You have to check the YouTube Music Global Charts channel on YouTube - i.e: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrKZcyOJVWnJ60zM1XWllNw - and check all of its playlists - there are playlist for each country, like:

  • Top 100 Music Videos El Salvador
  • Top 100 Songs Nicaragua
  • Top 100 Music Videos Israel
  • Top 100 Songs Hungary
  • and so on...

Then, once you identify which are the playlists you need, copy their playlist_id and use them for make calls using the playlistitems endpoint.

No, it's not possible to get the artist list via youtube data api. Because the acceptable "type" values for search.list() does not have artist resource:

Doc say:

Acceptable values are: channel, playlist, video

The only way I can think of is to scrap the data of that web page https://artists.youtube.com/charts/artists

I'm not sure about this but give it a try, use Search:list which returns a collection of search results that match the query parameters specified in the API request. By default, a search result set identifies matching video, channel, and playlist resources, but you can also configure queries to only retrieve a specific type of resource. Include regionCode and type paramenter.

The regionCode parameter instructs the API to return search results for the specified country. The parameter value is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.

The type parameter restricts a search query to only retrieve a particular type of resource. The value is a comma-separated list of resource types. The default value is video,channel,playlist.

Note: A call to this method has a quota cost of 100 units.
