Channel › Videos
Returns recent videos published by a channel, each with title, view count, duration, thumbnail, and publish date; pass includeExtras=true to add like and comment counts.
Use it for a channel's regular uploads; channel/shorts covers Shorts, channel/lives covers streams, channel/community-posts covers text posts.
Metered: 10–20 credits. We reserve the ceiling when the call starts and charge what it actually used when it finishes.
Paginates by cursor: see Pagination.

Query parameters
YouTube channel ID. Provide at least one of: channelId, handle.
YouTube channel handle without the @ symbol. Provide at least one of: channelId, handle.
Only videos published on or after this date: YYYY-MM-DD (midnight UTC) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Older videos are left off the page, and the page that reaches one ends the walk: next_cursor is not returned and pagination.stopped_at is since. Pinned videos sit out of date order and never end the walk. The page still costs what a page costs, so a daily poll pays for the pages it walks and no more.
The id (post.id) or URL (post.url) of the newest video you already hold. The page stops just before it: that video and everything after it are left off, next_cursor is not returned, and pagination.stopped_at is known_id. A pinned video never counts as the stop point. If it is not on this page the page is returned in full with its cursor, so keep walking. pagination.stopped_at is end when the list ran out first and null while there is more to walk.
Sort by latest or popular
Set to true to add the like count and comment count (post.engagement.likes / .comments) and the video description (post.ext.description). For the full per-video detail use /v1/youtube/video. Slows the response slightly.
Set to 'true' to search YouTube's public paid product placement / sponsorship / endorsement surface: returns normal videos where the creator disclosed a paid promotion.
Set to channel (one token only) to add the channel's subscriber count to every row (post.ext.author_followers, YouTube's own figure, rounded to three significant figures above 1,000) plus post.author.display_name, .avatar_url and author.id where missing. Adds well under a second (never more than 8).
Exact publish dates are on by default and free. Set to false to skip the lookup: rows then carry YouTube's own date estimate (a day-granular or coarser label truncated to midnight UTC), marked by post.ext.published_precision and post.ext.published_label, and the listing title, marked by post.ext.title_maybe_translated.
Only rows published on or before this date: YYYY-MM-DD (that whole UTC day is included) or an ISO 8601 timestamp. Newer rows are left off each page and the walk does not stop, so older pages follow. A row with no date is kept.
The pagination.next_cursor from the previous page, sent back unchanged. Omit it for the first page.
Set to 1 to get the price of this call without making it: data.dry_run carries credits_min and credits_max. Nothing is charged.
Response
Success.
