YouTube operational API

YouTube operational API works when YouTube Data API v3 fails.

Install your own instance of the API:

  1. If you do not own a server, then I recommend Oracle always free VPS (see https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm). Note that at account creation only some home regions, including Marseille (France), propose more powerful Ampere A1 shapes.

  2. If not already hosting a website (click here if you prefer nginx), run in a terminal:

On Linux (Debian, Mint and Ubuntu):

sudo apt install apache2 php git
sudo a2enmod rewrite headers

Replace AllowOverride None with AllowOverride All in <Directory /var/www/> in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

Then run:

sudo service apache2 restart

On Windows:

Download and run WampServer 3.

On MacOS:

Install brew by following https://brew.sh#install.

On MacOS (Intel) use /usr/local/ instead of /opt/homebrew/.

brew install apache2 php

echo 'LoadModule php_module /opt/homebrew/opt/php/lib/httpd/modules/libphp.so
Include /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-php.conf' >> /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

echo '<IfModule php_module>
  <FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
  </FilesMatch>

  <IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
  </IfModule>
</IfModule>' >> /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/extra/httpd-php.conf

sed -i '' 's/#LoadModule rewrite_module/LoadModule rewrite_module/' /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Replace AllowOverride None with AllowOverride All in <Directory "/opt/homebrew/var/www"> in /opt/homebrew/etc/httpd/httpd.conf.

Then run:

brew services start httpd
  1. Now that you are hosting a website, get the current working directory of your terminal into the folder that is online.
  • On Linux, use cd /var/www/html/
  • On Windows, use cd C:\wamp64\www\
  • On MacOS, use cd /opt/homebrew/var/www/
  1. Clone this repository by using:
git clone https://github.com/Benjamin-Loison/YouTube-operational-API
  1. Install Protobuf dependency:

On Linux (Ubuntu, Debian and Mint):

sudo apt install composer protobuf-compiler

On Windows:

Download composer.

Download protoc.

On MacOS:

brew install composer protobuf

In YouTube-operational-API/ clone folder:

composer require google/protobuf

Generate code of PHP objects from .proto prototypes:

On Linux and MacOS:

protoc --php_out=proto/php/ --proto_path=proto/prototypes/ $(find proto/prototypes/ -type f)

On Windows:

for /f "usebackq tokens=*" %a in (`dir /S /B "proto/prototypes"`) do protoc --php_out=proto/php/ --proto_path=proto/prototypes/ %a
  1. Verify that your API instance is reachable by trying to access:

If you want me to advertise your instance (if you have opened your port, and have a fixed IP address or a domain name), please use below contacts.

Run the API with Docker

  1. Install Docker and make sure that its daemon is running.

  2. Create a .env file and update it with your preferred port:

cp .env.sample .env
  1. Start the container with docker-compose:
# start in the foreground
docker-compose up
# start in the background
docker-compose up -d
  1. Verify that your API instance is reachable by trying to access:
