Request all videos with automatic nextToken

[petersontubini]

Hi,
I've created a new function to retrieve all videos with automatic token!

Check the code below:

private $next = array();
private $playItemsArray = array();

public function getAllPlaylistItemsByPlaylistId($playlistId,$maxResults=50,$pageToken=""){
    $API_URL = $this->getApi('playlistItems.list');
    $params = array(
        'playlistId' => $playlistId,
        'part' => 'id, snippet, contentDetails, status',
        'maxResults' => $maxResults,
        'pageToken' => $pageToken
    );
    $apiData = $this->api_get($API_URL, $params);
    return $this->decodePlayList($apiData,$playlistId);
}


        public function decodePlayList(&$apiData,$id){
    $resObj = json_decode($apiData);
    if(isset($resObj->error)){
        $msg = "Error ".$resObj->error->code." ".$resObj->error->message;
        if(isset($resObj->error->errors[0])){
            $msg .= " : " . $resObj->error->errors[0]->reason;
        }
        throw new \Exception($msg);
    }else{
        $itemsArray = $resObj->items;
        if(!is_array($itemsArray) || count($itemsArray) == 0){
            return FALSE;
        }else{
        if (isset($resObj->nextPageToken)) {
        array_unshift ($this->next, $resObj->nextPageToken);
        $this->playItemsArray = array_merge($this->playItemsArray,$itemsArray);
        self::getAllPlaylistItemsByPlaylistId($id,50,$this->next[0]);

        } else {
        $this->playItemsArray = array_merge($this->playItemsArray,$itemsArray);
            }
        return $this->playItemsArray;
        }
    }
}

I've checked and this function just consume 60 Google Developer points (with 300 videos) and take around 35 seconds to run !

If you guys have another better way to do it tell or post it here!

This is very powerful when you want to get all videos 🎯
