Thread: Not getting ALL the Youtube results

Hi

I'm using below code snippet to fetch Youtube video titles, when you enter a query into a listbox, and press the search button:

Code:

private void button_search_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            YouTubeQuery query = new YouTubeQuery(YouTubeQuery.DefaultVideoUri);


            //order results by the number of views (most viewed first)
            //query.OrderBy = "viewCount";


            query.Query = textBox_query.Text; // get query from the text box. ex. "Joe Rogan"
            query.SafeSearch = YouTubeQuery.SafeSearchValues.None;


            Feed<Video> videoFeed = request.Get<Video>(query);


            printVideoFeed(videoFeed);
        }

// Enumerate feeds
void printVideoFeed(Feed<Video> feed)
        {
            foreach (Video entry in feed.Entries)
            {
                printVideoEntry(entry);
            }
        }

// Put the video titles into the listbox
void printVideoEntry(Video video)
        {
            listBox_result.Items.Add(video.Title);
        }

But what i get is like 50 results, while when i search the same query on YT, i get 1000s of results. What's the wrong with my code?

Thanks for any help.

Can you give some detail on which API you're using?

Without knowing what library you're using, we really can't help but guess. If it's a client library, then post a link to its documentation. If it's your own library, then show the implementation.
Also be aware that Youtube's API limits the result per query to some number of videos. It also sends nextPageToken and prevPageToken. You need to take the nextPageToken and send it as part of your call to get the next set of the results.
Can you get all results with one query? No. Does this API suck? Yes.
Basically read this unless you're using a client library.

Thx for the replies.

I'm using these libs (the top 2 APIs in the page) : https://code.google.com/p/google-gdata/downloads/list

And i'm using this guide: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_dotnet#Searching_for_Videos

I used this code in above documentation, and modified it hoping to fit my need:

Code:

YouTubeQuery query =newYouTubeQuery(YouTubeQuery.DefaultVideoUri);

//order results by the number of views (most viewed first)
query.OrderBy="viewCount";

// search for puppies and include restricted content in the search results
// query.SafeSearch could also be set to YouTubeQuery.SafeSearchValues.Moderate
query.Query="puppy";
query.SafeSearch=YouTubeQuery.SafeSearchValues.None;

Feed<Video> videoFeed = request.Get<Video>(query);

printVideoFeed(videoFeed);

I suggest you use this guide: https://developers.google.com/api-cl...et/get_started
You can get the client library from nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=goo...rder=relevance
Here you can find samples: https://github.com/youtube/api-sampl.../master/dotnet
You should be using version 3.0 as 2.0 is deprecated (your link points to version 2.0).
