Considering YouTube videos, programmatically get your channel?
I found at least five questions of the form "there is a YouTube channel here, how do I programmatically get videos on this channel?"
I want to do the opposite: given the video, what channel did it appear on?
So far I have looked for solutions on this in the official YouTube API. I've also looked at libraries like pafy. No luck yet.

It looks like you can make a video request and then install:
part=snippet
This will return channelId
, by the way. I made a request like this:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet&id=f8WsO__XcI0&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
and I get the answer:
