Hey,
I want to to get a youtube video in my app.
The problem is that i want to search youtube first then get a video result in my app.
I think that can be done with a web api, also i do not have any idea.
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this ?
Please Reply,

I’m not sure if this can be done - have you taken a look at the YouTube API yet @tobi?

Have you completed the API tutorial series on YouTube?

Hey @tobi,
I just finished up a YouTube API series that has exactly what you are looking for.
You can watch it [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9o6XuqjVCU&list=PLArgGKS_QtY4XhcChF3i4CTqobLsTeYvA&index=1), and here are the API docs I used:
- How to Create A YouTube API Key: [YouTube Data API の概要 | Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started)
- YouTube Search API: [Search: list | YouTube Data API | Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list)
- YouTube Data API: [Videos: list | YouTube Data API | Google for Developers](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list)

Hey @darren I’m pretty new to thunkable and just finished watching your API series.
Is it possible to search youTube for a single video so that you can retrieve its associated properties, descriptions, thumbnails etc. Without digging into the API from the channel starting point?
e.g. Searching for a specific video rather than a general or channel level??
Cheers!
