How To Use YouTube API – A Step-By-Step Guide To Integrate YouTube API And Full Documentation List

Let us understand how to use YouTube API – A Step-By-Step guide to Integrate YouTube API and full documentation list.

Overview of YouTube API

The YouTube API is an application program interface that enables you to curate a playlist, and embedded videos, and provides other YouTube features on your website. Thanks to the API organizations do not have to build new code from scratch and can offer advanced video-sharing services on their website or app.

Google YouTube API like other APIS (application program interface) simplifies programming by avoiding the tedious task of writing extensive lines of code every time the user wants to access data. Coders can use preset functions and protocols when selecting YouTube videos for their websites.

YouTube API scopes, types, and functionalities

Like any other API, the YouTube Video API has simplified coding by eliminating the need to write multiple lines of code each time the user needs to access data. Instead, they use predefined functions and protocols to curate YouTube videos on a website. YouTube API has a range of functionalities and features that make it useful for businesses and developers.

Compared to standalone YouTube embed codes, YouTube API allows you to access YouTube’s data in a more thorough and scalable manner. With the YouTube API, you may access complete playlists, user uploads, and even search results.

To allow viewers to upload videos, manage channel subscriptions directly from the website or app, and add YouTube functionality to your website.

The common functionalities of YouTube API services are listed below.

YouTube Resources	Example Http Request	Description
YouTube Search	Get/Search	Retrieves a range of search results based on queries
YouTube Playlist	DELETE/Playlist	Delete a playlist
YouTube Videos	POST/Videos	Uploads videos to YouTube from your website or app
YouTube comments	POST/comments/markAsSpam	You can flag one or more comments as spam.
YouTube Channels	GET/Channel	Retrieves a channel’s videos or playlists (or any other resource, such as comments)
YouTube Subscription	POST/subscription	Adds a subscriber to an authenticated user’s channel.
YouTube Members	GET/members	Retrieves a list of members for a channel that has given you authorization.
YouTube Caption	PUT/Captions	Updates a caption track (you can upload a new file or change it to a draft.
YouTube Channel Sections	POST/ channelSections	Add a section of featured videos, for example, to an authenticated user’s channel
YouTube Watermarks	Post/WaterMarks	Remove watermark image associated with a channel

How to use YouTube API – 7 step integration guide

In this section, we focus on how to use YouTube API integration. It is 7 steps simple API integration YouTube.

Step1: Log in to Google Developer Console

Create a Google account and use the credentials to log in to Google Developers Console.

Step2: Create a new project

When you first log in you will see an empty dashboard. On the upper right corner of your screen, click on Create Project. You will be directed to a screen where you can add a project name, and select organization and URL from the dropdown box. After you create the project, everything you do moving forward including the API Key will be exclusively for the project. If you are working on multiple projects concurrently ensure the correct project is selected.

Step3: On a new project dashboard, explore and enable API

You will now be taken to a brand-new dashboard with different cards like Project name and resources. Find the Getting Started card and click on Explore and Enable APIs. Alternatively, you can navigate to the APIs and services > library.

Step4: In the library, navigate to YouTube Data API v3 under YouTube APIs

The YouTube API console is divided into sections – Navigate to the YouTube APIs and select YouTube Data API v3 or you can search for YouTube Data API in the search console.

Step5: Enable APIs

Once you arrive at the YouTube Data API page, click the Enable button.

Step6: Create a credential

After clicking the Enable button you will be able to view the overview page. Click Create Credentials in the top right-hand corner. In the Credentials window, select YouTube Data API v3 from the dropdown menu, WebServer (Tomcat, Node.js), and check the Public data in the third option.

Select “What credentials do I need?” You can now get the YouTube API key. Click Done

Step7: A screen with the API key will appear

Done! Congratulations you now have the API key. You need to save credentials.

YouTube API documentation references

The YouTube API is a powerful tool for developers to interact with the YouTube platform and get access to the wealth of information available on YouTube. The API allows developers to retrieve data, upload videos, manage playlists and much more.

You can access YouTube API documentation on the YouTube Developers website. Each API endpoint is described in depth in the documentation, along with the parameters that can be supplied and the format of the answer. YouTube offers sample code and client libraries many programming languages in addition to the API documentation, making it simple for developers to get started with the API right away.

