Check if a youtube movie is already reindexed

Question

Is there any way using youtube API to check if a video is already reindexed in the youtube search index after modyfying one of its tags? Language is not important right now, but prefered one is Java / Scala.

Answer 1

Once you update the video with the new tag, following the steps illustrated here, video goes into the reindex queue. It will be picked from queue based on the internal logic. As of now, I don't think we have an API to say the status of the index.

If your application has a need to do so, with current available API, you can poll for the video and retrieve the tags, check if your tag modification is available (temporary solution).
