История изменений

На этой странице перечислены изменения и обновления документации YouTube Data API (v3). Подпишитесь на этот журнал изменений .

4 декабря 2025 г.

Документация API данных YouTube и калькулятор квот были обновлены с учетом изменения стоимости квоты на загрузку видео с приблизительно 1600 единиц до приблизительно 100 единиц.

10 июля 2025 г.

С 21 июля 2025 года YouTube скорректирует контент, возвращаемый диаграммой mostPopular метода video.list . Раньше диаграмма mostPopular отражала видео из списка «В тренде». Теперь в диаграмме mostPopular будут представлены видео из списков «В тренде»: «Музыка», «Фильмы» и «Игры». Это изменение API связано с прекращением поддержки страницы «В тренде» на YouTube.

26 марта 2025 г.

С 31 марта 2025 года YouTube изменит систему подсчёта просмотров коротких видео. Раньше просмотр коротких видео засчитывался после определённого количества секунд воспроизведения. Теперь просмотры будут учитывать количество запусков или повторов вашего короткого видео, без ограничений по минимальному времени просмотра. Подробнее

Начиная с 31 марта 2025 года следующие поля в API данных будут возвращать количество просмотров коротких видео в соответствии с этим изменением:

• channels.statistics.viewCount
• videos.statistics.viewCount

30 октября 2024 г.

API теперь поддерживает возможность определять видео, содержащие реалистичный изменённый или синтетический ( A/S ) контент. Узнайте больше о политике YouTube в отношении A/S-контента .

Примерами контента A/S являются видеоролики, которые:

• Заставить реального человека сделать вид, что он говорит или делает что-то, чего он на самом деле не говорил и не делал
• Изменить кадры реального события или места
• Создайте реалистичную сцену, которая на самом деле не происходила

Чтобы указать, содержит ли видео контент A/S, установите свойство status.containsSyntheticMedia . Это свойство можно задать при вызове методов videos.insert или videos.update . Если свойство установлено, оно возвращается в video .

30 апреля 2024 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

API больше не поддерживает возможность вставки и извлечения обсуждений каналов. Это изменение соответствует функционалу, поддерживаемому на сайте YouTube, где не поддерживается публикация комментариев к каналам.

13 марта 2024 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

Параметр sync для методов captions.insert и captions.update устарел. YouTube прекратит поддержку этого параметра с 12 апреля 2024 года.

В результате этого изменения разработчикам придется включать информацию о времени при вставке или обновлении дорожек субтитров, иначе загрузка не будет выполнена.

12 марта 2024 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

В документацию по ресурсу captions внесено изменение с учетом того, что максимально допустимая длина поля snippet.name составляет 150 символов. API возвращает ошибку nameTooLong если название трека длиннее.

7 марта 2024 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Свойство ресурса channel brandingSettings.channel.moderateComments устарело. YouTube прекратит поддержку этого параметра с 7 марта 2024 года.

31 января 2024 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

Новый параметр forHandle метода channels.list позволяет получить информацию о канале, указав его идентификатор YouTube.

9 ноября 2023 г.

Все ссылки на ресурс videoId в разделе Comments были удалены, поскольку ресурс videoId не возвращается с помощью вызова API.

12 сентября 2023 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Метод comments.markAsSpam устарел несколько лет назад. Он уже не поддерживается на YouTube и больше не поддерживается через API.

Во все документы, ссылающиеся на метод comments.markAsSpam , добавлено уведомление об устаревании.

22 августа 2023 г.

Метод search.list теперь поддерживает параметр videoPaidProductPlacement . Этот параметр позволяет фильтровать результаты поиска, включая только те видео, которые автор отметил как платные для продвижения.

18 августа 2023 г.

Определение параметра liveStreamingDetails.concurrentViewers video обновлено с учётом того, что количество одновременных зрителей, возвращаемое API данных YouTube, может отличаться от обработанных и очищенных от спама данных, доступных в YouTube Analytics. Справочный центр YouTube предоставляет дополнительную информацию о метриках прямых трансляций.

7 августа 2023 г.

Как было объявлено 12 июня 2023 года , параметр relatedToVideoId метода search.list устарел. Он больше не поддерживается, и ссылки на него удалены из документации API.

28 июня 2023 г.

Метод thumbnails.set теперь поддерживает ошибку uploadRateLimitExceeded , которая означает, что канал загрузил слишком много миниатюр за последние 24 часа и следует повторить попытку позже.

12 июня 2023 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Параметр relatedToVideoId метода search.list устарел. YouTube прекратит поддержку этого параметра с 7 августа 2023 года.

В настоящее время в документацию метода search.list добавлено уведомление об устаревании. Этот параметр будет полностью удалён из документации search.list 7 августа 2023 года или позднее.

Кроме того, из руководства по внедрению API был удален пример, демонстрирующий, как извлекать похожие видео.

22 августа 2022 г.

Исправлены аннотации типов для полей video.statistics на строковые из unsigned long.

5 августа 2022 г.

YouTube изменил способ генерации идентификаторов субтитров и, в рамках этого изменения, присваивает новые идентификаторы всем дорожкам с субтитрами. Это изменение может быть обратно несовместимым для приложений, хранящих значения caption_id , хотя оно не повлияет на приложения, которые не хранят значения caption_id .

С настоящего момента и до 1 декабря 2022 года методы captions.list , captions.update , captions.download и captions.delete будут поддерживать как старые, так и новые идентификаторы дорожек субтитров. Однако с 1 декабря 2022 года YouTube прекратит поддержку старых идентификаторов дорожек субтитров. После этого вызов любого из этих методов API со старым идентификатором дорожки субтитров приведёт к ошибке captionNotFound .

