hi I'm still new in this Arduino world, I used to work with this project, and works fine. no problem at all.

It's been quite a long time I don't get this project again until today I got this project and I tried to compile it and comes up with this error. I haven't change the code and it works fine before .. just replace the wifi id * pass and channel id.

below is the error message from the Arduino console:

Error compiling for board LOLIN(WEMOS) D1 R2 & mini.

================================

I hope some can help me how to resolve this error.

Thanks in Advance

I'm using :
Wemos D1 mini
Arduino 1.8.13
YoutubeAPI : V2
ArduinoJson : 6.18.0

Would it be possible to add a the option to get the list of subscribers? The YouTube API seems to support the function.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/subscriptions/list

Little change was necessary in the example file:

WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {

Hello,
I am using the Arduino Youtube API for about 3 weeks. It worked flawlessly.

However, this morning, the response for the HTTP request is HTTP 0.

I have verified and the ESP8266 is connecting to the local network (it has an IP).

I have verified and I can perform a HTTP request with the browser with my channel id and API key without a problem.

Is there something I can do?

Hi,
I'm trying with wemos d1 r1, I've api_key that works with link that written in ReadMe, also board connects wifi and able to ping google.
But nothing more, no return as json to the board.
Note: Already downgraded ArduinoJson to 5.x and also tried to downgrade esp8266 lib to 2.5.0 but with no result.
Note2: client.setInsecure(); line added to setup() place too and again with no result.

I don't quite know why but for some reason although I have allocated more than enough space for the
Youtube API request i cannot seem to parse the JSON as the String just ends towards the end most likely
due to insufficent space I cannot seem to allocate more memory.

I'm using the snippet data from a channel. Is anyone else having this problem?

I wanted to try the code example to make sure everything worked, but it returns and HTTP status 0, so I added the ESP32Ping library to ping googleapis.com to see if at least it could be reached, and it apparently does, that's the only modification made to the example code (aside from the necessary ones)

Here's the serial monitor readings:

I also tried with your channel ID (as provided on the readme file), the issue stays here.

for more details:

• YoutubeApi version: 2.0.0
• ArduinoJson version: 6.18.5
• card used

Hello, first of all, my English is very bad, I apologize for this from the beginning.

I've been experimenting for 2-3 days, but I couldn't find a way, I'm new in this business.

all versions are in the same version.

What exactly do I need to change?

I'm not good at coding, I would appreciate it if you could help.

I'm not sure if I am the only one having this.

I'm using the ESP8266 -> ChannelStatistics code example. Followed all the instructions.

Connecting Wifi:
15:49:46.362 -> ..........
15:49:52.115 -> WiFi connected
15:49:52.115 -> IP address:
15:49:52.115 ->

Shows up fine, but my channel's stats does not show up, no matter how long I wait.

):

is the subscriber in form of a string , char or integer so i can use basic statement such as
if(api.channelStats.subscriberCount = '2' ){
digitalWrite(2,HIGH);}
else{
digitalWrite(2,LOW);
}

Hi all,

I have an issue with my Data Youtube API.

When I use the Channel Statistics with my personal information, I got en HTML code status 403 and when I try it on my web browser it shows that I have reach my maximum quota, but I did not. I've made 1506 requests and my max by day is 10 000.
Does someone knows what is happening please ?

Thanks in advance

Latest ESP32 requires some form of verification of the server you are connecting to, or a client.setInsecure(). There is probably no reason to not use the cert for the ESP32 though.

Examples probably need to be updated to reflect this..

Hi there,

Either I'm having problems with the wrapper or im dumber than a box of rocks, I'll try to cut to the chase as quickly as possible.

I built a subscriber counter using https://www.instructables.com/id/YouTube-Subscriber-Counter-With-ESP8266-V2/ about a year and half ago and its been working fine until this week.

After seeing everything going on and with other peoples stopped working, saw the wrapper had been updated and updated the wrapper and json to 6.15.2 and now i just get

Connection failed
Unexpected HTTP Status Code: 0

In the serial monitor and I've tested with the example code too with the same result.

Any help here would be appreciated

This is a really helpful repository but also as a budding Youtuber I would love to see my watch hours too... So can you add that in statistics as well?

Hi,
After 1000 subscriber it has stopped to count. other things are working. please find the serial port screen output
---------Stats---------
Subscriber Count: 1000 - till 1000 it worked
View Count: 213410 - this is correct and live

Hey,
I know its been a long time since the last post, but i have a problem.
So i have this code (see attachment) and i noticed problems when using static ip adresses (in the code config and on the router side.
Help is much appreciated.
i get no error messages but "api.getChannelStatistics(CHANNEL_ID)" returns always false.

API token and url works fine
ex.zip

(Sorry for my bad english)

My counter (Nodemcu esp8266) was working for years. Suddenly it stopped working.
I saw the closed issues about this.

I updated to your newest version and also ArduinoJson. I use ESP 8266 version 2.4.2.

But now I get:
/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id= removed
Connection failed
Unexpected HTTP Status Code: 0
/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id= removed
Tossing an unexpected character: 1
Tossing an unexpected character: d

Tossing an unexpected character: 1

and so on.
I also get this with the example included.

What can be the problem?

Hi
I have a project using the Wemos R1 chip.
In serial monitor I only get the response that the chip is connected. Wifi connected and an local ip address (like 192.34........)

And no matter how long I wait, the youtube channel stats does not show up.
The API key is correct (checked and working ok on googleapi link)
The router i'm connecting thru is connected to the internet.
Have you heard about this problem and do you have a fix for me?

Thanks

Arduino JSON filter allows you to only parse what you want from the response, it some cases it reduces the memory required by quite a lot.

I am also trying to implement a YouTube subscriber counter. As basis, I used an existing project (not mine) which seemed to work just fine. But my subscriber numbers just always kept being 0. I debugged as far as possible and it seems, that the connection to www.googleapis.com:443 are just not working. If I open the same URL as generated in this library for example in my browser, I get the numbers as expected.
The only thing I am seeing is:

Connecting to: 172.217.168.74 - 443      << my debug output
pm open,type:2 0

Since it never reaches .... connected to server, the problem has to be with the line:
if (client->connect(YTAPI_HOST, YTAPI_SSL_PORT)) {
I have no idea how to debug this further. Is it possible that google changed something (SSL Cert or such) ?
Any other pointers or ideas?

The other project basically uses the example code from this library here. Since the NTP time-fetch works, the Network connectivity of the Weemos D1 Mini is not the problem. Also replacing the URL with the IP has the same result.

I'm getting this error when trying to get the datas for my channel :

Connection failed
Unexpected HTTP Status Code: 0

My API credentials are ok, I tested https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=statistics&id=xxx&key=yyy in a browser and I get the expected json

Is there a possibility to implement a function to get likes and dislikes count of a live YouTube video?

As mentioned in #34, need to investigate

Hi Brian, would you consider changing the license for this library? At the moment it's licensed under GPL v2.0, which I believe means projects that use the library cannot be distributed unless they are open source and also licensed under GPL v2.0.

I would recommend switching to the much more permissive MIT license, or if you'd prefer to keep the copyleft provisions then I would recommend the Lesser General Public License (LGPL). There should be no issue changing the license to either of those two, as both are more permissive than the current license.

Hi,
Not sure if this is just me seeing this but I could not get the getChannelStatistics to give back results and after digging ended finding out that for some reason the response string being return had some chars (1f3) right at the beginning and that seemed to mess with the parser.
doing this:
String response = sendGetToYoutube(command); //recieve reply from youtube
response.remove(0,3);

seemed to solve the issue.
