How to get YouTube Videos Description and Comments with Youtube Api in php

Question

I am working on a YouTube project, in which i am getting data from YouTube by RSS, I am getting title only with RSS, now I want to get description and comments of that specific video. I have tried many methods but none of them is working for me, except one but that is not giving me description and comments it’s just returning me name, height width, video url, author etc Codes that I tried are given bellow This code is working but not returning what I need

$youtube = "http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=". $src_url_r ."&format=json";
$curl = curl_init($youtube);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$return = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$tst = json_decode($return, true);

Other code that i tried and not working are

$id = substr(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'rss_pi_source_url', TRUE), strrpos(get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'rss_pi_source_url', TRUE), '=') + 1);

        //echo "https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/".$id."?v=2&alt=json";
        $json_output = file_get_contents("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/".$src_url."?v=2&alt=json");
        $json = json_decode($json_output, true);

        //This gives you the video description
        $video_description = $json['entry']['media$group']['media$description']['$t'];

        //This gives you the video views count
        $view_count = $json['entry']['yt$statistics']['viewCount'];

        //This gives you the video title
        $video_title = $json['entry']['title']['$t'];

this is an other piecec of code that is not working

$json_output = file_get_contents("https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=0KNk-Joi-NM&key=my_api_key");
            $json = json_decode($json_output, true);
            print_r($json);

Please any one guide me

Answer 1

First just put your

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=0KNk-Joi-NM&key=my_api_key

in your browser and see if you get the correct response. If you don't see the following with your key, check your key's credentials. Works fine here with my key.
