In reply to Little smile. I would select 26: Howto & Style for your category.

In reply to Anonymous. It could be related to the region, as not all regions have all categories available. However I tested category 27 (Education) for a few regions, and it was available in all of them. Which region are you fetching data for?

I am not sure why but category 27 which I want is alone not working. Does anybody know why?

In reply to Vlad. I don't think you can do this because this list categorizes videos, not channels. You could make a request like https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&type=video&maxResults=25&videoCategoryId=20 but that would just return all the videos with a gaming category, not the channels. There used to be a categoryId for channels, too, but this page says it's been deprecated.

Hello Ana,

Nice blog!

Is it possible to get the list of YouTube channels for a specific Category ID?
For instance, Gaming, 20, I need the list of all channels. Is it possible?
