Sorting Youtube API result from playlist

Question

I have been struggling with Youtube\'s API v3 now and I can\'t get it work in the way I want. My goal is to load the latest videos from a selected playlist into my website.

Answer 1

The current API doesn't have a sorting option for listing playlist items, but if you are inserting the items programmatically, you can specify the position value when inserting to make new videos appear at the top of the list.

If it's someone else that is adding the videos, than you'll have to get all pages. Since the playlists are limited to 200 items, this requires 4 requests at most. Not ideal, but it's the only option now.
