[YouTube-API] Re: Retrieving Playlist ID given a Playlist Feed

Hello Denzil,

So you're requesting a YouTube API v2 response, but the Python client
library only supports v1. That might make deserialization a little
tricky.

In any case, this seems to work—you need to parse the playlist URL to
get back only the id portion, but the format of that URL is not going
to change and it's safe enough to do:

playlist_feed =
yt_service.GetYouTubePlaylistFeed(username='basit9008')
for playlist_entry in playlist_feed.entry:
print playlist_entry.id.text.split('/')[-1]

Cheers,