Чтобы подготовиться к этому изменению, вам следует запланировать полную замену всех сохраненных данных дорожек субтитров в период с настоящего момента по 1 декабря 2022 года. Это означает, что для любого видео, для которого вы храните данные дорожек субтитров, вам следует удалить текущие сохраненные данные, а затем вызвать метод captions.list , чтобы получить текущий набор дорожек субтитров для видео и сохранить данные в ответе API, как вы это делаете обычно.

12 июля 2022 г.

Условия предоставления услуг API YouTube были обновлены. Подробнее см. в разделе « Условия предоставления услуг API YouTube — История изменений» .

27 апреля 2022 г.

Описание метода videos.insert было обновлено с целью отметить, что максимальный размер файла для загружаемых видео увеличился со 128 ГБ до 256 ГБ.

8 апреля 2022 г.

Определения параметров myRecentSubscribers и mySubscribers метода subscriptions.list были обновлены с учётом того, что максимальное количество подписчиков, возвращаемых API, может быть ограничено. Это изменение представляет собой исправление документации, а не изменение поведения API.

15 декабря 2021 г.

Как было объявлено 18 ноября 2021 года , в связи с изменениями, направленными на то, чтобы сделать счетчики нелюбви к видео конфиденциальными на всей платформе YouTube , свойство ресурса video statistics.dislikeCount теперь является конфиденциальным.

Более подробную информацию об этом изменении можно найти в официальном блоге YouTube .

18 ноября 2021 г.

В связи с изменениями, направленными на то, чтобы сделать счетчики нелюбимых видео конфиденциальными на всей платформе YouTube , свойство ресурса video statistics.dislikeCount станет конфиденциальным с 13 декабря 2021 года. Это означает, что свойство будет включено в ответ API от конечной точки videos.list только в том случае, если запрос API был аутентифицирован владельцем видео.

Это изменение не влияет на конечную точку videos.rate .

Разработчики, которые не публикуют счётчики дизлайков и которым всё равно требуется счётчик дизлайков для своего API-клиента, могут подать заявку на включение в разрешённый список для получения исключения. Чтобы подать заявку на исключение, необходимо заполнить эту форму .

Более подробную информацию об этом изменении можно найти в официальном блоге YouTube .

2 июля 2021 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Конечная точка commentThreads.update устарела и больше не поддерживается. Эта конечная точка дублирует функциональность, доступную через другие конечные точки API. Вместо этого вы можете вызвать comments.update

1 июля 2021 г.

Все разработчики, использующие API-сервисы YouTube, должны пройти аудит соответствия API, чтобы получить квоту, превышающую установленную по умолчанию квоту в 10 000 единиц. На сегодняшний день как процесс аудита соответствия, так и запросы на выделение дополнительных единиц квоты были проведены разработчиками, заполнившими и отправившими форму аудита и расширения квоты API-сервисов YouTube .

Чтобы прояснить эти процессы и лучше удовлетворить потребности разработчиков, использующих наши API-сервисы, мы добавляем три новые формы и руководство по их заполнению:

• Форма запроса проверенных разработчиков : разработчики, которые уже прошли аудит соответствия API, могут заполнить и отправить эту сокращенную форму, чтобы запросить продление выделенной квоты.
• Форма апелляции : разработчики, чьи проекты API не прошли аудит соответствия (или которым было отказано в увеличении квоты), могут заполнить и отправить эту форму.
• Форма смены контроля : Разработчики или любые стороны, управляющие клиентом API от имени разработчика, у которых произошла смена контроля (например, в результате покупки или продажи акций, слияния или другой формы корпоративной сделки), связанной с проектом API, должны заполнить и отправить эту форму. Это позволит команде YouTube, отвечающей за API, обновить наши записи, проверить соответствие нового проекта API требованиям и проверить текущее распределение квот разработчика.

Каждая новая форма будет информировать нас о вашем предполагаемом использовании API YouTube и позволит нам оказывать вам более эффективную помощь.

Более подробную информацию можно найти в нашем новом руководстве по аудиту соответствия API.

12 мая 2021 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Это обновление охватывает следующие изменения API:

• Свойство ресурса channel contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.favorites устарело. Функциональность избранных видео устарела уже несколько лет назад, как отмечено в записи истории изменений от 28 апреля 2016 года .

  До этого обновления API по-прежнему создавал новый плейлист, если клиент API пытался добавить видео в несуществующий плейлист избранного. В дальнейшем в этом случае плейлист не будет создаваться, и API будет возвращать ошибку. Попытки изменить плейлисты избранного путём добавления, изменения или удаления элементов также устарели, согласно предыдущим объявлениям, и могут в любой момент начать возвращать ошибки.

• Следующие свойства ресурсов channel устарели. Эти свойства уже не поддерживаются в пользовательском интерфейсе YouTube Studio и на YouTube. В результате они также больше не поддерживаются через API.

  • brandingSettings.channel.defaultTab
  • brandingSettings.channel.featuredChannelsTitle
  • brandingSettings.channel.featuredChannelsUrls[]
  • brandingSettings.channel.profileColor
  • brandingSettings.channel.showBrowseView
  • brandingSettings.channel.showRelatedChannels

  Все свойства были удалены из представления ресурса channel , а их определения — из списка свойств ресурса. Кроме того, ошибки, связанные с этими свойствами, были удалены из документации по конкретным методам.

• Следующие свойства ресурса channelSection устарели. Эти свойства уже не поддерживаются в пользовательском интерфейсе YouTube Studio и на YouTube. В результате они также больше не поддерживаются через API.

  • snippet.style
  • snippet.defaultLanguage
  • snippet.localized.title
  • localizations
  • localizations.(key)
  • localizations.(key).title
  • targeting
  • targeting.languages[]
  • targeting.regions[]
  • targeting.countries[]

  В связи с этим изменением параметр hl метода channelSection.list также был объявлен устаревшим, поскольку поддерживаемые им функции больше не поддерживаются.

  Все свойства были удалены из представления ресурса channelSection , а их определения — из списка свойств ресурса. Кроме того, ошибки, связанные с этими свойствами, были удалены из документации по конкретным методам.

• Для свойства snippet.type ресурса channelSection следующие значения устарели. Эти значения уже не поддерживаются на страницах каналов YouTube и, как следствие, больше не поддерживаются через API.

  • likedPlaylists
  • likes
  • postedPlaylists
  • postedVideos
  • recentActivity
  • recentPosts

• Свойство snippet.tags[] ресурса playlist устарело. Это свойство уже не поддерживается на YouTube и, как следствие, больше не поддерживается через API.

9 февраля 2021 г.

Ресурс playlistItem поддерживает два новых свойства:

• Свойство snippet.videoOwnerChannelId определяет идентификатор канала, загрузившего видео плейлист.
• Свойство snippet.videoOwnerChannelTitle определяет название канала, загрузившего видео из плейлиста.

28 января 2021 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

• Методы playlistItems.delete , playlistItems.insert , playlistItems.list , playlistItems.update , playlists.delete , playlists.list и playlists.update поддерживают новую ошибку playlistOperationUnsupported . Эта ошибка возникает, когда запрос пытается выполнить операцию, недопустимую для конкретного плейлиста. Например, пользователь не может удалить видео из своего плейлиста с загруженными видео или удалить сам плейлист.

  Во всех случаях эта ошибка возвращает код ответа HTTP 400 (неверный запрос).

• Ошибки watchHistoryNotAccessible и watchLaterNotAccessible метода playlistItems.list удалены из документации. Хотя история просмотра и списки «Посмотреть позже» пользователей действительно недоступны через API, эти ошибки API не возвращает.

15 октября 2020 г.

В Политику разработчика добавлены два новых раздела:

• В новом разделе III.E.4.i представлена ​​дополнительная информация о данных, собираемых и отправляемых через встроенный проигрыватель YouTube. Вы несёте ответственность за любые пользовательские данные, которые вы отправляете нам через любой встроенный проигрыватель YouTube до того, как пользователь взаимодействует с проигрывателем для обозначения намерения воспроизведения. Вы можете ограничить объём данных, передаваемых YouTube до того, как пользователь взаимодействует с проигрывателем, установив для параметра «Автовоспроизведение» значение «false».
• Новый раздел III.E.4.j посвящен проверке статуса контента как предназначенного для детей (MFK) перед его встраиванием на ваши сайты и в приложения. Вы несете ответственность за определение того, предназначены ли видео, встраиваемые вами в ваш API-клиент, для детей, и за соответствующую обработку данных, собранных встроенным проигрывателем. В связи с этим вы обязаны проверять статус контента с помощью сервиса YouTube Data API перед его встраиванием в ваш API-клиент через любой встроенный проигрыватель YouTube.

В новом руководстве «Как узнать статус MadeForKids» для видео объясняется, как узнать статус MFK для видео с помощью службы API данных YouTube .

В связи с этими изменениями в документацию по параметрам встроенного проигрывателя было добавлено напоминание, поясняющее, что если включить функцию автовоспроизведения, воспроизведение будет происходить без какого-либо взаимодействия пользователя с проигрывателем; поэтому сбор и обмен данными о воспроизведении будут происходить при загрузке страницы.

8 октября 2020 г.

Это обновление охватывает три небольших изменения, связанных с ресурсом channel :

• Объект snippet.thumbnails , который идентифицирует миниатюрные изображения канала, может быть пустым для вновь созданных каналов, и его заполнение может занять до одного дня.
• Свойство statistics.videoCount отражает количество общедоступных видео на канале, даже для его владельцев. Это поведение соответствует данным, отображаемым на сайте YouTube.
• Ключевые слова канала, указанные в свойстве brandingSettings.channel.keywords , могут быть усечены, если их длина превышает максимально допустимые 500 символов или если они содержат неэкранированные кавычки ( " ). Обратите внимание, что ограничение в 500 символов не является ограничением на каждое ключевое слово, а ограничивает общую длину всех ключевых слов. Это поведение соответствует поведению на сайте YouTube.

9 сентября 2020 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Это обновление охватывает следующие изменения API. Все изменения вступят в силу 9 сентября 2020 года или позже, с даты данного объявления. В связи с этим разработчикам больше не следует полагаться на перечисленные ниже функции API.

• Следующие ресурсы API, методы, параметры и свойства ресурсов немедленно устарели и перестанут работать с даты этого объявления или после нее:
  • Следующие свойства ресурса channel :
    • Свойство statistics.commentCount
    • Объект brandingSettings.image и все его дочерние свойства
    • Список brandingSettings.hints и все его дочерние свойства
  • Параметр фильтра categoryId метода channels.list
  • Ресурс guideCategories и метод guideCategories.list
• Ответы API для метода channels.list больше не содержат свойство prevPageToken если запрос API устанавливает параметр managedByMe в true . Это изменение не влияет на свойство prevPageToken для других запросов channels.list и не влияет на свойство nextPageToken для любых запросов.
• Свойства ресурса channel contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchLater и contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchHistory были объявлены устаревшими 11 августа 2016 г. Поддержка этих плейлистов методами playlistItems.insert и playlistItems.delete также полностью устарела, и оба свойства были удалены из документации.
• Параметр mySubscribers метода channels.list , объявленный устаревшим 30 июля 2013 г. , был удалён из документации. Используйте метод subscriptions.list и его параметр mySubscribers для получения списка подписчиков канала аутентифицированного пользователя.
• Объект ресурса channel invideoPromotion и все его дочерние свойства, которые были объявлены устаревшими 27 ноября 2017 года , были удалены из документации.

