videoCategoryId

Assistant

The `videoCategoryId` parameter in the YouTube Data API v3 is used to filter videos by category. Each video on YouTube belongs to a category, and you can retrieve videos from a specific category using this parameter.

### **Usage**
– When fetching videos, you can pass `videoCategoryId` along with the `chart=mostPopular` parameter to get trending videos for a specific category.
– You can retrieve a list of all available categories using the `videoCategories` endpoint.

—

### **Example Request:**

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&chart=mostPopular&videoCategoryId=10&regionCode=US&key=YOUR_API_KEY

– This request fetches the most popular videos in category `10` (Music) in the US.

—

### **List of Video Category IDs (Common Categories)**
To get all available categories, use:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videoCategories?part=snippet&regionCode=US&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Here are some common category IDs:

| ID | Category Name |
|—-|————–|
| 1 | Film & Animation |
| 2 | Autos & Vehicles |
| 10 | Music |
| 15 | Pets & Animals |
| 17 | Sports |
| 18 | Short Movies |
| 19 | Travel & Events |
| 20 | Gaming |
| 22 | People & Blogs |
| 23 | Comedy |

How to get all VideoCateogries

Assistant

To get all **video categories** available in a specific country, you need to use the `videoCategories` endpoint in the YouTube Data API v3.

—

### **API Endpoint:**

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videoCategories

—

### **Example Request (Using cURL or Direct URL)**

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videoCategories?part=snippet&regionCode=US&key=YOUR_API_KEY

This fetches all video categories available in the **United States (US)**.

—

### **Example Response:**

{
  "kind": "youtube#videoCategoryListResponse",
  "etag": "xyz123",
  "items": [
    {
      "kind": "youtube#videoCategory",
      "etag": "xyz123",
      "id": "1",
      "snippet": {
        "title": "Film & Animation",
        "assignable": true
      }
    },
    {
      "kind": "youtube#videoCategory",
      "etag": "xyz456",
      "id": "10",
      "snippet": {
        "title": "Music",
        "assignable": true
      }
    }
  ]
}

Each item contains:
– **`id`**: The category ID (used in `videoCategoryId`).
– **`snippet.title`**: The category name.

—

### **Fetching Categories with JavaScript (Axios Example)**

const axios = require('axios');

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const REGION_CODE = 'US';

axios.get(`https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videoCategories`, {
    params: {
        part: 'snippet',
        regionCode: REGION_CODE,
        key: API_KEY
    }
})
.then(response => {
    console.log(response.data.items);
})
.catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
});

—

### **Fetching Categories with PHP (cURL Example)**

<?php
$apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
$regionCode = "US";
$url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videoCategories?part=snippet&regionCode=$regionCode&key=$apiKey";

$response = file_get_contents($url);
$data = json_decode($response, true);

foreach ($data['items'] as $category) {
    echo "ID: " . $category['id'] . " - " . $category['snippet']['title'] . "n";
}
?>

—

### **Key Notes:**
– The `regionCode` parameter ensures that the returned categories are available for that country.
– The `id` from the response can be used in `videoCategoryId` when fetching videos.

Would you like me to help with a specific implementation in Laravel, Vue, or any other framework? 🚀

multiple cateogry ids

Assistant

The YouTube Data API does **not** support multiple `videoCategoryId` values in a single request when querying the `videos` endpoint. However, you have two options to fetch videos from multiple categories:

—

## **Option 1: Make Multiple Requests (Recommended)**
Since `videoCategoryId` only accepts a **single** category ID per request, you need to make separate requests for each category and then merge the results in your application.

### **Example: Fetch Videos from Categories 10 (Music) & 20 (Gaming) Separately**

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&chart=mostPopular&videoCategoryId=10&regionCode=US&key=YOUR_API_KEY

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&chart=mostPopular&videoCategoryId=20&regionCode=US&key=YOUR_API_KEY

After fetching results, merge them in your code.

—

## **Option 2: Fetch All Trending Videos & Filter Locally**
If you want to retrieve trending videos from **multiple categories**, you can fetch all trending videos (`chart=mostPopular`) **without specifying `videoCategoryId`** and then filter them based on category IDs in your application.

