How can I get all "Auto-generated by YouTube" videos from a channel?

Here is an example song: La bohème - Kendji Girac

I didn't get it from its channel and even from search results. I got it from a playlist.

It is showing Auto-generated by YouTube.

How can I get all these videos from a specific channel?

CodePudding user response：

You have to get the channel_id of the video you want to get the data from.

For getting the channel_id using the video_id, you can use the videos:list endpoint of the YouTube Data API - example.

In this case, the channel_id of the video wauQivFuVhw is: UCNpFcllBHQk9wepKzMtouSQ.

Then, with this channel_id, change the second character to U as follows:

• Unmodified: UCNpFcllBHQk9wepKzMtouSQ
• Modified: UUNpFcllBHQk9wepKzMtouSQ

This modified id is the Uploads playlist of that said YouTube channel.

With this Uploads playlist_id, you can use the Playlistitem:list endpoint of the YouTube Data API to retrieve all the uploaded videos from the autogenerated channel.

This is the example with the uploads playlist_id described in this answer.

I'm not satisfied with answers, what to do after getting all details of the channel in a JSON file. I want videos to add in a playlist. Specify next steps for Windows
