How to get the total number of videos in a YouTube channel?

Question

I want to get the count of the total no of video uploaded to a YouTube channel using YouTube analytics API. Can any one please tell me the correct metric and dimension combination for this?

Answer 1

You can use the following URL for the Data API:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&forUsername=VideoLecturesChannel&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Look for statistics.videoCount in the response. The docs for the endpoint are here.
