youtube api v3 fetch all videos from a channel that are newer than a video

Question

I already have a script to get all videos information from a youtube channel and store them in a database. Now I want to update my database in case new videos have been uploaded to that channel. How do I retrieve videos that are newer than the newest video in my database?

I have the channelTitle of the channel, videoId and publishedAt of the newest video in the database.

then check is the publishedAt is different from you publishedAt stored in your database. Don't see the problem — mpgn, May 02 '16 at 07:37

your solution is very inefficient if a channel has hundreds or thousands of videos. @mpgn — nos, May 04 '16 at 13:06

Use the publishedAfter parameter for your search query. See https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list#parameters

As a side note, this is **not** supported with `videos/list`. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/list – aleclarson Jul 15 '16 at 00:19
