How to read youtube data api v3 response in php

Question

I have following code:

$yt_profiles = $youtube->channels->listChannels('brandingSettings', array(
'mine' => 'true',
));

That returns the following output:

I want to loop through modelData:protected variable to get the list of channels and its items data. Its json object so $yt_profiles->modelData:protected not working while accessing. Please help me to solve this issue. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Does this help you?

    $yt_profiles = $youtube->channels->listChannels('id, brandingSettings', array('mine' => 'true',));

    foreach ($yt_profiles['modelData']['items'] as $searchResult) {
      switch ($searchResult['kind']) {
        case 'youtube#channel':
          $channels[]= array('id'=> $searchResult['id'],
                             'brandingSettings'=> $searchResult['brandingSettings']);
          break;
      }
    }

Answer 2

Your request:

$yt_profiles = $youtube->channels->listChannels('brandingSettings', array(
'mine' => 'true',
));

To acces to values Channel title for example:

$titleChannel = $yt_profiles["items"][0]["brandingSettings"]["channel"]["title"];

To acces to values bannerImageUrl for example:

$banner = $yt_profiles["items"][0]["brandingSettings"]["image"]["bannerImageUrl"];

Answer 3

You can reach it as in an array:

print_r ($yt_profiles['modelData']);
