API: Add endpoint for bulk /Votes videoId requests, and/or entire channel.

[shoffing]

Extension or Userscript?

Both

Request or suggest a new feature!

I'd like to request dislike counts for a whole bunch of videos at the same time. My use case is to sort videos of a given channel by like:dislike ratio, which would be hundreds of API requests if I need to do a separate request for each video currently. Not feasible to do with respect to the rate limit.

Ways to implement this!

1. Update the /Votes endpoint to accept a comma-separated list of video ids, e.g.:

https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com/Votes?videoIds=vid1%2Cvid2%2Cvid3

Returning a JSON array with all the results.

2. Update the /Votes endpoint to accept a channel ID, like:

https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com/Votes?channelId=sixtysymbols

Returning a JSON array of the results (or an object keyed by videoId).

Pagination may be needed for the results from these new endpoints, with a reasonable max page size, maybe like 100 or something?

Will you be available for follow-up questions to help developers implement this?

Yes

Any update on this? It would be a very nice feature that would allow, for example, the ability to sort a channel's videos by their like/dislike ratio (quality).

Is the API open source? I might be willing to help build this.
