Order Doesn't Work When Using Youtube API V3

I am trying to get the last 10 videos of a channel. When I run the following code: from apiclient.discovery import build API_SERVICE_NAME = 'youtube' API_VERSION = 'v3' def youtub

Solution 1:

Follow-up on issue #128673552, https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/128673552.

Solution 2:

You can use a workaround. Instead using the search.list request, retrieve the uploaded videos.

By using the channel_id change the letter as is explained here:

channel_id: UCq-Fj5jknLsUf-MWSy4_brA

upload_playlist_id: UUq-Fj5jknLsUf-MWSy4_brA

Use the PlaylistItems.list request for retrieve the uploaded videos from a given channel.

This is the URL request:

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails&playlistId=<UPLOAD_PLAYLIST_ID>&fields=items(contentDetails(videoId%2CvideoPublishedAt)%2Csnippet(position%2Ctitle)%2Cstatus)&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

And those are the results:

{
 "items": [
  {
   "snippet": {
    "title": "Notebook | Main Taare | Teaser | Salman Khan | Pranutan Bahl | Zaheer Iqbal | Vishal Mishra",
    "position": 0
   },
   "contentDetails": {
    "videoId": "_wXRw1BMifw",

   }
  },
