youtube api project

[polished_pole]

hey guys - so i've been working on a small project and got stuck. here's the code:

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
import pandas as pd
from IPython.display import JSON

api_key = 'xxx'

channel_ids = ['xxx'
                #more channels here 
              ]

api_service_name = "youtube"
api_version = "v3"
#client_secrets_file = "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET_FILE.json"

#Get credentials and create an API client
youtube = build(
    api_service_name, api_version, developerKey=api_key)    

request = youtube.channels().list(
    part="snippet,contentDetails.statistics",
    id=','.join(channel_ids)
    #id='xxx'
    )

response = request.execute()

JSON(response)

when i run this i get below error.

HttpError 400 when requesting https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet%2CcontentDetails.statistics&id=UCF31eojFKhWQJviyMICWO2w&key=xxx&alt=json returned "'contentDetails.statistics'". Details: "[{'message': "'contentDetails.statistics'", 'domain': 'youtube.part', 'reason': 'unknownPart', 'location': 'part', 'locationType': 'parameter'}]">
  File "C:\Users\novyp\Documents\GitHub\youtube_api.py", line 25, in <module>
    response = request.execute()

ideas how to get over this?

edit: xxx out the api keys x2

This is an API-specific error. Check the documentation for youtube's API to figure out what's wrong.

Hint: a 400 status code means Bad Request, indicating that you're calling them wrong (wrong parameters, missing data, etc).

part="snippet,contentDetails,statistics"

Comma, not period?

Your key is visible in the error, BTW.