29 июля 2020 г.

Мы упростили процесс начисления квоты на запросы API, убрав дополнительную стоимость, связанную с параметром part . С настоящего момента мы будем взимать только базовую стоимость вызываемого метода. Подробнее об упрощённой квоте можно узнать здесь .

В результате этого изменения стоимость квоты для большинства вызовов API будет немного ниже, в то время как для некоторых вызовов API она останется прежней. Это изменение не увеличивает стоимость вызовов API. В целом, вероятно, ваша выделенная квота, отображаемая в консоли Google Cloud , будет немного больше.

Мы настоятельно рекомендуем всем разработчикам пройти аудит соответствия своих проектов, чтобы обеспечить себе постоянный доступ к API-сервисам YouTube.

Эта запись истории изменений была первоначально опубликована 20 июля 2020 года.

28 июля 2020 г.

Все видео, загруженные через конечную точку videos.insert из непроверенных API-проектов, созданных после 28 июля 2020 года, будут ограничены режимом приватного просмотра. Для снятия этого ограничения каждый проект должен пройти аудит на соответствие Условиям обслуживания .

Авторы, использующие непроверенный API-клиент для загрузки видео, получат электронное письмо с объяснением того, что их видео заблокировано как приватное и что они могут обойти ограничение, используя официальный или проверенный клиент.

Проекты API, созданные до 28 июля 2020 года, в настоящее время не затронуты этим изменением. Тем не менее, мы настоятельно рекомендуем всем разработчикам пройти аудит соответствия для своих проектов, чтобы обеспечить себе постоянный доступ к API-сервисам YouTube.

21 июля 2020 г.

[Обновлено 28 июля 2020 г.] Обновление документации, упомянутое в этой записи истории изменений, было повторно опубликовано 28 июля 2020 г.

Вчера мы опубликовали обновление документации, касающееся процесса начисления квоты. Однако в связи с непредвиденными обстоятельствами изменение квоты ещё не вступило в силу. В связи с этим документация была отменена в целях обеспечения точности. Во избежание путаницы запись в истории изменений, поясняющая это изменение, была удалена и будет опубликована повторно в ближайшем будущем.

7 июля 2020 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

Параметры autoLevels stabilize метода videos.insert устарели, и оба параметра удалены из документации. Их значения игнорируются и не влияют на обработку новых загруженных видео.

15 июня 2020 г.

Новое руководство «Соблюдение политик YouTube для разработчиков» содержит рекомендации и примеры, которые помогут вам гарантировать, что ваши клиенты API соблюдают определенные разделы Условий и политик использования API YouTube (API TOS).

Это руководство даёт представление о том, как YouTube обеспечивает соблюдение определённых аспектов API TOS, но не заменяет какие-либо существующие документы. В руководстве рассматриваются некоторые из наиболее распространённых вопросов, которые разработчики задают во время аудитов соответствия API. Мы надеемся, что оно упростит процесс разработки функций, помогая вам понять, как мы интерпретируем и применяем наши политики.

4 июня 2020 г.

Примечание: это обновление предыдущего объявления об устаревании.

Функция бюллетеней канала полностью устарела. Это изменение было первоначально объявлено 17 апреля 2020 года и вступило в силу. В результате метод activities.insert больше не поддерживается, а метод activities.list больше не возвращает бюллетени канала. Подробнее см. в Справочном центре YouTube .

17 апреля 2020 г.

Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

YouTube прекращает поддержку функции новостных лент каналов. В результате метод activities.insert будет упразднён, а метод activities.list перестанет возвращать новостные ленты каналов. Эти изменения вступят в силу в API с 18 мая 2020 года. Подробнее см. в Справочном центре YouTube .

31 марта 2020 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

• Новые ресурсы и методы

  • Новый ресурс member представляет собой участника канала YouTube. Участник оказывает регулярную финансовую поддержку создателю и получает особые привилегии. Например, участники могут общаться в чате, когда создатель включает режим «Только для участников».

    Этот ресурс заменяет ресурс sponsor , который документирован как часть API прямых трансляций YouTube. Ресурс sponsor теперь устарел, и клиентам API следует обновить вызовы метода sponsors.list , чтобы вместо него использовать метод members.list .

  • Новый ресурс membershipsLevel определяет уровень цен, управляемый создателем, авторизовавшим запрос API. Метод membershipsLevels.list извлекает список всех уровней членства создателя.

10 января 2020 г.

API теперь поддерживает возможность определения детского контента, который YouTube называет «предназначенным для детей ». Подробнее о детском контенте можно узнать в Справочном центре YouTube.

channel и video поддерживают два новых свойства, позволяющих создателям и зрителям контента определять контент, предназначенный для детей:

• Свойство selfDeclaredMadeForKids позволяет создателям контента указывать, предназначен ли канал или видео для детей.
  
  Для каналов это свойство можно задать при вызове метода channels.update . Для видео это свойство можно задать при вызове метода videos.insert или videos.update .
  
  Обратите внимание, что это свойство включается только в ответы API, содержащие ресурсы channel или video если владелец канала авторизовал запрос API.
• Свойство madeForKids позволяет любому пользователю получить статус канала или видео «Создано для детей». Например, статус может быть определен на основе значения свойства selfDeclaredMadeForKids . Дополнительную информацию о настройке аудитории для вашего канала, видео или трансляций см. в Справочном центре YouTube .

Мы также обновили Условия обслуживания API сервисов YouTube и Правила для разработчиков. Подробнее см. в разделе «История изменений» в Условиях обслуживания API сервисов YouTube . Изменения в Условиях обслуживания API сервисов YouTube и Правилах для разработчиков вступят в силу 10 января 2020 года по тихоокеанскому времени.