For programmers wishing to use the YouTube API, the following resources may be helpful:

YouTubecalculator API documentation and is provided by YouTube. It is a comprehensive documentation covering everything from authentication to API endpoints and response formats. The documentation is easy to navigate.
YouTube API reference Guide provides an overview of the API’s functionality, including authentication, quota usage, error handling, and recommended API usage procedures.
YouTube Tools lets you test authorized and unauthorized requests. The Quota calculator show how usage impacts your quota usage.
YouTube Data forum is a community forum where developers can ask questions and get help from other developers who are using the YouTube API.

YouTube API examples

Developers may access and engage with YouTube’s enormous library of videos, channels, and playlists thanks to the YouTube API. The creation of unique applications, automated video uploads, and data collection for analysis are all possible with this potent tool. In this section, we focus on different YouTube API examples in different languages.

How to use YouTube API Python?

Prerequisites you need Python 2.7 or Python 3.5, pip package management tool, and Google API Client Library for Python. This simple guide explains how to use YouTube API Python,

Step1: Set up your project credentials

Start by setting up YouTube API and download your credentials.json in the current direct of your notebook/Python file.
Use the APIs Explorer widget in the side panel to obtain sample code for retrieving the information about GoogleDevelopers YouTube Channel. This call does not need user authorization or other specialized rights from the user running the sample; it simply utilizes an API key to identify your application. Click the code symbol for the first listing to open and populate the fullscreen APIs Explorer.

Step2: Set up and run the sample

You will be able to see the following information on the left side of the fullscreen API explorer.
List of parameters the method support below the request parameters header. The part and the id parameter values should be set. The part and id parameter value should be set. The parameter value, UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw, is the ID for the GoogleDevelopers YouTube channel.
You will be able to see credentials
Below the parameters, there is a section named Credentials. The pulldown menu in that section should display the value API key. The APIs Explorer uses demo credentials by default to make it easier to get started. But you’ll use your own API key to run the sample locally.
On the right side of the fullscreen API explorer you can see tabs with code samples in several languages. Select the Python tab.
Copy the code samples and save it in a file named example.py.
In the sample that you downloaded, find the YOUR_API_KEY string and replace it with API Key for your application.
Run the sample from the command line. In your working directory, run: python example.py
The sample should execute the request and print the response to STDOUT.

Step 3: Run authorized requests

You can now modify your code sample so that it collects information from your YouTube channel instead GoogleDevelopers YouTube channel. You need to authorize this request.

Go back to the documentation for the API’s channels.list method.
In the “Common use cases” section, click the code symbol for the third listing in the table. That use case is to call the list method for “my channel.”
On the left side of the fullscreen APIs Explorer look for the list of parameters followed by the Credentials section. However, there are two changes from the example where you retrieved information about the GoogleDevelopers channel:
In the parameters section, instead of the id parameter value being set, the mine parameter value should be set to true. This instructs the API server to retrieve information about the currently authenticated user’s channel.
In the Credentials section, the pulldown menu should select the option for Google OAuth 2.0.
In addition, if you click the Show scopes link, the scope should be checked.
Select the Python tab, copy the code sample, and save it to example.py. Look for the YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_FILE.json string and replace it with the location of the client secret file you downloaded in step1.
Run the sample from the command line. In your working directory, run: python example.py
Copy the URL from the console and open it in your browser.
In case you have not logged into your Google account, you will be prompted to log in. If you are logged into multiple Google accounts, you will be asked to select one account to use for the authorization.
Click the button to grant your application access to the scopes specified in your code sample.
Copy the auth code from the browser and paste it into your terminal. You can then close the browser tab used for the auth flow. The API response should again be printed to STDOUT.

How to use YouTube JavaScript API tutorial

If you want to explore YouTube JavaScript API and learn to use it, the best way would be via a project.

Step1: The first step is to go to the Google Cloud console and create your project.

We have already explained how you can generate the API key in the preceding section.

Step2: Set up and run the sample

To acquire examples of code to retrieve data from the GoogleDevelopers YouTube channel, use the APIs Explorer widget on the side panel. This call does not need user authorization or other specialized rights from the user running the sample; it simply utilizes an API key to identify your application.

Open the channels.list method’s documentation in the API. The “Common use cases” part of that page includes a table that lists various typical applications of the technology. Results by channel ID are listed in the table’s first row.
For the fullscreen APIs Ex, open it by clicking the code symbol for the first listing.
Open the channels.list method’s documentation in the API.
The “Common use cases” part of that page includes a table that lists various typical applications of the technology. Results by channel ID are listed in the table’s first row.
For the fullscreen APIs Examples, open it by clicking the code symbol for the first listing.
You can see the following information on the left-side of the fullscreen API explorer –
Request parameter header contains a list of parameters that the method supports. The values for the part and id parameters should be set. The ID for the GoogleDevelopers YouTube channel is given below: UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw, which is the value for the id parameter.
Credentials is a part that is located below the parameters. The value API key ought to appear in the pulldown option in that area. To make things simpler to use when getting started, the APIs Explorer utilizes demo credentials by default. But to run the sample locally, you’ll need your own API key.
On the right-side of the fullscreen API explorer shows tabs with code samples in the different languages you can select JavaScript from the list.
Copy the code sample and save it as example.html.
Look for YOUR_API_KEY string in the example and replace that with the API key that you created in step 1.
Start the web server using the following command from your working directory:
python -m http.server 8000
Open the example.html file in your browser and the browser’s developer tools, such as the “Developer Tools” in the Chrome browser.
Click the load button to load the Google APIs Client Library for JavaScript. After you click the button, the developer console shows a note indicating the GAPI client is loaded.
Click on the execute button to send API request. The developer’s console should then display the API response.

Step3: Run an authorized request

We will now modify your code sample so that it collects information from your YouTube Channel rather than GoogleDeveloper’s YouTube channel. User consent is required for the request.

Return to the channels.list method of the API’s documentation.
Click the code icon next to the third listing in the table under “Common use cases” in the section. To use case one, invoke the list method for “my channel.”
Click the code icon next to the third listing in the table under “Common use cases” in the section. To use case one, invoke the list method for “my channel.”
A list of parameters is displayed on the left side of the full-screen APIs Explorer, followed by an area for credentials. But there are two differences from the case where you got data via the GoogleDevelopers channel
The mine parameter value should be set to true in the parameters section rather than the id parameter value. This tells the API server to get data on the channel of the user who is presently logged in.
The pulldown menu in the Credentials area needs to be set to Google OAuth 2.0.

Additionally, you should check the scope if you click the Show scopes link

How to use YouTube API Node Js?

In this section, we focus on learning how to use YouTube API Node. You first need to create new project and get the API key for the project. You now need to generate a node application. Now create our package.json

npm init

Now install express. Express is the most popular and small framework for Node and it provides us with routes and a simple means of parsing query parameters.

npm install express

We create an express application to start it

const express = require(“express”);

const app = express();

app.get(“/”, (req, res) => {

res.send(“Hello World!”);

});

app.listen(port, () => {

console.log(`App listening at http://localhost:${port}`);

});

To start an application we write in the console the below

node server.js

Confirm the request is working in the browser. Our next step is to create a new URL where we can provide some search strings and get date from YouTube API.

app.get(“/search“, async (req, res, next) => {

const searchQuery = req.query.search_query;

res.send(searchQuery);

});

The search URL is working because URL is working because we used express to read query parameters. It is time to use API of YouTube. If you want to get the list of videos like in search of YouTube here is the request that we need for this.

As you can see our search URL is working and because we used express we get out of the box possibility to read query parameters.

Now it’s time to use API of youTube. As we want to get the list of videos like in search of YouTube here is the request that we need for this.

We can see v3 api here and we offer various stuff. The API key is critical or we will see a 403 error without it. The q parameter comes next. This is the search term we use when entering a YouTube search. In order to receive more fields in the response, such as the title, description, tags, and channel id, we additionally want to provide part=snippet. Since there are many more video types, including channels, playlists, and many more, we also wish to filter our data by video type.

npm install axios

use async await notation to make code easier to read and support

const axios = require(“axios“);

const apiKey = “AIzaSyDh4lSGdVGOnOg9oEvLTeLeCvl1eH5UMb0“;

const apiUrl = “https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3“;

app.get(“/search“, async (req, res, next) => {

try {

const searchQuery = req.query.search_query;

const url = `${apiUrl}/search?key=${apiKey}&type=video&part=snippet&q=${searchQuery}`;

const response = await axios.get(url);

const titles = response.data.items.map((item) => item.snippet.title);

res.send(titles);

} catch (err) {

next(err);

}

});

So here I stored API key and API URL in additional properties so we can reuse them in other requests later. we also prepare the correct URL with params and call axios.get with await. Inside response we loop through all items to get titles of each element.

We also wrapped our code in try catch block so we can react on errors. The easiest way to handle errors is just to propagate it to Express framework by using next. As you can see in browser our code is working and we get our list of video titles in API.

How to use c# YouTube API?

Using C# YouTube API is quite intuitive.

Step1: Create a Google API Console Project

Go to the Google cloud console to create a project using the steps outlined in the previous section. You will get an API on the successful creation of the project.

Step2: Create a new C# console application in Visual Studio You can create a new C# console application in Visual Studio by selecting “File” -> “New” -> “Project” and then selecting “Console App (.NET Framework)” under the C# section.

Step3: Install the Google API client library for .net

To access the YouTube API for C# application, you need install Google API client library for .NET.

Go to the Package Manage Console and enter the following command

Install–Package Google.Apis.YouTube.v3

Step4 : Include namesspace in the class file

using Google.Apis.Services;

using Google.Apis.YouTube.v3;

Step5: Add following methods to your class file

Find the Given method and replace it your API key.

private async Task GetYouTubeVideos() {

var youtubeService = new YouTubeService(new BaseClientService.Initializer() {

ApiKey = “REPLACE_ME”,

ApplicationName = this.GetType().ToString()

});

var searchListRequest = youtubeService.Search.List(“snippet”);

searchListRequest.Q = “My Videos”; // Replace with your search term.

searchListRequest.MaxResults = 50;

// Call the search.list method to retrieve results matching the specified query term.

var searchListResponse = await searchListRequest.ExecuteAsync();

List < string > videos = new List < string > ();

List < string > channels = new List < string > ();

List < string > playlists = new List < string > ();

// Add each result to the appropriate list, and then display the lists of

// matching videos, channels, and playlists.

foreach(var searchResult in searchListResponse.Items) {

switch (searchResult.Id.Kind) {

case “youtube#video”:

videos.Add(string.Format(“{0} ({1})”, searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.VideoId));

break;

case “youtube#channel”:

channels.Add(string.Format(“{0} ({1})”, searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.ChannelId));

break;

case “youtube#playlist”:

playlists.Add(string.Format(“{0} ({1})”, searchResult.Snippet.Title, searchResult.Id.PlaylistId));

break;

}

Console.WriteLine(string.Format(“Videos:\n{0}\n”, string.Join(“\n”, videos)));

Console.WriteLine(string.Format(“Channels:\n{0}\n”, string.Join(“\n”, channels)));

Console.WriteLine(string.Format(“Playlists:\n{0}\n”, string.Join(“\n”, playlists)));

}

The above posted above calls API’s search.list method to obtain search results linked to a specific keyword.

Step6: Use the following method in your class

static void Main(string[] args)

{

new Program().GetYouTubeVideos().GetAwaiter().GetResult();

Console.ReadLine();

}

You can view the basic video details in the console. You can refer to the API documents to get more functionality.

How to use YouTube API php curl?

There are a few steps you must take in order to access the YouTube API with PHP and cURL:

Activate the YouTube API key and create a Google Cloud Platform project: In the Google Cloud Console, you must create a project and enable the YouTube Data API if you haven’t previously. The documentation for Google Developers contains more details on how to do this.

To access the YouTube API, you must first obtain API credentials, which consist of a client ID and client secret. The steps in the manual for Google Developers can be used to do this.

Install and enable cURL in your PHP environment: This is a prerequisite. Run this command to see if cURL has been set up.

php -m | grep curl

If cURL isn’t already installed, you can either get it from the cURL website or install it using your package management (such as apt-get, yum, etc.).

Log in using the YouTube API: You’ll need to use the client ID and client secret you previously got to obtain an access token in order to authenticate with the YouTube API. Here’s an illustration of how to authenticate in PHP using cURL:

$client_id = ‘YOUR_CLIENT_ID’;

$client_secret = ‘YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET’;

// Set up cURL

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, ‘https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token’);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(

‘grant_type’ => ‘client_credentials’,

‘client_id’ => $client_id,

‘client_secret’ => $client_secret,

‘scope’ => ‘https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl’

));

// Send the request

$response = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

// Decode the response

$json = json_decode($response, true);

// Get the access token

$access_token = $json[‘access_token’];

You can use an access token to send requests to the YouTube API once you have one. Here’s a perfect example of how to search for videos using cURL:

$search_term = ‘SEARCH_TERM’;

// Set up cURL

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, ‘https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&q=’ . urlencode($search_term));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(

‘Authorization: Bearer ‘ . $access_token,

‘Accept: application/json’

));

// Send the request

$response = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

// Decode the response

$json = json_decode($response, true);

// Loop through the results

foreach ($json[‘items’] as $item) {

// Do something with the search results

}

How to use Google YouTube Android API?

Prerequisite to use Google YouTube Android API are Android Studio SDK 1.2 or later, Android SDK packages, access to internet on your test device, and Google account.

Step1: Acquire a SHAI fingerprint

Run the Keytool utility command shown below in a terminal to obtain the SHA1 fingerprint you will need to enable the API.

keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -list -v

Enter “android” when promoted for a keystore password. The keystore prints prints fingerprint in the shell.

$ keytool -exportcert -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore -list -v

Enter keystore password: Type “android” if using debug.keystore

Alias name: androiddebugkey

Creation date: Dec 4, 2014

Entry type: PrivateKeyEntry

Certificate chain length: 1

Certificate[1]:

Owner: CN=Android Debug, O=Android, C=US

Issuer: CN=Android Debug, O=Android, C=US

Serial number: 503bd581

Valid from: Mon Aug 27 13:16:01 PDT 2012 until: Wed Aug 20 13:16:01 PDT 2042

Certificate fingerprints:

Signature algorithm name: SHA1withRSA

Version: 3

Copy the SHAI fingerprint highlighted in the example above.

Step2: Turn on the YouTube Data API

To automatically enable the API, use this wizard to create or choose a project in the Google Developers Console. Continue by clicking, then select Credentials.
Click the Cancel option located on the Create Credentials page.
Choose the OAuth consent screen tab from the menu at the top of the page. Once you’ve chosen an email address and, if necessary, a product name, click the Save button.
Click the Create credentials button while selecting OAuth client ID on the Credentials tab.
Choose the Android application category.
In the Signing-certificate fingerprint field, paste the SHA1 fingerprint from Step1
Enter com.example in the field marked “Package name”.quickstart.
Select “Create” from the menu.

Step3: Create an Android Project

Open Android Studio and start a new Android Studio Project.
In the New Project screen and name the application “QuickStart”
Specify “example.com” as the Company Domain, and make sure the package name that is generated automatically corresponds to the one you supplied in the Developer Console in Step2. Choose Next.
Check the Phone and Tablet checkbox and select “API 14: Android 4.0 (IceCreamSandwich)” as the Minimum SDK on the Target Android Devices screen. Uncheck all of the other checkboxes. Choose Next.
Click Add No Activity on the Add an activity to Mobile screen.
Click Finish

At this point, Android Studio creates and open a project.

Step4: Get the project ready

The list of the default project files that Android Studio has prepared is expandable in the Project sidebar. Open the build.gradle file that is linked to the “app” module (not the project) in that list by expanding the list of Gradle scripts. The first line should read apply plugin: ‘com.android.application’.

In the toolbar, select Tools > Android > Sync Project with Gradle Files. You will be able to use the libraries required for your project.
Find and open the default src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file. In the Project sidebar, this file is nested under app and then under manifests. Replace the file’s contents with the following code:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<manifest xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”
package=”com.example.quickstart”>

<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.INTERNET” />
<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE” />
<uses-permission android:name=”android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS” />

<application
android:allowBackup=”true”
android:icon=”@mipmap/ic_launcher”
android:label=”YouTube Data API Android Quickstart”
android:theme=”@style/AppTheme” >
<activity
android:name=”.MainActivity”
android:label=”YouTube Data API Android Quickstart” >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=”android.intent.action.MAIN” />
<category android:name=”android.intent.category.LAUNCHER” />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

</application>
</manifest>

Step 5: setup sample

Create a new Java class. Select the java folder in the Project sidebar. This folder appears in the group of app files. After clicking on the folder, you can select File > New > Java Class from the menu bar, or you can right-click on the folder and select New > Java Class. If prompted to select a directory, choose …/app/src/main/java.

Name the class “MainActivity” and click OK. Replace the contents of the new file with the following code.

How to use ChatGPT API – a step-by-step integration guide and full documentation list

Technology

This article will discuss how to use ChatGPT API. Let’s get started!

Overview of ChatGPT API

ChatGPT is an upcoming and quite popular chatbot utilizing cutting-edge technologies. It is now an important criterion to use ChatGPT API and integrate it with the existing applications in a company for better usage.

In this article, we will learn about the steps of using OpenAI ChatGPT API and the documentation references of ChatGPT Official API.

How to use ChatGPT API for text completion – step-by-step integration guide

In the first section, we will discover the steps for how to use ChatGPT API for text completion. You need to use the completion endpoint in ChatGPT API to accomplish many tasks, which serves as a powerful and simple interface for integrating applications.

Step 1: Design the Prompts

There are a few guidelines for designing and creating the prompts:

Guide the ChatGPT model API on whether you would want the prompts in the form of instructions, examples, or a mix of both. Also if you want to use ChatGPT API for ranking a list or classify the items displayed, then you need to state that.
Provide appropriate ChatGPT API examples to help build the pattern. Ensure the examples are audited and proof-read multiple items
Next is to control the top_p and temperature in the settings for ChatGPT API integration. Adjust it to a lower value for one response and higher for diverse responses.

Refer document https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/completion/prompt-design

Step 2: Text Classification

Here are some of the best practices for classifying text in ChatGPT Public API:

Decision on the implication and sentiment of the description or text – whether it is neutral, positive, or negative
Suggested to use of plain, and simple language to easily understand and interpret
The description must be elaborated as much as possible, but removing additional words to ensure consistent performance
There must be the presence of sentiment labels in each of the instructions for easy judgment by the users
Lastly, you must run several tests to check that the probability of your settings is calibrated correctly

Step 3: New idea generation

Design the ChatGPT API to generate new ideas or different versions of the input. It can be slogans, some character descriptions, business plans, or even story ideas.
To ensure a quality response, include some examples in the prompt section and add them to the ChatGPT API server

Step 4: Devising ways to converse

The ChatGPT API must be instructed on how to behave and respond to the instructions by providing the text explicitly
The ChatGPT API key needs to be provided with an identity through which it responds like an AI assistant or a chatbot
Create a questions and answers sequence and then allow the Chatbot API token to pick up the patterns and use it for the return responses

Step 5: Introducing transformations

Develop the ChatGPT API to translate from one language to another, especially the languages with which the API is not well-conversed or familiar. You need to provide multiple examples to make the translation work
Devise the adaptability of the ChatGPT API to convert texts into characters or emojis by entering the appropriate patterns. This method is called conversion

Step 6: Creating a summary

If you want the ChatGPT API to share a summary about a topic then it is recommended to provide a paragraph with details on that topic. The API will then traverse through the topic and answer queries as per the questions being asked.
For example, if a child asks about the planet Saturn. You can write “Saturn is the sixth planet in the Solar system. After Jupiter, it is the second-largest planet. The unique feature of the planet is its ring system prominently visible and made of ice particles mainly. Saturn has 83 moons of which Titan is the largest and second-largest in the Solar system….”

Step 7: Setting the completion tips

The ChatGPT API limits need to be adjusted to check the completion of a response or statement
The temperature setting must be controlled to increase focus on a topic and end the response or keep it neutral to extend the boundary on the topic before the completion.

A sample code component for “React” statements

import React from ‘react’;

const HeaderComponent = () => (

Step 8: Preparing factual responses

Train the ChatGPT API to provide realistic responses

Do not train the API to read responses from entries like Wikipedia
Prepare responses after researching various topics, websites, factual materials, etc., and feed them to the API for generating quality responses
For queries that are tough to answer or ready answer not available, train the API to respond as “Dont know”

How to use ChatGPT API for chat completion – step by step integration guide

The next important topic related to ChatGPT API is how to use ChatGPT API for chat completion. Let’s now run through the steps, the examples, and the best practices and recommendations for using ChatGPT API for chats.

Using the chat option, the ChatGPT API can perform a wide variety of tasks like drafting an email, writing codes, displaying document links or references while responding to questions, providing tutorials, language translation, simulating characters for video games, conversations, and many more.

Let’s now focus on certain key points to remember on how to use ChatGPT API for chat completion

The design should be to ease the multi-turn conversations as well as single-turn without any type of conversations
The message parameter is the key input, containing an array of objects. The objects have content and role
The system message is used to determine the behavior, the user message is used to provide instructions, and the assistant message is used to record the previous responses
All related and relevant information must be shared in the form of conversations as the ChatGPT Get API key does not possess the memory of storing past requests.
The conversations need to be shortened and adjusted as per the ChatGPT API endpoint and token limits

Now let’s look at how to create the format of the response.

A ChatGPT API example of extracting the reply to the assistant message is

Response[‘choices’][0][‘message’][‘content’].

Next is to provide the different and probable values for the finish_reason. Every response must contain this particular parameter. The values which can be normally found in finish_reason are:

stop: ChatGPT API call returns the output of the entire model
length: limit, as set in the parameter, max_tokens for returning the model output, and due to the settings it returns the incomplete result
content_filter: a flag is set in the content_filter for omitting content
null: ChatGPT API response is incomplete or in progress

The next important part is to manage tokens. Tokens are an answer to the question of how to call ChatGPT API.

The models of the ChatGPT API can read chats in groups which are referred to as tokens
The token can be a string of characters or one word
The use of the number of tokens for ChatGPT API access to a particular sentence determines the cost of the API as the payment is done per token
The more you write the tokens, the more it takes time to call the API
It is important to remember that the total number of tokens must be less than the maximum limit of the model
While counting the tokens, you must consider both the input and output ones
You must check the total number of tokens used in the ChatGPT login screen and call through the usage field: response[‘usage’][‘total_tokens’]
If you do not want to go for an API call for counting tokens, then use the tiktoken Python library of OpenAI.
In any message to the ChatGPT API, the tokens are consumed by the content, the role of the user, and some additional fields which may be used for formatting the messages.
If the conversation cannot fit in the threshold limit of the tokens, then it is recommended to reduce the text length. But while reducing length, ensure the knowledge part is not compromised

Last but not least is how to provide instructions to the ChatGPT API model, which may vary from version to version.

Some models understand system messages while others understand the user messages better. It is advised to experiment with various approaches and modifications like using a specific format, leveraging explicit instructions, and providing logical guidance to the model to think before answering a response.

When you access ChatGPT through API, then remember the significance of the values set for the temperature and the max tokens. If the temperature is set at a higher value, then the response will appear randomly. And if the temperature is set at a lower value, then the output is more relevant and focused.

In the case of max tokens, you need to set the length judiciously. Sometimes the response returned may be shrunk and not provide the complete message as desired by the user.

How to use Spotify API – a step-by-step integration guide and full documentation list

Technology

This article will discuss how to use Spotify API, Let’s get started!

Overview of Spotify Web API

Spotify is one of the leading digital music streaming platforms today. You get immediate access to its huge online music and podcast library, allowing you to listen to your favorite content whenever you choose. Spotify is a library that contains music from different genres and artists. There are podcasts on various topics.

Developers can use Spotify Web API to develop software that can communicate with Spotify’s streaming platform to retrieve content metadata, receive suggestions, make and manage playlists, or manage playback. In this blog, we discuss how to use the Spotify API.

How to use Spotify API – step-by-step integration guide

API is an application programming interface that is a server that you can connect to so that you transmit and receive data. Through a Web API, Spotify gives access to some of its user, playlist, and artist data to software and app developers.

Although Spotify’s web API is designed to support app integration and can be used for data analysis. In this section, we will focus on how to use Spotify API. We assume you have a premium or free Spotify API account. We will use curl to make API calls.

Step 1: Setup your account – to set up your account, you need to log in to the Spotify Developers Dashboard. Read and accept the terms and conditions to complete the setup.

Step 2: Create an app – any of the authorization flows can be used by an app to implement the Client ID and Client Secret required to submit a request for an access token. To create an App, go to your dashboard and click on “Create an App” and fill out the below required information.

App Name: My_App
App Description: This is my first Spotify app
Redirect URI: You won’t need this parameter in this example, so let’s use http://localhost:3000.

Finally, check the Developer Terms of Service checkbox and tap on the Create button.

Step 3: Request an access token – the access token is a string that contains the credentials and permissions that can be used to access a given resource (e.g. artists, albums, or tracks) or user’s data (e.g. your profile or your playlists).

In order to request the access token you need to get your Client_ID and Client Secret:

Go to Dashboards
Click on the name of the app you just create My_app
Click on the Setting button. Here you can find the Client ID and Client Secret and be found behind the “View Secret Link”.

Now that you have the credentials in hand you can access tokens.

Send a POST request to the token endpoint URI.
Add the Content-Type header set to the application/x-www-form-urlencode
Add an HTTP body containing the Client ID and Client Secret, along with the grant_type parameter set to client_credentials.

curl -X POST “https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token” \

-H “Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded” \

-d “grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=your-client-id&client_secret=your-client-secret”

The response will return an access token valid for 1 hour

{

“access_token”: “BQDBKJ5eo5jxbtpWjVOj7ryS84khybFpP_lTqzV7uV-T_m0cTfwvdn5BnBSKPxKgEb11”,

“token_type”: “Bearer”,

“expires_in”: 3600

}

Step 4: Request artist data – in this example, we use the Get Artist endpoint to request information about the artist. According to the API Reference, the endpoint requires the Spotify_ID of the artist.

You can get the Spotify ID of an artist via the Spotify Desktop App”

Search the Artist.
Click on the three dots icons from artist’s profile.
Select share > copy link to the artist. The Spotify ID is the value, you see after the open.spotify.com/artist URI.

Our API call must include the access token we have just generated using the Authorization header as follows:

curl “https://api.spotify.com/v1/artists/4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb” \

-H “Authorization: Bearer BQDBKJ5eo5jxbtpWjVOj7ryS84khybFpP_lTqzV7uV-T_m0cTfwvdn5BnBSKPxKgEb11”

If there are no errors you will get JSON response.

What Developers Need To Know About Intellectual Property Rights?

Technology

This article will discuss about what developers need to know about intellectual property rights. Let’s get started!

The main prerequisite for a career in software development is understanding coding language. But it is also becoming increasingly important for developers to learn the basics of intellectual property (IP) rights.

Understanding your IP rights is critical because you can apply the knowledge to secure rights to your work while avoiding trouble for using the work of other developers illegally. So, if you are a new or experienced developer and want to delve into the basics of intellectual property for developers, this guide is an excellent read.

Understanding IP Rights

IPs are creations of the mind, such as inventions, art, literary work, designs, etc. Under IP laws, these creations of the minds fall under several categories, the most common being copyrights, trademarks, and patents. Also, these IP rights are registrable to allow the rights holder exclusive right to them and the legal right to stop and sue infringers. Below is a breakdown of these rights and their application in software development.

Copyright Protection

Copyright protection covers original works of authorship such as art, text, literary work, etc. You could wonder where these works of authorship come in in software development.

A developer who authors a line of code owns copyrights to it. Besides the code, copyright protection will also apply to the text used in your software, your marketing copies, and the graphics used in your software. Copyrights apply by default, so you do not always have to register them, but doing so can make it much easier to enforce. Also, they last through the author’s lifetime and 70 years after.

Trademarks

Trademarks are names, slogans, graphics, and other identifiers used to tell one product from similar products in the market. When applied to development, trademark protections help cover a developer’s business name, domain name, symbols used in marketing their products, etc.

Trademark protections give the rightful owners exclusive rights to use the identifiers for marketing their product which is critical in creating brand awareness and reputation. Trademark protections have a renewable ten-year term, so you can maintain your rights as long as you wish.

For a trademark to qualify for registration, it must be new and not closely resemble another registered trademark. Therefore, it is best to work with a skilled lawyer to help you understand trademark search techniques in Canada and guide you through the registration.

Patents

Patent protections apply to new inventions such as machines, processes, chemical compositions, etc. In software development, patent protection covers new ideas, systems, methods, functions, and algorithms the software uses.

To obtain patent rights, an inventor must first prove that the subject of registration is a first in the world and that it is useful and not obvious to persons with industry skills. In exchange for 20-year patent protection, the inventor is required to serve the registering entity with detailed information about the subject of registration which it then makes public after the expiration of the protection period which is one of the intellectual property rights.

Right Ownership

Now that you understand the rights that apply most in the industry, the next thing is to understand who owns these rights. Often, ownership rights depend on the type of IP, with the copyright belonging to the original author of the work by default.

However, there is an exemption to this rule, for example, if the author was employed to create the copyrighted item or transfer those rights to another party. Trademark rights can apply on a first-to-use basis or to the person registering the rights first. Patent rights apply to the person that files for registration. So if you are working as an independent developer, you must make rights ownership clear in your contract to prevent conflicts that may arise between you and your clients.

Geographical Limitations

IP rights are territorial in that they only apply within the borders of the country where they are registered. So protecting your rights in Canada does not guarantee similar protections in other countries.

If you want a broader reach in protections, consider registering your rights with WIPO, which offers protections on a global level.
