Goto latest youtube video

My goal is to automate creating a Wordpress post using extracted information about the latest video I posted on Youtube. I have the process I want to use almost down, I just can’t figure out how to initiate it by going to the latest video posted. I tried the youtube integration, but it did not have this specific option. Does anyone know of a way to goto a specific youtube channel and goto the latest video?

Hey! @netx9nine
I have a solution to your problem.
If you want to extract latest video from a Youtube channel you can just simply do this using “SerpAPI”
endpoints for youtube data extraction.

For this you have to create account at SerpApi (“https://serpapi.com/”) here. After creating account you need to get the api key. To get your API key just simply signup → Your Account → API key.
Then copy your API Key & follow these steps:

  1. Use HTTP Module using GET method by putting URL endpoint which you’ll get from SerpAPI.

  1. Map the data in query string & in one item map the value of that item to a channel name which you to search. i.e type the channel name to get that channel latest videos & in one item map the API key that you get from your account as value for that item shown in the screenshot below.
    !

3.So in the output you’ll get the channel results i.e Description of video,title of video, link for the video and all the other necessary details related to the channel uploads.

FYI - If anyone wants to search for a specific playlist, query the last part of the playlist URL
