I am attempting to extract some data from all videos on a youtube channel (2055 videos). I have stored each video ID in video_ids[] and am sending a request for data regarding all 2055 in the following code:
all_video_data = []
request = youtube.videos().list(
part="snippet,contentDetails,statistics",
id=video_ids
)
response = request.execute()
for video in response['items']:
data_keep = {'snippet': ['channelTitle', 'title', 'publishedAt'],
'statistics': ['viewCount', 'likeCount', 'commentCount'],
'contentDetails': ['duration']
}
video_data = {}
video_data['video_id'] = video['id']
for k in data_keep.keys():
for v in data_keep[k]:
video_data[v] = video[k][v]
all_video_data.append(video_data)
ERROR:
HttpError Traceback (most recent call last)

I’m aware that the error is in my request, not sure how to fix.
tried moving around variables/names, tried doing a separate request for each video (awful), tried banging my head against a wall.
