About Youtube Data Api

The YouTube Data API v3 (served via googleapis.com) allows developers to search videos, retrieve channel and playlist metadata, manage video uploads, and access public statistics such as view counts, likes, and comment counts. It operates on a free daily quota system (10,000 units/day default) rather than a paid per-call model. In December 2025 Google reduced the quota cost of video uploads significantly, enabling up to 100 video uploads per day on the free tier. Quota increases require a manual review request to Google.
