When using an API (like developers.google.com ) use part=snippet

and the feed you provided channelTitle

can then be found in one of the objects items/snippet

.

Here's a truncated answer:



{
  ...
  "items": [
    {
      ...
      "snippet": {
        ...
        "channelTitle": "maxindia",
        ...
      }
    }
}

Here is a Python solution. It tries to find out channel information from the video ID. Some new channels only have a channel ID and username.



import requests

API_KEY = "..."

def get_channel_id(vid):
    url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?id={vid}&key={api_key}&part=snippet".format(
        vid=vid, api_key=API_KEY
    )
    d = requests.get(url).json()
    return d['items'][0]['snippet']['channelId']

def get_channel_title(cid):
    url = "https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channelId={cid}&key={api_key}".format(
        cid=cid, api_key=API_KEY
    )
    d = requests.get(url).json()
    return d['items'][0]['snippet']['channelTitle']

def main():
    video_id = "..."
    channel_id = get_channel_id(video_id)
    channel_title = get_channel_title(channel_id)
    print(channel_id)
    print(channel_title)
