Question

I am wondering if there is a way to query YouTube for multiple random videos (video id\'s are known) in a single query? I am storing video id\'s in the local db and need to show

Answer 1

In Youtube Data API version 3.0 You can do it in a simple way like this.

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?key=API_KEY&part=snippet&id=video_id1,video_id2

Just add your video ids separated by comma. It will fetch you the data for all videos in JSON

I dont know what is the limit on this, will update the answer once I find it.
