In YouTube API v3 documentation there are parameters like regionCode, videoEmbeddable, videoSyndicated. But it seems none of them are working properly. I want to exclude VEVO videos from my search results. So it should be possible with videoEmbeddable='true' parameter. But this parameter makes no difference to my search results.

Using API v2 I could remove VEVO vidoes by adding the parameter format=5 but this parameter is not available in v3.

Does anyone know how to do this using v3?

  • Did you ever figure this one out? I am struggling with the same thing right now. videoEmbeddable and videoSyndicated seem to do nothing to the results. Commented Feb 5, 2015 at 22:18
  • No. I had to filter search result by checking username. If username contains "VEVO" I removed it. This is not the best way and it's not 100% successful but most of the time it gets the job done. I couldn't find a way to do it with v3 API. Commented Feb 6, 2015 at 4:27

When you do a search->list, you can set videoSyndicated to true.

I am using this flag and am still getting videos that cannot be played on my site. The 2nd result for related videos to ID: SZoX6Q0UK8A is egYMZKpENCg. When I try to play it, I get the error: "This video contains content from SME. It is restricted from playback on certain sites. Watch on YouTube."

Try adding &type=video&videoEmbeddable=true although this might be the same as the previous solution, it worked for. You might have a more specific problem, as if seems.

I am seeing exactly this problem as well. I also receive non-embeddable videos with exactly the query &type=video&videoEmbeddable=true as suggested. Looks like a bug in the api to me.