10 сентября 2019 г.

Справочная документация API была обновлена ​​с учетом изменения способа предоставления данных о количестве подписчиков на YouTube и, следовательно, в ответах API. В результате этого изменения данные о количестве подписчиков, возвращаемые службой YouTube Data API, округляются до трех значащих цифр для случаев, когда количество подписчиков превышает 1000. Это изменение затрагивает свойство ресурса channel statistics.subscriberCount .

Примечание: это изменение влияет на значение этого свойства даже в тех случаях, когда пользователь отправляет авторизованный запрос на данные о своём канале. Владельцы каналов по-прежнему могут видеть точное количество подписчиков в YouTube Studio.

Например, если у канала 123 456 подписчиков, свойство statistics.subscriberCount будет содержать значение 123000 В таблице ниже показаны примеры округления количества подписчиков в ответах API и сокращения в других общедоступных пользовательских интерфейсах YouTube:

4 апреля 2019 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

• Справочная документация API была обновлена, чтобы лучше объяснить распространённые варианты использования каждого метода и предоставить динамические, высококачественные примеры кода через виджет «Обозреватель API». Пример см. в документации по методу channels.list . На страницах, описывающих методы API, теперь есть два новых элемента:

  • Виджет «Обозреватель API» позволяет выбирать области авторизации, вводить примеры значений параметров и свойств, а затем отправлять реальные запросы API и просматривать реальные ответы API. Виджет также предлагает полноэкранный режим просмотра полных примеров кода, которые динамически обновляются в соответствии с указанными вами областями и значениями.

  • В разделе « Распространённые варианты использования» описаны один или несколько распространённых вариантов использования метода, описанного на странице. Например, вы можете вызвать метод channels.list для получения данных о конкретном канале или для получения данных о канале текущего пользователя.

    Вы можете использовать ссылки в этом разделе, чтобы заполнить API Explorer примерами значений для вашего варианта использования или открыть полноэкранный API Explorer с уже заполненными значениями. Эти изменения направлены на то, чтобы вам было проще просматривать примеры кода, непосредственно применимые к варианту использования, который вы пытаетесь реализовать в своём приложении.

  В настоящее время поддерживаются примеры кода для Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python и curl.

• Инструмент для работы с примерами кода также обновлён и получил новый пользовательский интерфейс, предлагающий все описанные выше функции. С помощью этого инструмента вы можете изучать варианты использования различных методов, загружать значения в API Explorer и открывать API Explorer в полноэкранном режиме для просмотра примеров кода на Java, JavaScript, PHP и Python.

  В связи с этим изменением были удалены страницы, на которых ранее перечислялись доступные примеры кода для Java, JavaScript, PHP и Python.

• Обновлены руководства по быстрому старту для Java , JavaScript , PHP и Python . В них объясняется, как запустить один пример с ключом API, а другой — с идентификатором клиента OAuth 2.0, используя примеры кода из обозревателя API.

Обратите внимание, что описанные выше изменения заменяют интерактивный инструмент, добавленный в документацию API в 2017 году.

9 июля 2018 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

• Определение свойства snippet.thumbnails ресурса channel обновлено с учетом того, что при отображении миниатюр в вашем приложении ваш код должен использовать URL-адреса изображений в точности так, как они возвращаются в ответах API. Например, ваше приложение не должно использовать домен http вместо домена https в URL-адресе, возвращаемом в ответе API.

  С июля 2018 года URL-адреса миниатюр каналов будут доступны только в домене https , который соответствует URL-адресам в ответах API. После этого вы можете столкнуться с некорректной работой изображений в вашем приложении при попытке загрузить изображения YouTube с домена http .

• Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

  Свойство video recordingDetails.location.altitude устарело. Нет гарантии, что видео вернут значения для этого свойства. Аналогично, даже если запросы API попытаются установить значение для этого свойства, входящие данные могут не быть сохранены.

22 июня 2018 г.

Руководство по внедрению , ранее известное как «Руководство по внедрению и миграции», обновлено: из него удалены инструкции по переходу с API версии 2 на API версии 3. Кроме того, из него удалены инструкции по функциям, которые были устарели в API версии 3, например, избранным видео.

27 ноября 2017 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

• Примечание: это объявление о прекращении поддержки.

  YouTube прекращает поддержку функций «Избранное видео» и «Избранный веб-сайт» , которые поддерживаются в API через объект invideoPromotion ресурса channel . В результате этот объект, включая все его дочерние свойства, становится устаревшим.

  Вы по-прежнему сможете извлекать и настраивать данные invideoPromotion до 14 декабря 2017 г. После этой даты:

  • Попытки извлечь часть invideoPromotion при вызове channels.list вернут пустой invideoPromotion или вообще не вернут никаких данных invideoPromotion .
  • Попытки обновить данные invideoPromotion при вызове channels.update будут возвращать успешный ответ по крайней мере до 27 мая 2018 года, но они будут рассматриваться как пустые операции, то есть фактически они не будут выполнять обновление.

  После 27 мая 2018 года эти запросы могут возвращать сообщения об ошибках, указывающие, например, на то, что invalidPromotion является недопустимой частью.

16 ноября 2017 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

• Интерактивный инструмент для работы с фрагментами кода теперь поддерживает примеры кода Node.js. Эти примеры также доступны в документации практически для всех методов API, например, для метода channels.list .

