How to get current user's profile information

问题:

In V2 you could hit the /api/users/default path to get infomation such as the user's username. This is documented here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_profiles

In our migration to V3 I also need to be able to pull the users username, but can't find any documentation showing how to do so. Is this functionality replicated in V3, or is there another way to accomplish this task?

Thanks!

回答1:

In v3, user info is basically channel info. By doing a channels->list "https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels/list", you will get the information under 'snippet.channelId' "https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/channels#snippet.channelId"

Youtube API v3 does not support user information any more. Use userinfo API.

set scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile (a space between scopes)

and get: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?access_token={access_token}
