Here is a JavaScript version - it returns the 13 IDs found in the list you posted

const delParms = ['a', 'app', 'list', 'feature', 'rel', 'si'];

const ids = new Set(
  list.map(url => {
    // Normalize URL
    url = url.replace(/(attribution_link|uploademail|youtube-nocookie)/gi, 'x');
    // Parse URL
    let urlObject = new URL(url);
    // Check for embedded URL and parse it if present
    const embed = urlObject.searchParams.get('url');
    if (embed) urlObject = new URL(embed);
    // Extract 'v' parameter if present
    const v = urlObject.searchParams.get('v');
    if (v) return v;
    // Remove unwanted parameters
    delParms.forEach(parm => urlObject.searchParams.delete(parm));
    // Convert URL to string and replace encoded '='
    url = urlObject.toString().replace(/%3D/gi, '=');
    // Extract ID from URL
    const idMatch = url.match(/[\-_a-z0-9]{10,15}/i);
    const id = idMatch ? idMatch[0] : `No: ${url}`;
    return id;
  })
);
console.log(ids);

Here's a python regex that matches all of the links in this gist:

^((https?://(?:www\.)?(?:m\.)?youtube\.com))/((?:oembed\?url=https?%3A//(?:www\.)youtube.com/watch\?(?:v%3D)(?P<video_id_1>[\w\-]{10,20})&format=json)|(?:attribution_link\?a=.*watch(?:%3Fv%3D|%3Fv%3D)(?P<video_id_2>[\w\-]{10,20}))(?:%26feature.*))|(https?:)?(\/\/)?((www\.|m\.)?youtube(-nocookie)?\.com\/((watch)?\?(app=desktop&)?(feature=\w*&)?v=|embed\/|v\/|e\/)|youtu\.be\/)(?P<video_id_3>[\w\-]{10,20})

Python 3 implementation:

def get_youtube_video_id_by_url(url):
    regex = r"^((https?://(?:www\.)?(?:m\.)?youtube\.com))/((?:oembed\?url=https?%3A//(?:www\.)youtube.com/watch\?(?:v%3D)(?P<video_id_1>[\w\-]{10,20})&format=json)|(?:attribution_link\?a=.*watch(?:%3Fv%3D|%3Fv%3D)(?P<video_id_2>[\w\-]{10,20}))(?:%26feature.*))|(https?:)?(\/\/)?((www\.|m\.)?youtube(-nocookie)?\.com\/((watch)?\?(app=desktop&)?(feature=\w*&)?v=|embed\/|v\/|e\/)|youtu\.be\/)(?P<video_id_3>[\w\-]{10,20})"
    match = re.match(regex, url, re.IGNORECASE)
    if match:
        return (
            match.group("video_id_1")
            or match.group("video_id_2")
            or match.group("video_id_3")
        )
    else:
        return None

It matches everything in the gist, but can probably be improved upon for performance, so feel free to suggest improvements! Just test them here first: https://regex101.com/

Thank you for sharing this snippet. Working great.

Just FYI both these functions do not work for URLs in the following format.

For those using javascript/typescript, I have a function and regex working for all combinations above plus youtube shorts:

export function getVideoIdFromYoutubeUrl(url: string) {
  const regex = /(?:youtu\.be\/|youtube\.com(?:\/(?:[^\/\n\s]+\/\S+\/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)\/|\S*?[?&]v=|shorts\/)|youtu\.be\/|embed\/|v\/|m\/|watch\?(?:[^=]+=[^&]+&)*?v=))([^"&?\/\s]{11})/gm;
  return regex.exec(url)[1];
}

Here's a python regex that matches all of the links in this gist:

^((https?://(?:www\.)?(?:m\.)?youtube\.com))/((?:oembed\?url=https?%3A//(?:www\.)youtube.com/watch\?(?:v%3D)(?P<video_id_1>[\w\-]{10,20})&format=json)|(?:attribution_link\?a=.*watch(?:%3Fv%3D|%3Fv%3D)(?P<video_id_2>[\w\-]{10,20}))(?:%26feature.*))|(https?:)?(\/\/)?((www\.|m\.)?youtube(-nocookie)?\.com\/((watch)?\?(app=desktop&)?(feature=\w*&)?v=|embed\/|v\/|e\/)|youtu\.be\/)(?P<video_id_3>[\w\-]{10,20})

Python 3 implementation:

def get_youtube_video_id_by_url(url):
    regex = r"^((https?://(?:www\.)?(?:m\.)?youtube\.com))/((?:oembed\?url=https?%3A//(?:www\.)youtube.com/watch\?(?:v%3D)(?P<video_id_1>[\w\-]{10,20})&format=json)|(?:attribution_link\?a=.*watch(?:%3Fv%3D|%3Fv%3D)(?P<video_id_2>[\w\-]{10,20}))(?:%26feature.*))|(https?:)?(\/\/)?((www\.|m\.)?youtube(-nocookie)?\.com\/((watch)?\?(app=desktop&)?(feature=\w*&)?v=|embed\/|v\/|e\/)|youtu\.be\/)(?P<video_id_3>[\w\-]{10,20})"
    match = re.match(regex, url, re.IGNORECASE)
    if match:
        return (
            match.group("video_id_1")
            or match.group("video_id_2")
            or match.group("video_id_3")
        )
    else:
        return None

to cover these edge cases, you can use the following regex:

/(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:m\.)?youtube\.com\/watch\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/

and in typescript:

export function getVideoIdFromYoutubeUrl(url: string) {
  const regex =
    /(?:youtu\.be\/|youtube\.com(?:\/(?:[^\/\n\s]+\/\S+\/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?)\/|\S*?[?&]v=|shorts\/)|youtu\.be\/|embed\/|v\/|m\/|watch\?(?:[^=]+=[^&]+&)*?v=))([^"&?\/\s]{11})/gm;

  const edgeCasesRegex = /(?:https?:\/\/)?(?:www\.)?(?:m\.)?youtube\.com\/watch\/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/;

  let result = regex.exec(url);

  if (!result) result = edgeCasesRegex.exec(url);

  return result[1];
}

if you are using JS, TS, or Angular u can use this works fine for me

getYoutubeVideoId(url) {
    // Regular expression to match different YouTube URL formats, including shorts
    const regExp = /(?:youtube\.com\/(?:[^\/\n\s]+\/\S+\/|(?:v|e(?:mbed)?|shorts)\/|\S*?[?&]v=)|youtu\.be\/)([a-zA-Z0-9_-]{11})/i;
    const match = url.match(regExp);
    console.log(match && match[1] ? match[1] : null, "id", url); // For debugging purposes
    return match && match[1] ? match[1] : null;
  }