  Настраиваемые примеры предназначены для того, чтобы предоставить вам отправную точку для конкретного сценария использования приложения Node.js. Функциональность аналогична коду из руководства по быстрому старту Node.js. Однако примеры содержат некоторые вспомогательные функции, которых нет в руководстве по быстрому старту:

  • Функция removeEmptyParameters принимает список пар «ключ-значение», соответствующих параметрам запроса API, и удаляет параметры, не имеющие значений.
  • Функция createResource принимает список пар «ключ-значение», соответствующих свойствам в ресурсе API. Затем она преобразует свойства в JSON-объект, который можно использовать в операциях insert и update . В примере ниже показан набор имён и значений свойств, а также JSON-объект, который код создаст для них:

    # Key-value pairs:
    {'id': 'ABC123',
     'snippet.title': 'Resource title',
     'snippet.description': 'Resource description',
     'status.privacyStatus': 'private'}
    
    # JSON object:
    {
     'id': 'ABC123',

29 августа 2017 г.

Это обновление содержит следующие изменения:

• The definition of the search.list method's forContentOwner parameter has been updated to note that if that parameter is set to true , the type parameter must be set to video .
• The definition of the search.list method's regionCode parameter has been updated to clarify that the parameter restricts search results to videos that can be viewed in the specified region.
• YouTube has updated its branding logos and icons. New "developed with YouTube" logos can be downloaded from the branding guidelines page. Other new YouTube logos and icons are also shown on that page and can be downloaded from the YouTube brand site .

24 июля 2017 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• A new YouTube Data API quickstart guide is available for iOS . The guide explains how to use the YouTube Data API in a simple iOS application written in either Objective-C or Swift.
• The interactive code snippet tool for the YouTube Data API now includes documentation explaining some of the tool's features:
  • Executing API requests
  • Toggling between code snippets and full code samples
  • Using boilerplate functions
  • Loading existing resources (for update methods)

  Note: The tool is also embedded in API reference documentation for API methods ( example ).

1 июня 2017 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Note: This is a deprecation announcement.

  The following video resource properties are being deprecated. While the properties will be supported until December 1, 2017, there is no guarantee that videos will continue to return values for those properties until that time. Similarly, videos.insert and videos.update requests that set those property values will not generate errors before that date, but it is possible that the incoming data will not be stored.

  • recordingDetails.locationDescription
  • recordingDetails.location.latitude
  • recordingDetails.location.longitude

17 мая 2017 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The API reference documentation has been updated to make code snippets more ubiquitous and interactive. Pages that explain API methods, like channels.list or videos.rate , now feature an interactive tool that lets you view and customize code snippets in Java, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, Apps Script, and Go.

  For any given method, the tool shows code snippets for one or more use cases, and each use case describes a common way of calling that method. For example, you can call the channels.list method to retrieve data about a specific channel or about the current user's channel.

  You can also interact with code samples:

  • Modify parameter and property values, and the code snippets dynamically update to reflect the values you provide.

  • Toggle between code snippets and full samples. A code snippet shows the portion of the code that calls the API method. A full sample contains that snippet as well as boilerplate code for authorizing and sending requests. Full samples can be copied and run from the command line or a local web server.

  • Execute requests by clicking a button. (To execute requests, you need to authorize the tool to call the API on your behalf.)

  Note that this tool has replaced the APIs Explorer on the pages where it is available. (Each page displays a link so that you also have the option of loading the request you are working on in the APIs Explorer.)

• The Data API Code Snippets tool has also been updated with a new UI that offers all of the same features described above. The major new features available on this page are:

  • Support for API requests that write data.
  • Support for Java samples.
  • More flexible and comprehensive boilerplate code for authorizing users and building API requests.

27 апреля 2017 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• New quickstart guides explain how to set up a simple application that makes YouTube Data API requests. Guides are currently available for Android , Apps Script , Go , Java , JavaScript , Node.js , PHP , Python , and Ruby .

30 марта 2017 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channel resource's new topicDetails.topicCategories[] property contains a list of Wikipedia URLs that describe the channel's content. The URLs correspond to the topic IDs returned in the resource's topicDetails.topicIds[] property.
• The playlistItem resource's new contentDetails.videoPublishedAt property identifies the time that the video was published to YouTube. The resource already contains the snippet.publishedAt property, which identifies the time that the item was added to the playlist.
• Like the channel resource, the video resource now returns the topicDetails.topicCategories[] property, which contains a list of Wikipedia URLs that describe the video's content. For video resources, the URLs correspond to the topic IDs returned in the resource's topicDetails.relevantTopicIds[] property.
• The video resource's new contentDetails.contentRating.mpaatRating property identifies the rating that the Motion Picture Association of America gave to a movie trailer or preview.

27 февраля 2017 г.

As originally announced on August 11, 2016 , YouTube has switched the supported list of topic IDs to a curated list. The complete list of supported topic IDs is included in the topicDetails properties for channel and video resources as well as in the search.list method's topicId parameter.

Note that there are several changes to the curated list:

• The following topics have been added as subtopics of Society :

  Имя	topic ID
  Бизнес	/m/09s1f
  Здоровье	/m/0kt51
  Военный	/m/01h6rj
  Политика	/m/05qt0
  Религия	/m/06bvp

• The Animated cartoon topic, previously a child of Entertainment , has been removed.
• The Children's music topic, previously a child of Music , has been removed.

As a result of this change, topics related to a video are now always returned in the video resource's topicDetails.relevantTopicIds[] property value.

29 ноября 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• There are three small changes to the list of topic IDs that will be supported as of February 10, 2017:

  • The Professional wrestling category, which was previously a child of the Sports category, is now a child of Entertainment .
  • The TV shows category, which is a child of Entertainment , is new.
  • The Health category, previously a child of Lifestyle , has been removed.

  Also note that there are a few parent categories ( Entertainment , Gaming , Lifestyle , Music , and Sports ). Any video that is associated with a child category, like Tennis , will also be associated with the parent category ( Sports ).

10 ноября 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• As first announced on August 11, 2016 , the deprecation of Freebase and the Freebase API requires several changes related to topic IDs. Topic IDs identify topics associated with channel and video resources, and you can also use the topicId search parameter to find channels or videos related to a particular topic.

