I want to make a personal project with C# that consists on using the Youtube API to verify in my browser if I'm watching too many youtube videos in an X period of time (ex: If I watch more then 10 shorts in under 5 minutes, the program would alert me). It's supposed to be a simple project to consume any API for practice.
The problem is, I've been reading the API documentation and it doesn't mention verification of the history playlist and using 'time' as a parameter (ex: Get videos from history browser that were watched in the last 5 minutes).
Is there another approach that I'm not considering?
I'm still searching for approaches to see if it's a possible project. If there is no way to achieve that initial idea, I'll try another project to consume another API.
The YouTube data api doesnt support History or shorts.
If you live in Europe you could use the Data portability api to get your YouTube Activity from that. Currently thats only supported in Europe.
Or you could manually do a Google Takeout to get the data.
