I'm about to start a project that requires some simple YouTube
non-write data operations, like gathering users playlists and videos. I read that the YouTube 2.0 API
is deprecated, but I don't really want to use OAuth
authentication required for API 3.0.
Does this mean that the GDATA API
deprecated (in particular this: https://gdata.youtube.com/demo/index.html
What should I do? You can continue using the v2 API for comments and uploading video captions for now, and we'll be adding this functionality into the v3 API soon. While we don't have specific dates yet, we will release that functionality so that developers have as much time as possible to migrate to v3.
My YouTube API Key is Not Working Your API key may not be working because you're using it for the wrong project. Be sure you're using the key for the project that you created it for, especially if you created multiple projects at the same time. If it's still not working, consider creating a new API key entirely.
Yes, using the YouTube API does not incur any monetary cost for the entity calling the API. If you go over your quota an 403 Error will be returned by the API.
July 12, 2022The YouTube API Services Terms of Service has been updated. Please see the YouTube API Services Terms of Service - Revision History for more information.
Google's GData API for YouTube was deprecated on 2014-03-14 according to their api status page. This was after your original question was asked, but I'm leaving this here for other's (like myself) who are trying to keep track of which api is current..
