Sorting videos from a channel over method search.list stopped working for about three days back.
I tried too in Api explorer from google on web:
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/?hl=en_US#p/youtube/v3/youtube.search.list?part=snippet&channelId=UCPvnjqveFmBfTWBVShPIcZg&maxResults=5&order=rating&_h=10
Can this be solved on my side?
Is there another way to get all the videos from the channel to be returned via api?
This is an issue of Youtube Data API.
Already reported this issue by someone on Google forum and below is reply from Google employee:
https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/2494861?msgid=2520468
YouTube is aware the search/sorting functions aren't working as
expected – this is temporary and part of our efforts to better
respond, review and remove graphic, violative content from YouTube.
Thanks for your patience while we work through this. Will update this
thread when these features are working normally again, feel free to
subscribe for updates.
Also, Bugs are reported for this on issue tracker:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/128673031
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/128673552
Both issue have comment from Google employee as below:
Thank you all for bringing this up here. These specific filters have been currently disabled on both YouTube.com and through the APIs.
We should have updates on this soon. Thanks again.
Update on 27/3:
Now it's working normally again, as per threads.

I want to be able to pull all text messages from a google chat space.
I'm looking at the spaces.messages.getbut it assumes you have the ID of a message. In similar programs (MS Teams), you can call an endpoint to list all message ID and then call the message API to extract the contents of an ID. However, google chat has no such API.
Has anyone come across a way to do this?
This is currently not possible
There is already a respective feature request on Google Issue's Tracker.
I recomment you to star it to increase visibility and hope that it will be implemented soon.
Re golang YouTube API, I would like to know what calls to perform to make a slate image appear in the middle of a livestream. Reading the API documentation here, it's suggested that the "control" operation is used to achieve this, however, this operation is not supported by the API in the latest version. I did find this functionality in a prior version (v0.3.2); why would this have been removed and what is the replacement ?
Cheers,
Saxon
The API behavior you're experiencing is documented officially, as per this excerpt from the official specification of the liveBroadcasts.control API endpoint:
Note: The liveBroadcasts.control method has been deprecated and will stop working on or after 1 October 2020. After that date, all calls to this method will return a forbidden (403) error, and the method will later be completely removed.
Clients can still implement their own slating by adding an overlay to the video sent to YouTube’s ingestion servers. See deprecation announcement.
There's nothing you can do about that, but only to file a feature request directly to Google in the attempt to make the company reinstate the feature that it retracted from the current API.
In my opinion (which is based on the experience of several years of monitoring the SO tags youtube-api, youtube-data-api and youtube-livestreaming-api), waiting for Google to respond to you here on SO is waste of time. Just do what I already recommended you to do in my comments posted under your question above: reach out directly to Google (through the company's official issue tracker site) for to obtain official accounts from the company's staff.
I have read a helpful post for grades...
Is there an API for extracting grades in Google Classroom
and the API for grading...
https://developers.google.com/classroom/guides/manage-coursework#grade_student_responses
but haven't been able to see anything for rubric grading data yet. Or am I missing it?
Answer:
Unfortunately, at this time, there isn't a way of getting Rubrics from the Classroom API.
Feature Request:
There is already a report on Google's Issue Tracker which request this feature to be added to the API:
Add Rubrics to Classroom API
It appears that Google does seem to know about this and has responded on the above feature request. What you can do it hit the ☆ next to the issue number in the top left on the aforementioned page - this lets Google know more people are wanting this feature to be implemented and so it is more likely to be seen to faster.
I need to get the title of the currently playing video in my Firefox browser from an external app using youtube API, or at least my last played video in my YT account. The goal is to get the name of the song i'm listening to and putting it in a file. I've got another app (using Discord API) that will read it and use it.
My first idea was to get the watch history, but this function was removed from the API since late 2016.
I managed to authentificate my Google application to access my own channel with Oauth 2.0, but from here I'm stuck. There don't seem to be any request that gets your own last watched video.
I also thought of a completely different way, by using a Firefox extension to get the title, but storing it and passing it to the other app will not be an easy thing (localStorage and sessionStorage are both in AppData folder, and my other app can't access it).
Does anybody know a way to do this? I'm starting to be kind of desperate.
I was looking for something similar and came across this in my search: Cross-Domain Cookies
Sharing cookies between 2 applications via a 3rd party might be of help here although it would complicate things.
As of today (5/25/2016) there seems to no longer be data for user_ratings_total in the Google Places API. I use this to get the total number of reviews for a business. Is there an alternative method to getting this data?
If you would like Google to reinstate the previously undocumented user_ratings_total result key (or something similar), then please go to: https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=3484 and add your vote for this feature to be officially added.
This issue was "Acknowledged" by Google way back on Jun 3, 2013 and is still open as such (other similar issues like https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=9824 have been "closed" with status like "WorkingAsIntended").
Hopefully if we get enough up votes then maybe they will see the need and put it back in and make it official (as opposed to undocumented).
(Unfortunately I couldn't post this as a Comment as I just registered; so I'm going to post it as an Answer and hope it is okay.)
I'd try the Google My Business API, see in particular the documentation section Work with Review Data.
You'll need to Request access to the API.
This is fixed now. Reposting a comment from the issue linked to above by #TechLeadAA
The total amount of ratings is now generally available for all Places
API clients as part of the Basic SKU:
https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/details#fields
https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/place-data-fields#basic
Places API: user_ratings_total
Places SDK for iOS: GMSPlaceFieldUserRatingsTotal
Places SDK for Android: Place.Field.USER_RATINGS_TOTAL
I'm facing the same issue, and it looks like total number of reviews from Google Places API is not the same as Google My Business API:
