Changelog for December 13th, 2024

YouTube

The "Latest video" endpoint has received some improvements:

• You can use the shorts_url parameter to get a URL that goes to the "Shorts layout" of YouTube, if your video is a "Shorts" video - Feature request on GitHub (issue #113)
  • Example: https://decapi.me/youtube/latest_video?shorts_url=1&handle=@NileRedExtra
  • Regular videos will still give you a URL that looks like: https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID_HERE.
  • However, "Shorts" (videos under 1 minute) will give you a URL that looks like: https://youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID_HERE.
• You can now pass your YouTube @ 'handle' instead of channel ID or legacy username. This was previously not supported.
  • Simply pass it with the @ prefix, like so: https://decapi.me/youtube/latest_video?handle=@NileRed
  • Note that while the example above uses the handle parameter, as long as you put @ before the actual handle, you can use the id or user parameter as well.
