Is YouTube API dependent on a specific browser? - browser

I am using the YouTube API to search for YouTube videos using the yt_search() function. I am wondering whether searches made using the API are dependent on or unaffected by local browser history or cache and, if so, from which browser?
Note: I recognize this is more of a back-end question and not code-based per se, but would appreciate any and all responses from anyone with YouTube API expertise/experience. Thanks.

Get list of all comments made by a given user with Youtube Data API?

Is it possible to get a list of all comments made by a given user's account with Youtube Data API, or even another API?
If this isn't a direct feature, would there be a convoluted way of doing this by seeing all the videos watched by a user and parsing the comments out of those specific videos?
The goal of my project is to create a 'Spotify Wrapped' style website but for youtube (showing a user their most liked comments, the channels they watch the most, etc) but I'm having trouble finding the correct search criteria in the Youtube Data API documentation.
I am using HMTL, CSS, and JavaScript currently, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Tom.

Is there a way to get audio from spotify

So I'm Working on a NodeJs project and am wondering if there is a way to get audio from Spotify Like you Input a song URL and It plays the track, I've looked all around and can only find stuff for the web browser, I don't know if they even have a way. If there is any info about this please let me know.
You'd have to make calls through the Spotify API.
You can read more about the API here: Spotify API Documentation
This is a node.js specific library that you may also want to check out:
thelinmichael's node.js Spotify API Library
The answer provisioned and marked as correct is wrong.
The only way you can extract audio is by using a Windows VM, connect via RDP. Run a script to play Spotify programatically and record the audio.
Since this is the only solution. It is not possible to query data from Spotify.

Using node/vuejs, how to make google place API request on client side

I am using vuejs which runs as a single page application in the browser, so any API calls I am making are using axios. Unfortunately googles APIs block any requests through axios due to CORS. I have tried various npm packages to try and solve this, including "official" google maps package, but I still run into CORS issues.
I am positive there must be a way to do a placeid search through the browser using one of their javascript libraries, but I can't for the life of me find any good articles or examples to see how it is done.
I have google autocomplete working, and creating google maps through geocode is no problem, just can't find anything related to placeid search.
Here is an example of the request I am trying to make taken from googles docs.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json?placeid=ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY4&key=YOUR_API_KEY
Can anyone provide a solution or link to an explanation on how to do this properly through javascript library, or through API call without running into CORS problems?
Your link to Google Maps Package is Node.js package (server side). That's why you have CORS issue.
If you're building a client-side application, take a look at the
Places SDK for Android, the Places SDK for iOS, and the Places
Library, Maps JavaScript API.
If you want to use it Google Maps on client side, you should use Maps JavaScript API

how to use the best way to contact any thirdparty API's from web client

I am new to use the foursquare API,
I want to use the foursquare api's on my web development.
my question is,
i) can I call the foursquare api's directly from the web browser with out contacting the
server, Is there a way/mechanism to do so?
ii) If it should contact through the server what is the best optimum way to do so.
iii) pointing me to the specific document deals above the case would be also appreciated
Much appreciated for your quick.
For documentation and tutorials for the FourSquare API, reference: https://developer.foursquare.com/
Specifically, you would be using JS to do what you ask. It will be done in the web browser as it is a web API.

Any libraries that can make accessing Google APIs as a service account simpler for NodeJS?

Background: My idea is to create a primarily content-heavy website (think news articles or blog posts) written entirely in nodejs. Since creating content on Google Drive (Google Docs) in particular is very simple, what I would like to do is have Nodejs retrieve the website's content from Google Docs.
Challenge: As far as I can tell, the correct way to do this according to Google is to create a Service Account so that the application can access the files stored on Google Drive without requiring user-intervention in the form of a confirmation. Google provides three libraries--java, python, and php--for server-to-server requests. Does anyone know of anything similar already written by the Node community? I am aware of node-oauth but I've searched through it's source and haven't found anything referencing private keys, which are required for server-to-server interaction, which I'm taking to mean it's not supported. Writing one is also an option, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. Looking at the Google-written Java Oauth2 client library makes it pretty clear that it's not an easy task.
Thanks in advance!
This is one library I've found that looks pretty thorough and complete for creating JSON Web Tokens: JWCrypto
I know this thread is old, but in the event others arrive here looking for an answer:
Google is working on an official module to access all of their API's. Its alpha so be careful but it looks very nice- github repository
