how to embed youtube channel video on website with php

after the youtube api v3 update I don't know how to repair the video section of my site. The section shows videos uploaded in my youtube channel UCBL3ecWukz_EX7FrDmtdgJQ

I already created OAuth: Client ID for web application ,Public API access: Key for server applications and Key for browser applications.

Now I'm trying to understand how to use them to retrieve a list of the videos uploaded on my channel.

I tried this code

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId=UCBL3ecWukz_EX7FrDmtdgJQ&maxResults=20&key=***************************************

now I don't know what to do with the output.. something like that

{
 "kind": "youtube#searchListResponse",
 "etag": "\"iDqJ1j7zKs4x3o3ZsFlBOwgWAHU/6M9Lo8BzT3ingng1jJF2bBh1CNs\"",

What a coincidence... I just needed this a few days ago :) Here's the code I used:

<?php
    $playlistID = ''; // The Playlist ID for your 'uploads'-playlist.
    $videofile = 'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&maxResults=10&playlistId=' . $playlistID;
    $json = file_get_contents($videofile);
    $json = preg_replace('/^\xEF\xBB\xBF/', '', $json);
    $array = json_decode($json, TRUE);

    foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
        if ($key == "items") {
            echo "<table class='vtable'>";
            for ($i = 0; $i < count($array["items"]); $i = $i + 1) {
                $id = $array["items"][$i]['snippet']['resourceId']['videoId'];
                $thumbnail = $array["items"][$i]['snippet']['thumbnails']['high']['url'];
                $title = $array["items"][$i]['snippet']['title'];
                $description = $array["items"][$i]['snippet']['description'];
                // do some stuff with the variables
            }
        }
    }
?>

1) Make a HTTP request from PHP to get the JSON data as a string. Do this using cURL, a library like Guzzle, or a built-in function like file_get_contents(). Reference: http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php

$youtube_api_string = file_get_contents("http://your_api_url");

2) Convert that string into a standard object using

$api_result = json_decode($youtube_api_string);

Reference: http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php

3) Write a loop to assemble your search results into usable YouTube URLs

$youtube_urls = []; 

for ($i = 0; $i < count($api_result->items); $i++) {
    $video = $api_result->items[$i];
    array_push($youtube_urls, ["url" => "http://youtube.com/watch?v=" . $video->id->videoId, "title" => $video->snippet->title ]);
}

From here, you should be able to loop through the $youtube_urls variable to generate the list of videos on your channel on your site.
