YouTube Data API how to upload more then seven videos

Question

I am trying to upload upload 1000 videos to YouTube through the YouTube Data API directly.

Have tried the YouTube Data Api service, but unable to load more than 7 videos.

Answer 1

The YouTube Data API has a cost based quota. By default when you create your project you are given 10000 quota points to use. If you check the Quota calculator you will find that Video.Insert costs 1600 quota points.

10000 / 1600 = 6,25

So using the default quota you can max upload 6 videos per day.

The solution is to go to google cloud console and request a quota extension. Be patient it can take some time to get approved for your extension.

You may want to just ask for 2 million see what they say.
