I have been attempting to download the metadata for our You-Tube channel for some time now. What I am attempting to download is a list to make an excel document of that contains each videos Title, URL, and what playlist it belongs too. Is this possible with the coding you have done already or would this need to be created? If I could only download the file name and URL that would be great as well for all the videos in my youtube channel. Additionally, I do not need the videos to be downloaded either.

--dump-json/--dump-single-json.

That did not work for me. I am trying to download all the channels video metadata with only the title and URL and if possible what playlist it belongs to. My goal is to make a spreadsheet with column names of Title, URL, and Playlist. Then possibly upload date and video description.

Kind of what this website does with no images http://bythos.com/cgi/youscript/ytform.html

Aforementioned commands provide you complete metadata in JSON per video (the former) or per playlist (the latter). What will you do with it next is up to you.
