How to query / retrieve keywords using YouTube Data API (v3)

I'm currently in the process of migrating from an obsolete youtube gdata API to V3. One of the things I'm looking for is :

  1. Search videos using a filter

    I used to run something like this

    https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/lyndapodcast/uploads?v=2&max-results=50&start-index=1&query=sample_keyword

Will this V3 request will be equivalent using "q" parameter ?

 https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=sample_keyword&channelId=UCUtTNe0bVxvk8exLBKkvCNg&maxResults=50&key={my_key}&maxResults=2
  1. Is there a way to retrieve "keywords" as part of the result ? gdata API didn't allow it earlier, only way was to scrape the html page and look for keywords metadata.

Any pointers will be appreciated.

-Thanks,

Shamik

I'm using https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core to get keywords for youtube videos.

  1. Yes, except for the different maxResults value you're using.

  2. You can get tags only if you own the videos. Otherwise scrape the keywords metadata.
