2) https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?key=API_KEY&categoryId=GCQmVzdCBvZiBZb3VUdWJl&maxResults=10&part=snippet

categoryId=GCQmVzdCBvZiBZb3VUdWJl

retrieved from first api's response

2nd API's response. "items[]" is empty

{
    "kind": "youtube#channelListResponse",
    "etag": "\"m2yskBQFythfE4irbTIeOgYYfBU/JpsJe9kdx343U4W1AnbpwmYdffc\"",
    "pageInfo": {
        "totalResults": 0,
        "resultsPerPage": 10
    },
    "items": []
}

I have also created client id for android app, but don't know how to use it for you tube data api calling.

Expected result is: App should be able to call above API without asking user to use their mail account

I'm facing exactly the same issue, passing the categoryId returning empty channel list, changing the categoryId to "id" parameter and passing a channel Id I'm getting the response, if I try the same request using categoryId API explorer I'm getting the results, Only difference is in curl command im not passing any access Token only API , any update from your side for this – Sam

Try this url for fetch data from channel id 

"https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?key=" + API_KEY
        + "&channelId=" + CHANNEL_ID + "&part=snippet,id&order=date&maxResults=20";

Hope this work;
