the playlist ID for videos uploaded to the user's channel using the API's channels.list method.
- It passes that ID to the playlistItems.list method to retrieve the videos in that list.
I've been watching a persons channel who does let's plays. How i find his videos is by clicking on his channel name, then clicking on videos. From there i can sort the videos by (newest-oldest), (oldest-newest), or by (popularity). When i scroll down the page and reach the end of the videos that are loaded i notice a "Load More" button. If i click that, then more videos load. If i click it a bunch of times, eventually it disappears and the channel will not load any more videos. Even though i know that there is only a tiny fraction off all the videos loaded it won't load any more. How am i soposed to see all of his let's plays unless i can load all of the videos. I can't even search for the titles of the lets plays because i don't know all the titles that he has done.
Is there any way to view all of the uploaded videos on a channel? This guy has 2,660 videos loaded and youtube will only display a small fraction of them. I even tried to hit "load more" a bunch of times while sorted as (newest-oldest) on one tab, and (oldest-newest) on another tab. But there are still a TON of videos in the middle that youtube will not display.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I've searched for the problem and can only find people saying that the "load more" button is gone from the very beginning. The problem that i have is the "load more" button but it disappears after i have clicked it about 20 times. I would expect the "load more" button to disappear eventually, after it loads every video, but it disappeares well before that.

You can "shortcut" to any channel's upload playlist by following this method:

This way you don't even need to rely on the load more button because all the videos will be in a playlist.
Yeah, playlists are there for this purpose anyway but jesus fragging christ, 2,660 videos...
I have about 500 channels I'm subscribed to. I wanted to do some spring cleaning but I realized there's no good way to list them, is there something I'm missing?
In the menu only options I see are Subscriptions, which lists the latest videos, and the side menu where all the channels are smushed into the left side, and you basically have to go through all of them opening each in a new tab.
Is there any faster way to go through all of your subs?
Umm, how do I find my channel lineup? I've looked on line on their website with no luck. I know I found it before because I took off channels I did not watch and rearranged the list. So frustrating for such a simple task.
Also, I wish they would alert us when they add a channel or special viewing for a paid channel. They sure alert us to all the sports stuff!
I just switched to a new computer and channel's videos are in grid view instead of list view (as it was on my old computer). Add "?sort=dd&view=0&flow=grid" to the URL no longer works. Any idea how to get the list view back?
The first thing to do is to get the Guide Category ID that you're interested in. If you do a call to
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/guideCategories?part=snippet&hl=en®ionCode=US&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
where the hl parameter is the language and the regionCode is the country code (as some categories may not be available for particular languages/regions), you'll get a list of all the categories and their IDs.
For example, that call tells us that the Beauty and Fashion guide category ID is GCQmVhdXR5ICYgRmFzaGlvbg. With that ID, we can then do a channels list call:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet&maxResults=50&categoryId=GCQmVhdXR5ICYgRmFzaGlvbg&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
This will give you 50 channels in that category. It will also give you a 'nextPageToken' ... you do the same request as above, but add "&pageToken={WHATEVER THAT NEXT PAGE TOKEN VALUE IS}" to get the next 50, and so on.
You can retrieve up to 500 that way ... that's the limit through the API.
Note that all of these calls require an API key from console.developers.google.com

You can list the channel in selected category and many other options.
