W3 Tweaks developed the YouTube Search V3 API tutorial and demo for the user. So here we have covered the YouTube search autocomplete suggestion API and the YouTube video search API. We already have a separate tutorial for search suggestions with basic implementation. From this tutorial, the user can easily understand merging both APIs into a single demo. YouTube pagination is also implemented user can find the demo and download the instant youtube search code below
Ok, we can start our tutorial. Below YouTube, a video search tutorial will explain how to work with the Jquery plugin and YouTube V3 API.
Include 3rd party dependency JavaScript and CSS.
`<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js" type="text/javascript"></script>`In the above dependency files, jQuery UI is used for the search input box.
And include the below CSS file to get youtube like theme. If you want to modify the style you are good to go because this is developed by w3 Tweaks.
`<link rel="stylesheet" href=”http://w3tweaks.com/demo/youtube_search_videos/maincss.css” type="text/css">`Note: Advice to download the “maincss.css” locally

Below JavaScript code for YouTube Search autocomplete suggestion API
` $(document).ready(function() {
$("#pageTokenNext").on("click", function(event) {
$("#pageToken").val($("#pageTokenNext").val());
youtubeApiCall();
});
$("#pageTokenPrev").on("click", function(event) {
$("#pageToken").val($("#pageTokenPrev").val());
youtubeApiCall();
});
$("#hyv-searchBtn").on("click", function(event) {
youtubeApiCall();
return false;
});
jQuery("#hyv-search").autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) { //console.log(request.term);
var sqValue = [];
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://suggestqueries.google.com/complete/search?hl=en&ds=yt&client=youtube&hjson=t&cp=1",
dataType: 'jsonp',
data: jQuery.extend({
q: request.term
}, {}),
success: function(data) {
console.log(data[1]);
obj = data[1];
jQuery.each(obj, function(key, value) {
sqValue.push(value[0]);
});
response(sqValue);
}
});
},
select: function(event, ui) {
setTimeout(function() {
youtubeApiCall();
}, 300);
}
});
});`Below JavaScript function will pull the YouTube videos from YouTube Search V3 API
` function youtubeApiCall() {
