I have a request to the Google play games API Events.record that always returns with the error TIME_PERIOD_SHORT. Below is the Event Record Request Resource. Can you help me spot my error?
{
"timePeriods": [{
"timePeriod": {
"periodEndMillis": 1460691042546,
"periodStartMillis": 1460691039815,
"kind": "games#eventPeriodRange"
},
"updates": [{
"updateCount": 3,
"kind": "games#eventUpdateRequest",
"definitionId": "CgkIiLWAzPEJEAIQAg"

"kind": "games#eventPeriodUpdate"
}],
"kind": "games#eventRecordRequest",
"requestId": 1460691043076,
"currentTimeMillis": 1460691043076
}
My response shows the following error even though in this example this batch period is 2731 millis. I've even pushed it out to 30 seconds and I still get this error.
{
"eventFailures": [],
"batchFailures": [{
"range": {
"periodEndMillis": "1460691042546",
"periodStartMillis": "1460691039815",
"kind": "games#eventPeriodRange"
},
"failureCause": "TIME_PERIOD_SHORT",
"kind": "games#eventBatchRecordFailure"
}],
"playerEvents": [],
"kind": "games#eventUpdateResponse"
}

Introducing handles: A new way to identify your YouTube channel
Does the YouTube Data API support querying for a channel by it's #handle? This does not seem to be supported.
ex: https://www.youtube.com/#lionsgatemovies
forUsername param
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=id,snippet&forUsername=#lionsgatemovies
{
"kind": "youtube#channelListResponse",
"etag": "RuuXzTIr0OoDqI4S0RU6n4FqKEM",
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 0,
"resultsPerPage": 5
}
}
id param
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=id,snippet&id=#lionsgatemovies
{
"kind": "youtube#channelListResponse",
"etag": "RuuXzTIr0OoDqI4S0RU6n4FqKEM",
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 0,
"resultsPerPage": 5
}
}
None of the supported filter params seem to be appropriate:
{
"error": {
"code": 400,
"message": "No filter selected. Expected one of: mySubscribers, forUsername, mine, managedByMe, categoryId, id",
"errors": [
{
"message": "No filter selected. Expected one of: mySubscribers, forUsername, mine, managedByMe, categoryId, id",
"domain": "youtube.parameter",

}
]
}
}
You can use Search API with q parameter set to #handle
curl \

As of this moment (17th Nov 2022), YouTube has yet to update the Data API with #handle support.
The channelId was scattered around in the Html. You can easily parse them after fetching the url with the handle.
const html = await(await fetch(url)).text()
const channelId = html.match(/(?<=channelId(":"|"\scontent="))[^"]+/g)[0];
Following is the python snippet while we are waiting for YouTube API's official support. This is inspired by goodhyun's wonderful thoughts.
import requests
import re
# return YouTube channel id via handle or False if failed
def scraping_get_channel_id_from_handle(handle:str):
if handle.find('#') == -1:
handle = '#' + handle
url = 'https://www.youtube.com/' + handle
resp = requests.get(url)
if resp.status_code == 200:
found = re.findall('"channelId":"([^"]*)","title"', resp.text)
return found[0]
else:
return False
I am trying to create conversions using "Method: conversions.batchinsert" from the API Explorer provided by google on the same API page.

For the channel.list function of the YouTube API are you able to call statistics for any channel on YouTube? Reviewing the below call parameters it seems all require you to be the owner of that channel to receive any information on that channel.
I've also tried the API test to see if I can receive data by username for the channel but doesn't seem to work. Beginner so if anyone could help out I'd much appreciate it!
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list?apix_params=%7B%22forUsername%22%3A%22Peter%20McKinnon%22%7D
You do not need to be the owner of the channel you just need the channel Id. You can tests this using the try me on channel.list its a public api call.

I am not getting "nextPageToken" in the response object when I tried to retrieve list of users who subscribed to our channels using YT Data API (v3) Subscription. For some reason YT not returning "nextPageToken" even though below channel has more than 100K subscribers so could you please advise me on how to be able to fetch next pages of subscribers. Same behavior happening when I tried with any of channels from our CMS account:
Request:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/subscriptions?onBehalfOfContentOwner=xxxx&onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel=xxxxxxxxxxx&fields=items(contentDetails,id,snippet(publishedAt,channelId),subscriberSnippet(title,description)),nextPageToken,pageInfo,tokenPagination&maxResults=50&mySubscribers=true&part=id,snippet,contentDetails,subscriberSnippet&key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Here is sample response snippet (I trimmed out other 48 items from below list and intentionally masked out subscriber details)
{
"items": [
{
"snippet": {
"channelId": "UCUR8UieACc2QXl7waH821hQ",

}
}
"Known" (Hopefully also to Google) bug:
https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=7163 and youtube.subscriptions.list (api v3) - nextPageToken isn't available
For the time being, I've came up with a token generator as a workaround (see other SO post, or here: https://gist.github.com/pulsar256/f5621e85ef50711adc6f)
I am using the Google + API to fetch a users' public activities, using the appropriate endpoint.
However, Google returns the activities in no particular order - Here is a snippet:
{
"kind": "plus#activity",
"published": "2014-07-31T13:40:41.017Z"
},
{
"kind": "plus#activity",
"published": "2014-08-27T01:51:25.378Z"
},
{
"kind": "plus#activity",
"published": "2014-09-05T02:52:33.654Z"
},
{
"kind": "plus#activity",
"published": "2014-08-12T18:00:59.920Z"
},
{
"kind": "plus#activity",
"published": "2014-08-14T18:52:00.420Z"
},
{
"kind": "plus#activity",
"published": "2014-08-01T13:41:10.034Z"
},
//[...]
So what do I have to pass into the request to get Google to send me the response in order from most recent to oldest? -- or is this something I have to do, myself?
Based on the documentation and on this issue, I'd say this is not possible at the moment with the list method, only with search.