  On February 10, 2017, YouTube will start returning a small set of topic IDs instead of the much more granular set of IDs returned thus far. In addition, note that channels and videos are not guaranteed to be associated with any topics, which is consistent with current API behavior.

  So that you can prepare your API Clients for those changes, the definitions of the following API parameters and properties have been updated to list the topic IDs that will be supported after that time. Note that the list of categories is the same for all of the properties.

  • The channel resource's topicDetails.topicIds[] property.
  • The video resource's topicDetails.relevantTopicIds[] property.
  • The search.list method's topicId parameter.

• Note: This is a deprecation announcement.

  The following properties are being deprecated:

  • The channel resource's topicDetails.topicIds[] property. This property will be supported until November 10, 2017.
  • The video resource's topicDetails.relevantTopicIds[] property. This property will be supported until November 10, 2017.
  • The video resource's topicDetails.topicIds[] property. This property will not contain values after February 10, 2017. (After that date, the topicDetails.relevantTopicIds[] property value will identify all of the topics associated with a video.)

• Since Freebase has already been deprecated, the Searching with Freebase Topics guide has been removed from the documentation. That guide provided code samples to show how an application would work with the Freebase API.

  In addition, several code samples related to topic IDs have been removed from the search.list method's documentation.

2 ноября 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• New properties and parameters

  • The video resource contains several new properties:

    • The player.embedHtml property contains an <iframe> tag that you can use to embed a player that plays the video. The new player.embedHeight and player.embedWidth properties identify the dimensions of the embedded player. These properties are only returned if the API request specifies a value for at least one of the maxHeight or maxWidth parameters. Those two new parameters are explained later in this revision history entry.

    • The new hasCustomThumbnail property indicates whether the video uploader has provided a custom thumbnail image for the video. Note that this property is only visible to the video uploader.

    • The new fpbRatingReasons[] identifies reasons that the video received its FPB (South Africa) rating.

    • The new mcstRating identifies the rating that the video received in Vietnam.

  • The videos.list method supports two new parameters, maxHeight and maxWidth . You can use either parameter or both parameters when retrieving the player part in video resources.

    By default, the height of the <iframe> returned in the player.embedHtml property is 360px. The width adjusts to match the video's aspect ratio, thereby ensuring that the embedded player does not have black bars framing the video. So, for example, if a video's aspect ratio is 16:9, the player's width would be 640px.

    With the new parameters, you can specify that instead of the default dimensions, the embed code should use a height and/or width appropriate for your application layout. The API server scales the player dimensions as appropriate to ensure that the embedded player does not have black bars framing the video. Note that both parameters specify the maximum dimensions of the embedded player. Thus, if both parameters are specified, one dimension might still be smaller than the maximum amount allowed for that dimension.

    For example, suppose a video has a 16:9 aspect ratio. Thus, the player.embedHtml tag would contain a 640x360 player if the maxHeight or maxWidth parameter is not set.

    • If the maxHeight parameter is set to 720 , and the maxWidth parameter is not set, the API would return a 1280x720 player.
    • If the maxWidth parameter is set to 960 , and the maxHeight parameter is not set, the API would return a 960x540 player.
    • If the maxWidth parameter is set to 960 , and the maxHeight parameter is set to 450 , the API would return an 800x450 player.

    The new player.embedHeight and player.embedWidth properties, which are described above, identify the player's dimensions.

• Updates to existing methods, properties and parameters

  • The channelSection resource description has been updated to note that a channel can create a maximum of 10 shelves without setting targeting data and can create a maximum of 100 shelves with targeting data.

    In addition, the channelSection resource's targeting property has been updated to reflect the fact that targeting options can only be set using the API. Targeting options are deleted if the channel section is modified using the user interface on the YouTube website.

  • The definition of the i18nLanguage resource's snippet.name property has been corrected to reflect that the value represents a language's name as it is written in the language specified by the i18nLanguage.list method's hl parameter.

  • The playlistItem resource's contentDetails.note property has been updated to note that the property value's maximum length is 280 characters.

  • The playlistItem resource's contentDetails.startAt and contentDetails.endAt properties have been deprecated. These fields are ignored if they are set in playlistItems.insert or playlistItems.update requests.

  • The playlistItems.delete and playlistItems.update methods now support the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, which is already supported for several other methods. Requests that use that method also need to be authorized with a token that provides access to the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner scope.

  • The search.list method's publishedBefore and publishedAfter parameters have both been updated to indicate that the parameter values are inclusive. So, for example, if the publishedBefore parameter is set, the API returns resources created before or at the specified time.

  • The video resource's contentDetails.contentRating.grfilmRating property supports three additional values: grfilmK12 , grfilmK15 , and grfilmK18 .

  • The videos.insert method description has been updated to note that the maximum file size for uploaded videos has increased from 64GB to 128GB.

• New and updated errors

  • The API supports the following new errors:

    Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
    forbidden (403)	homeParameterDeprecated	The activities.list method returns this error to indicate that the user's home page activity data is not available through this API. This error might occur if you set the home parameter to true in an unauthorized request.
    invalidValue (400)	invalidContentDetails	The playlistItems.insert method returns this error to indicate that the contentDetails object in the request is invalid. One reason that this error occurs is that the contentDetails.note field is longer than 280 characters.
    forbidden (403)	watchHistoryNotAccessible	The playlistItems.list method returns this error to indicate that the request tried to retrieve "watch history" playlist items, but those cannot be retrieved using the API.
    forbidden (403)	watchLaterNotAccessible	The playlistItems.list method returns this error to indicate that the request tried to retrieve "watch later" playlist items, but those cannot be retrieved using the API.
    badRequest (400)	uploadLimitExceeded	The videos.insert method returns this error to indicate that the channel has exceeded the number of videos that it may upload.
    forbidden (403)	forbiddenEmbedSetting	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the API request attempts to set an invalid embed setting for the video. Note that some channels may not have permission to offer embedded players for live streams. See the YouTube Help Center for more information.

