I'm currently trying to make a site which uploads all the videos from specific playlist of some channel. Like list of videos. And I found this video - link. And that's what I have now:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.get(
"",{
part : 'contentDetails',
forUsername : 'CHANNEL_NAME',
key: 'MY_KEY'},
function(data) {
$.each( data.items, function( i, item ) {
console.log(item);
})
}
);
});<script src=".4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>I'm currently trying to make a site which uploads all the videos from specific playlist of some channel. Like list of videos. And I found this video - link. And that's what I have now:

And even when I write just console.log('hi') I still have nothing. I just can't understand what's wrong. Anyway, I'd be very thankful for any help.

Reset to default 5If I understood your question correctly, you want to retrieve videos of a specific channel. You should use https://www.googleapis./youtube/v3/search endpoint instead of https://www.googleapis./youtube/v3/channels. So, I provided an example with channelId and type parameters; (type parameter can be video, playlist, channel)
$(document).ready(function() {
$.get(
"https://www.googleapis./youtube/v3/search",{
part : 'snippet',
channelId : 'UCR5wZcXtOUka8jTA57flzMg',
type : 'video',
key: 'MyKey'},
function(data) {
$.each( data.items, function( i, item ) {
console.log(item);
})
}
);
});
This will get you videos of a channel. If you want to get playlists of channel just change type parameter to playlist. Here is the official documentation.
So if anyone wonders, here's finished code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$.get(
"https://www.googleapis./youtube/v3/search",{
part : 'snippet',
channelId : 'CHANNEL_ID', // You can get one from Advanced settings on YouTube
type : 'video',
key: 'YOUR_KEY'},
function(data) {
$.each( data.items, function( i, item ) {
$('#results').append('<li>https://www.youtube./embed/' + item.id.videoId + '</li>');
})
}
);
