Is youtube data api totally free

I am going to implement a python client that search videos on youtube with different queries. Apparently I should use youtube data api for this. Even though I read quata cost I just want to be sure that using youtube api is totally free of charge. Sorry it is too basic.

Is it legal to use YouTube API?

This YouTube API Services Terms of Service ("Terms of Service") is a legal document you must comply with at all times when accessing or using the YouTube API Services.

Does YouTube API have a limit?

Quota usage Projects that enable the YouTube Data API have a default quota allocation of 10,000 units per day, an amount sufficient for the overwhelming majority of our API users.

What data can I get from YouTube API?

The API provides the ability to retrieve feeds related to videos, users, and playlists. It also provides the ability to manipulate these feeds, such as creating new playlists, adding videos as favorites, and sending messsages.

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.

Google already provides a Python client for all of its APIs, including YouTube, which handles authentication, forming and making the API request as well as some datatype translation (i.e. JSON to dictionary, etc.). (link)
