The following code samples, which use the Google APIs Client Library for Java, are available for the YouTube Data API. You can download these code samples from the java folder of the YouTube APIs code sample repository on GitHub.
- Post a channel bulletin (
activities.insert) - Add a featured video (
channels.update) - Retrieve my uploads (
playlistItems.list) - Create a playlist (
playlists.insert) - Search by keyword (
search.list) - Search by topic (
search.list) - Add a channel subscription (
subscriptions.insert) - Upload a video thumbnail image (
thumbnails.set) - Upload a video (
videos.insert) - Update a video (
videos.update)
Post a channel bulletin
The code samples below are for an application that calls the API's activities.insert method to post a bulletin to the channel associated with the request.

Search by topic
The code samples below are for an application that uses both the Freebase API and the YouTube Data API to retrieve search results. The code first uses the Freebase API to retrieve a list of topics that match a query entered by the user. The user can then select a topic, and the code calls the API's search.list method to retrieve YouTube videos associated with that topic.
