This is the default method for browsing a channel.
Tip for Mobile Users: On the YouTube app, you must scroll down to the "Videos" section on the channel homepage and tap "See all" to get a full scrolling list.
request = youtube.channels().list(part='contentDetails', id=CHANNEL_ID) response = request.execute() uploads_playlist_id = response['items'][0]['contentDetails']['relatedPlaylists']['uploads']
Listing all videos from a YouTube channel is technically straightforward using the YouTube Data API, provided the channel is public and you can write or run a simple script. For non‑technical users, third‑party tools offer a trade‑off between convenience and compliance. The best approach depends on frequency of use, channel size, and acceptable legal risk.

While YouTube doesn’t have a single button to "list all" for export, you can achieve this through a few distinct methods depending on whether you own the channel or are just a viewer. Method 1: For Channel Owners (Export via YouTube Studio)

If you remember a keyword from a video title but don't want to scroll through hundreds of uploads, use the search filter.
Alternatively, you can use a Google search operator: site:youtube.com/c/ChannelName "keyword"
If a channel has thousands of videos, scrolling can be inefficient. You can search specifically within a channel to find specific content. This is the default method for browsing a channel
with open('youtube_channel_list.csv', 'w', newline='', encoding='utf-8') as csvfile: writer = csv.writer(csvfile) writer.writerow(['Title', 'Video URL', 'Published Date', 'Views'])
# Process in batches of 50
for i in range(0, len(video_ids), 50):
batch_ids = video_ids[i:i+50]
videos_request = youtube.videos().list(
part='snippet,statistics',
id=','.join(batch_ids)
)
videos_response = videos_request.execute()
for video in videos_response['items']:
title = video['snippet']['title']
published = video['snippet']['publishedAt']
views = video['statistics'].get('viewCount', 'N/A')
url = f"https://youtu.be/video['id']"
writer.writerow([title, url, published, views])
print(f"Processed i+len(batch_ids) videos...")
print("Export complete: youtube_channel_list.csv")
This script will generate a CSV file containing the title, URL, date, and view count for every public video on the channel.
