YouTube API: How to get videos from channel X with tag Y?

For example, how could I get a JSON response of all the videos from channel "http://www.youtube.com/nba" tha开发者_C百科t are tagged "playoffs"?

YouTube calls tags as categories.

The following URL shows videos from NBA channel with tags playoffs and sports (you can add more obviously) in JSON.

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/nba/uploads/-/sports/playoffs?v=2&alt=json

Try something like this:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/nba/uploads?q=playoffs

but this is xml format, look the api document and do it as json by yourself.

I think you're looking for the category-parameter. I ran a quick test to see how well it matches. Here's the result (yes, the page will load for a few seconds).

• This link will show you the results and how well they match 'playoffs' with the keywords, when using category.

• This link will show you the results when using the q-parameter.

So, I guess the link you're looking for is:
