How to get video RTSP link with Youtube API V3?

I used to get it normally with V2 but what's the alternative in API V3 ? if not available, is there any hack to do it ? eg. guess the URL ?

Note : V2 is Deprecated now, so i can't depend on it .

Yes, this is another of the great advantages of v3 API. Other benefits from this API:

  • No more multiple screenshots to choose from
  • No more video duration; must be requested in second query
  • Video duration encrypted in ISO 8601 format to ensure you can't can convert it to seconds

The lack of RTSP value is just another one. I bet that in API v4 they'll probably hide the video title as well, to ensure the API is entirely useless.

API v3 doesn't return RTSP, your best bet is to implement iFrame player and it will stream the appropriate format for you.
