Hi there,  
I am a beginner of the Web API.I would have to start to learn and use Web API.

I have found some docs and I did this but what should I do next?

Here is the API URL what I’m using

> **[Subscriptions: list  |  YouTube Data API  |  Google...](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/subscriptions/list)**

Thanks.

It is necessary to replace the block in then do these sections

If \< status = 200  
do Label1.Text \< generate JSON from Object \< responce  
else Label1.Text \< error

What is displayed in Label1.Text?

Symbol \< is used in the blocks, so I suggest the \<-. Still need to come up with symbols for units. I’ve been using | (or without them would be clearer). I am waiting for suggestions.

If \<- | status | = 200  
do | Label1.Text | \<- | generate JSON from object | \<- | responce |  
else  
do \<- | Label1.Text | \<- | error |

To begin, make a browser request and receive data.

typical example

`https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=house&type=video&maxResults=10&regionCode=RU&key=YOUR API KEY`

Hi, @BlueWhaleYT ! 😄

* * *

To be honest,  
I can’t get for what purpose you want to use API 😅

Do you want to count your Subscribers? or else?

Please specify 🙂

# Thanks! 😊
