YouTube Example - Get comments of a channel


The ZappySys API Driver is a user-friendly interface designed to facilitate the seamless integration of various applications with the YouTube API. With its intuitive design and robust functionality, the ZappySys API Driver simplifies the process of configuring specific API endpoints to efficiently read or write data from YouTube.

Following examples shows how to Get comments of a channel from YouTube using ZappySys API Driver. You can explore additional examples for the Azure DevOps Connector here.

SELECT * FROM get_comments WITH (channelId='INPUT_YOUR_CHANNEL_ID')

Microsoft SQL Server OPENQUERY Query - YouTube Example

Following examples shows how to Get comments of a channel in Microsoft SQL Server using OPENQUERY Query. This command facilitates the execution of pass-through queries on remote servers. Below example is demonstrating the usage of OPENQUERY.

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY([MY_LINKED_SERVER_NAME], 
'SELECT * FROM get_comments WITH (channelId=''INPUT_YOUR_CHANNEL_ID'')');

Microsoft SQL Server EXEC Query - YouTube Example (Handling larger SQL text)

The major drawback of OPENQUERY is its inability to incorporate variables within SQL statements, which often leads to the use of cumbersome dynamic SQL (with numerous ticks and escape characters).
Fortunately, there is a solution. Starting with SQL 2005 and onwards, you can utilize the EXEC (your_sql) AT your_linked_server syntax. Following examples shows how to Get comments of a channel in Microsoft SQL Server using EXEC Query.

DECLARE @MyQyery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'SELECT * FROM get_comments WITH (channelId=''INPUT_YOUR_CHANNEL_ID'')';

EXE (@MyQyery) AT [MY_LINKED_SERVER_NAME];