### **Example Request: Fetch All Popular Videos**

GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&chart=mostPopular&regionCode=US&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Then, filter the results based on the `snippet.categoryId`.

—

## **Implementation Example in JavaScript (Axios)**

const axios = require('axios');

const API_KEY = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const REGION_CODE = 'US';
const CATEGORY_IDS = ['10', '20']; // Music & Gaming

async function fetchVideosByCategory(categoryId) {
    const url = `https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos`;
    const params = {
        part: 'snippet',
        chart: 'mostPopular',
        videoCategoryId: categoryId,
        regionCode: REGION_CODE,
        key: API_KEY
    };

    const response = await axios.get(url, { params });
    return response.data.items;
}

async function fetchMultipleCategories() {
    const videoPromises = CATEGORY_IDS.map(id => fetchVideosByCategory(id));
    const results = await Promise.all(videoPromises);
    const mergedVideos = results.flat(); // Merge results into one array
    console.log(mergedVideos);
}

fetchMultipleCategories();

– This script makes separate API calls for each category.
– It merges all results into a single list.

—

## **Implementation Example in PHP (cURL)**

<?php
$apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
$regionCode = "US";
$categoryIds = ["10", "20"]; // Music & Gaming
$videos = [];

foreach ($categoryIds as $categoryId) {
    $url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&chart=mostPopular&videoCategoryId=$categoryId&regionCode=$regionCode&key=$apiKey";
    $response = file_get_contents($url);
    $data = json_decode($response, true);
    
    if (isset($data['items'])) {
        $videos = array_merge($videos, $data['items']);
    }
}

print_r($videos); // Output all videos from selected categories
?>

– This loops through multiple category IDs, fetches videos, and merges the results.

—

### **Summary**
– **YouTube API does NOT allow multiple `videoCategoryId` values in one request.**
– **Solution:** Make multiple API calls and merge results.
– **Alternative:** Fetch all trending videos and filter locally.

Would you like me to refine this approach for Vue.js, Laravel, or another framework? 🚀

const toggleExpand = (postId) => {

};
</script>

now also adjust category

Assistant

You need to **watch for changes in both `countryCode` and `category`**, so when either of them changes, the `fetchVideos` function is triggered to update the video list accordingly.

### **Fix: Watch `category` Along with `countryCode`**
Modify your `watch` function to track changes in both `countryCode` and `category`.

### **Updated Code**

<script setup>
import { ref, watch } from 'vue';
import axios from "axios";
import IconLoading from './icons/IconLoading.vue';
import TwoColumn from '@/layouts/TwoColumn.vue';

const expandedPosts = ref({});

const sources = ref([ 
  { label: "India", value: "IN" },
  { label: "United States", value: "US" },
  { label: "United Kingdom", value: "GB" },
  { label: "France", value: "FR" }
]);

const videosCategories = ref([
  { label: "Sports", value: "17" },
  { label: "Travel & Events", value: "19" },
  { label: "Science & Technology", value: "28" },
  { label: "Music", value: "10" },
  { label: "Education", value: "27" },
]);

// Default selections
const countryCode = ref(sources.value[0].value);
const category = ref(videosCategories.value[0].value);
const videos = ref([]);
const loading = ref(false);
const error = ref(null);

const apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"; // Use a secure method to store your API key

// Fetch trending videos from YouTube
const fetchVideos = async () => {
  loading.value = true;
  error.value = null;

  try {
    const response = await axios.get("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos", {
      params: {
        part: "snippet,statistics",
        chart: "mostPopular",
        maxResults: 20,
        regionCode: countryCode.value,
        videoCategoryId: category.value,
        key: apiKey
      }
    });

    expandedPosts.value = {};
    videos.value = response.data.items;
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Error fetching videos:", err);
    error.value = "Failed to load videos.";
  } finally {
    loading.value = false;
  }
};

// Watch for both country and category changes
watch([countryCode, category], () => {
  fetchVideos();
}, { immediate: true });

const toggleExpand = (postId) => {
  expandedPosts.value[postId] = !expandedPosts.value[postId];
};

### **Key Changes & Fixes**
✅ **Now watching `category` and `countryCode` together** → When either changes, `fetchVideos` is called.
✅ **Fixed `v-for` scope in category selection** → Changed `category` variable inside `v-for` to `cat` to avoid conflicts.
✅ **`fetchVideos` is executed immediately on mount** using `{ immediate: true }`.

Now, whenever the user changes the country or category, the videos update dynamically. 🚀

now I want to run video category api first based on default country then based on first category show videos

Assistant

You'll need to first fetch the video categories dynamically based on the selected country, then use the first available category to fetch videos. Here's how you can modify your script:

### Steps:
1. **Fetch video categories** from YouTube API based on the selected country.
2. **Set the first category** from the API response.
3. **Fetch videos** based on the default country and first category.

### Updated Code:

<script setup>
import { ref, watch } from 'vue';
import axios from "axios";
import IconLoading from './icons/IconLoading.vue';
import TwoColumn from '@/layouts/TwoColumn.vue';

const expandedPosts = ref({});

  { label: "India", value: "IN" },
  { label: "United States", value: "US" },
  { label: "United Kingdom", value: "GB" },
  { label: "France", value: "FR" }
]);

const videosCategories = ref([]);
const countryCode = ref(sources.value[0].value); // Default country selection
const category = ref(null); // Will be set dynamically
const videos = ref([]);
const loading = ref(true);
const error = ref(null);

const apiKey = "YOUR_YOUTUBE_API_KEY"; // Replace with a secure method to store your key

// Fetch video categories from YouTube API
const fetchCategories = async () => {
  try {
    const response = await axios.get("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videoCategories", {
      params: {
        part: "snippet",
        regionCode: countryCode.value,
        key: apiKey
      }
    });

    if (response.data.items.length > 0) {
      videosCategories.value = response.data.items.map(cat => ({
        label: cat.snippet.title,
        value: cat.id
      }));

      // Set the first category dynamically
      category.value = videosCategories.value[0].value;

      // Fetch videos based on the first category
      fetchVideos();
    }
  } catch (err) {
    console.error("Error fetching categories:", err);
    error.value = "Failed to load categories.";
  }
};

// Fetch trending videos from YouTube
const fetchVideos = async () => {
  if (!category.value) return; // Ensure category is set before fetching

  loading.value = true;
  error.value = null;

  try {
    const response = await axios.get("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos", {
      params: {
        part: "snippet,statistics",

    error.value = "Failed to load videos.";
  } finally {
    loading.value = false;
  }
};

// Watch for country selection changes and update categories
watch(countryCode, () => {
  fetchCategories();

      </v-row>
    </template>
  </TwoColumn>
</template>

### Key Updates:
1. **Fetch categories dynamically** when the country changes.
2. **Set the first category as default** and fetch videos accordingly.
3. **Watch for category changes** and update videos when a new category is selected.

This will ensure:
– When the user selects a country, categories load dynamically.
– The first available category is selected automatically.
– Videos are fetched based on the selected category.

in youtube api params

Assistant

In the **YouTube Data API**, different parameters can be used based on the endpoint you are calling. Here are some common parameters for fetching videos, categories, and search results:

—

### **1. Fetch Trending Videos (`videos` endpoint)**
**URL:**
`https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos`

**Example Request:**

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet,statistics&chart=mostPopular&regionCode=US&videoCategoryId=10&maxResults=10&key=YOUR_API_KEY

Would you like me to integrate this into your Vue app logic? 🚀

chart different values

Assistant

In the **YouTube Data API**, the `chart` parameter in the `videos` endpoint is used to retrieve lists of videos based on different ranking criteria. However, YouTube only supports **one value** for `chart`, which is:

**Example Request Using `chart=mostPopular`**

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet,statistics&chart=mostPopular&regionCode=US&videoCategoryId=10&maxResults=10&key=YOUR_API_KEY

### **Alternative Sorting Without `chart`**
If you're looking for **different ways to sort videos**, you can use the `order` parameter in the `search` endpoint instead:

**Example Request Using `order=viewCount`**

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=technology&type=video&maxResults=10&order=viewCount&regionCode=IN&key=YOUR_API_KEY

### **Summary**
– The `chart` parameter only supports `mostPopular`.
– To sort videos in different ways, use the `order` parameter in the `search` endpoint.

Let me know if you need a Vue.js implementation with these filters! 🚀

User

const response = await axios.get("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos", {
params: {
part: "snippet,statistics",
order: "viewCount",
maxResults: 20,
regionCode: countryCode.value,
videoCategoryId: category.value,
key: apiKey
}
above not working

Assistant

Your current request is failing because the **`order` parameter is not valid** for the `/videos` endpoint. The `order` parameter is only available in the `/search` endpoint, **not** in the `/videos` endpoint.

### **Fix: Use `/search` Instead**
Since `chart=mostPopular` is the **only** valid sorting method for `/videos`, if you need to sort videos by `viewCount`, you **must** use the `/search` endpoint.

### **Updated Code (Fixing `order` Issue)**
Replace your API call with this:

const response = await axios.get("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search", {
  params: {
    part: "snippet",
    order: "viewCount", // Sort by most viewed videos
    maxResults: 20,
    regionCode: countryCode.value,
    videoCategoryId: category.value, // Doesn't work in search, use query instead
    type: "video", // Ensures only videos are fetched
    key: apiKey
  }
});

### **Important Notes:**
1. **`order=viewCount` only works with the `/search` endpoint.**
– The `/videos` endpoint does **not** support `order=viewCount`.
– `/videos` only allows `chart=mostPopular`.

2. **`videoCategoryId` is NOT supported in `/search`.**
– The `/search` endpoint does **not** have a `videoCategoryId` filter.
– Instead, you must use a keyword-based `q` (query) filter.

**Example Fix:** If you want videos from the "Technology" category, use:

q: "technology"

3. **YouTube recommends using `/videos` for trending videos** and `/search` for custom sorting.

write radio buttons in expansion

Assistant

You can place the radio buttons inside the “ by using the `v-slot:text` or by adding them as child components inside the panel. Here's how you can do it:

### **Updated Code:**

<v-expansion-panels>
  <v-expansion-panel>
    <v-expansion-panel-title>Country</v-expansion-panel-title>
    <v-expansion-panel-text>
      <v-radio-group v-model="countryCode">
        <v-radio
          v-for="source in sources"
          :key="source.value"
          :label="source.label"
          :value="source.value"
        ></v-radio>
      </v-radio-group>
    </v-expansion-panel-text>
  </v-expansion-panel>
</v-expansion-panels>

### **Explanation:**
– `v-expansion-panel-title` → Sets the title of the panel.
– `v-expansion-panel-text` → Contains the radio button group inside the expandable section.
– `v-radio-group` → Binds to `countryCode` and updates it when a user selects an option.

This will allow users to expand the panel, view, and select a country via radio buttons inside it. Let me know if you need modifications! 🚀

give gap diff expansion pannel

Assistant

You can add a gap between multiple “ components using `class="mb-4"` (margin-bottom) or by wrapping them inside a `v-container` with `v-row`.

### **Solution 1: Using `mb-4` for Margin**

<v-expansion-panels>
  <v-expansion-panel class="mb-4">
    <v-expansion-panel-title>Country</v-expansion-panel-title>
    <v-expansion-panel-text>
      <v-radio-group v-model="countryCode">
        <v-radio v-for="source in sources" :key="source.value" :label="source.label" :value="source.value"></v-radio>
      </v-radio-group>
    </v-expansion-panel-text>
  </v-expansion-panel>

  <v-expansion-panel>
    <v-expansion-panel-title>Category</v-expansion-panel-title>
    <v-expansion-panel-text>
      <v-radio-group v-model="category">
        <v-radio v-for="category in videosCategories" :key="category.value" :label="category.label" :value="category.value"></v-radio>
      </v-radio-group>
    </v-expansion-panel-text>
  </v-expansion-panel>
</v-expansion-panels>

✅ This adds a **margin-bottom (gap) between expansion panels**.

