Answer 1

Check Out YouTube AutoComplete Keyword Scraper . Not really sure of the context the person asking the question wants YouTube auto complete solution for but I thought I would throw this out there.

Answer 2

Ok I found this URL:

http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=firefox&ds=yt&q=Query

It isn't part of Youtube API, but still works, returns a JSON response.

Answer 3

For json just add "client" parameter:

http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?client=youtube&ds=yt&client=firefox&q=Query

Answer 4

Above all apis are old and give google search suggestion not youtube search suggestion

Use this:

https://clients1.google.com/complete/search?client=youtube&gs_ri=youtube&ds=yt&q=faded

Extract suggestions using following JS code:

//  data is response of above api
   const data = 'window.google.ac.h(["faded",[["faded",0,[433]],["faded alan walker lyrics",0,[433]],["faded remix",0,[433]],["faded 8d",0,[433]],["faded piano",0,[433]],["faded wheel free fire",0],["faded karaoke",0,[433]],["faded ringtone",0,[433]],["faded instrumental",0,[433]],["faded live",0,[433]],["faded piano tutorial",0,[433]],["faded whatsapp status",0,[433]],["faded dhol cover",0,[433]],["faded dance",0,[433]]],{"k":1,"q":"_sPyvXmmbfcsVtfP4sgjOdKQAvg"}])';

    const searchSuggestions = [];
    data.split('[').forEach((ele, index) => {
      if (!ele.split('"')[1] || index === 1) return;
        return searchSuggestions.push(ele.split('"')[1]);
    });
    console.log(searchSuggestions);
