How can I get YouTube video's file name?

[Yoshimasa Tanabe]

Hi,

 

Is there any way to get YouTube video's original file name(like foo.mp4) the user uploaded?

I referred the API doc[1] and found the following fields look like related.

* sourceUrl: The URL of where the original media was downloaded from (or a file name).

* name: The name of the media. The name can be used by clients to help identify previously uploaded media.

But I get the Video object has the empty sourceUrl and the name is Video(YouTube) title, not the file name.

{
  name=<This is Video title, not the file name>,
  sourceUrl=, // empty
  // other fields
  ...
}

Am I missing something?

...

Code snippet is here(Scala).

* "com.google.api-ads" % "ads-lib"      % 4.1.0

* "com.google.api-ads" % "adwords-axis" % 4.1.0

import com.google.api.ads.adwords.axis.factory.AdWordsServices
import com.google.api.ads.adwords.axis.utils.v201806.SelectorBuilder
import com.google.api.ads.adwords.axis.v201806.cm.MediaServiceInterface
import com.google.api.ads.adwords.lib.client.AdWordsSession
import com.google.api.ads.adwords.lib.selectorfields.v201806.cm.MediaField


val mediaServiceSelector = new SelectorBuilder()
  .fields(
    MediaField.MediaId,
    MediaField.YouTubeVideoIdString,
    MediaField.Name,
    MediaField.SourceUrl,
    MediaField.StreamingUrl
  )
  .in(MediaField.Type, "VIDEO")
  .build()


val session = new AdWordsSession.Builder()
  .withOAuth2Credential(<credential>)
  .withDeveloperToken(<developerToken>)
  .withClientCustomerId(<target_client_customer_id>)
  .build()


AdWordsServices.getInstance()
  .get(session, classOf[MediaServiceInterface])
  .get(mediaServiceSelector)

Hello Yoshimasa,

It turns out that the sourceUrl will be populated for other cases like AUDIO and IMAGE, but not for VIDEO.

Hi Thanet,

I appreciate you checking! 

So, is it not possible to get Videos' file name within AdWords API? 

If so, please let me know other solutions.

Hello Yoshimasa,

You're correct. It's not supported in the AdWords API, and unfortunately probably there are no workarounds for this.

Cheers,

Thanks!

Let me confirm one thing just to make sure.

It looks like you can get video's file name via YouTube Data API(fileDetails.fileName property). 

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos#header_2

Is there any integration between AdWords API and YouTube Data API(e.g. adding YouTube Data API scope in OAuth2 flow)?

Hi,

No, there are no integration between the two APIs.