—

### **Solution 2: Using `v-container` and `v-row`**

<v-container>
  <v-row>
    <v-col cols="12">
      <v-expansion-panels>
        <v-expansion-panel>
          <v-expansion-panel-title>Country</v-expansion-panel-title>
          <v-expansion-panel-text>
            <v-radio-group v-model="countryCode">
              <v-radio v-for="source in sources" :key="source.value" :label="source.label" :value="source.value"></v-radio>
            </v-radio-group>
          </v-expansion-panel-text>
        </v-expansion-panel>
      </v-expansion-panels>
    </v-col>

    <v-col cols="12" class="mt-4"> <!-- Adds margin-top for spacing -->
      <v-expansion-panels>
        <v-expansion-panel>
          <v-expansion-panel-title>Category</v-expansion-panel-title>
          <v-expansion-panel-text>
            <v-radio-group v-model="category">
              <v-radio v-for="category in videosCategories" :key="category.value" :label="category.label" :value="category.value"></v-radio>
            </v-radio-group>
          </v-expansion-panel-text>
        </v-expansion-panel>
      </v-expansion-panels>
    </v-col>
  </v-row>
</v-container>

✅ This method adds more **flexible spacing control** using `v-col` and `class="mt-4"` for a larger gap.

stepper

Assistant

If you want to use a **Stepper** (`v-stepper`) in Vuetify with radio buttons inside, you can follow this approach. The stepper will guide the user through selecting a **Country** first and then a **Category**.

—

### **Stepper with Radio Buttons in Vuetify**

<template>
  <v-container>
    <v-stepper v-model="step">
      <!-- Step 1: Select Country -->
      <v-stepper-header>
        <v-stepper-item step="1" :complete="step > 1"> Select Country </v-stepper-item>
        <v-divider></v-divider>
        <v-stepper-item step="2" :complete="step > 2"> Select Category </v-stepper-item>
      </v-stepper-header>

      <v-stepper-window>
        <!-- Step 1 -->
        <v-stepper-window-item value="1">
          <v-card>
            <v-card-title>Select Country</v-card-title>
            <v-card-text>
              <v-radio-group v-model="countryCode">
                <v-radio v-for="source in sources" :key="source.value" :label="source.label" :value="source.value"></v-radio>
              </v-radio-group>
            </v-card-text>
            <v-card-actions>
              <v-btn color="primary" @click="step = 2">Next</v-btn>
            </v-card-actions>
          </v-card>
        </v-stepper-window-item>

        <!-- Step 2 -->
        <v-stepper-window-item value="2">
          <v-card>
            <v-card-title>Select Category</v-card-title>
            <v-card-text>
              <v-radio-group v-model="category">
                <v-radio v-for="category in videosCategories" :key="category.value" :label="category.label" :value="category.value"></v-radio>
              </v-radio-group>
            </v-card-text>
            <v-card-actions>
              <v-btn color="primary" @click="fetchVideos">Fetch Videos</v-btn>
              <v-btn variant="text" @click="step = 1">Back</v-btn>
            </v-card-actions>
          </v-card>
        </v-stepper-window-item>
      </v-stepper-window>
    </v-stepper>
  </v-container>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue';

const step = ref(1);
const sources = ref([
  { label: "India", value: "IN" },
  { label: "United States", value: "US" },
  { label: "United Kingdom", value: "GB" },
  { label: "France", value: "FR" }
]);

const videosCategories = ref([
  { label: "Sports", value: 17 },
  { label: "Travel & Events", value: 19 },
  { label: "Science & Technology", value: 28 },
  { label: "Music", value: 10 },
  { label: "Education", value: 27 },
]);

const countryCode = ref(sources.value[0].value);
const category = ref(videosCategories.value[0].value);

const fetchVideos = () => {
  console.log("Fetching videos for:", countryCode.value, category.value);
};
</script>

### **How This Works**
1. The stepper starts at **Step 1 (Select Country)**.
2. When the user selects a country and clicks **Next**, it moves to **Step 2 (Select Category)**.
3. After selecting a category, clicking **"Fetch Videos"** will trigger the `fetchVideos` function.
4. The **Back** button allows users to return to the previous step.

✅ This approach ensures a guided, user-friendly flow for selecting YouTube video filters. Let me know if you need further modifications! 🚀