  • The playlistItems.insert method no longer returns an error if you insert a duplicate video into a playlist. That error previously occurred for some playlists, like favorite videos, that did not allow duplicates but are no longer supported. In general, playlists do allow duplicate videos.

• Другие обновления

  • The revision history entry for September 15, 2016, has been updated to clarify that, whenever the channel resource's contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchHistory and contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchLater properties are included in a response, they always contain the values HL and WL , respectively. Moreover, those properties are only included if an authorized user is retrieving data about the user's own channel.

15 сентября 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The August 11, 2016, revision history update discussed several changes related to topic IDs, including the fact that the set of supported topic IDs will change as of February 10, 2017. The list of topics that will be supported will be published by November 10, 2016.

• The following changes are now in effect. Notice of these changes was given in the revision history update on August 11, 2016:

  • If the activities.list method is called with the home parameter set to true , the API response now contains items similar to what a logged-out YouTube user would see on the home page.

    This is a slight change that is intended to provide a better user experience than the behavior described in the revision history update on August 11, 2016. That update had stated that requests using the home parameter would return an empty list.

  • The channel resource's contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchHistory and contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchLater properties now contain values of HL and WL , respectively, for all channels.

    To be clear, these properties are only visible to an authorized user retrieving data about the user's own channel. The properties always contain the values HL and WL , even for an authorized user retrieving data about the user's own channel. Thus, the watch history and watch later playlist IDs cannot be retrieved via the API.

    In addition, requests to retrieve playlist details ( playlists.list ) or playlist items ( playlistItems.list ) for a channel's watch history or watch later playlist now return empty lists. This behavior is true for the new values, HL and WL , as well as for any watch history or watch later playlist IDs that your API Client may have already stored.

• The video resource's fileDetails.recordingLocation object and its child properties are no longer returned. Previously, this data (like the parent fileDetails object) could only be retrieved by a video's owner.

11 августа 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The newly published YouTube API Services Terms of Service ("the Updated Terms"), discussed in detail on the YouTube Engineering and Developers Blog , provides a rich set of updates to the current Terms of Service. In addition to the Updated Terms , which will go into effect as of February 10, 2017, this update includes several supporting documents to help explain the policies that developers must follow.

  The full set of new documents is described in the revision history for the Updated Terms . In addition, future changes to the Updated Terms or to those supporting documents will also be explained in that revision history. You can subscribe to an RSS feed listing changes in that revision history from a link in that document.

• The deprecation of Freebase and the Freebase API is causing several changes related to topic IDs. Topic IDs are used in the following API resources and methods:

  • The channel resource's topicDetails part identifies topics associated with the channel.
  • The video resource's topicDetails part identifies topics associated with the video.
  • The search.list method's topicId parameter lets you search for videos or channels related to a particular topic.

  The changes to these features are:

  • As of February 10, 2017, YouTube will start returning a small set of topic IDs instead of the much more granular set of IDs returned thus far. That set of supported topics will identify high-level categorizations like Sports or Basketball , but, for example, they will not identify specific teams or players. We will be announcing the set of supported topics so that you have time to prepare your application for this change.

  • Any Freebase topic IDs that you have already retrieved can be used to search for content until February 10, 2017. However, after that time, you will be able to use only the smaller set of topics identified in the previous item to retrieve search results by topic.

  • After February 10, 2017, if you try to search for results using a topic ID that is not in the smaller set of supported topic IDs, the API will return an empty result set.

• Several API fields and parameters are being deprecated effective September 12, 2016:

  • The activities.list method's home parameter enabled an authorized user to retrieve the activity feed that would display on the YouTube home page for that user. Requests that use this parameter after September 12, 2016, will return an empty list.

  • The channel resource's contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchHistory and contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchLater properties are only visible to an authorized user retrieving data about the user's own channel. After September 12, 2016, the contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchHistory will return a value of HL and the contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchLater property will return a value of WL for all channels.

    Requests to retrieve playlist details ( playlists.list ) for a channel's watch history or watch later playlist will return an empty list after September 12, 2016. Requests to retrieve playlist items ( playlistItems.list ) in either of those playlists will also return an empty list after that time. This is true for the new values, HL and WL , as well as for any watch history or watch later playlist IDs that your API Client may have already stored.

  • The video resource's fileDetails.recordingLocation object or any of its child properties will no longer be returned after September 12, 2016. This data can only be retrieved by a video's owner since the parent fileDetails object can only be retrieved by a video owner.

13 июня 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channel resource's contentDetails.googlePlusUserId property has been deprecated. Previously, the property was only present if the channel was associated with a Google+ profile. Following the deprecation, the property will no longer be included in any channel resources.

• The comment resource's snippet.authorGoogleplusProfileUrl property has been deprecated. Previously, the property was only present if the channel was associated with a Google+ profile. Following the deprecation, the property will no longer be included in any comment resources.

Since neither of these properties will be returned following the deprecation, both properties have been removed from the corresponding resource documentation.

31 мая 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The subscriptions.list method's new myRecentSubscribers parameter retrieves a list of the subscribers of the authenticated user's channel in reverse chronological order of the time that they subscribed to the channel.

  Note that the new parameter only supports retrieval of the most recent 1000 subscribers to the authenticated user's channel. To retrieve a complete list of subscribers, use the mySubscribers parameter. That parameter, which does not return subscribers in a particular order, does not limit the number of subscribers that can be retrieved.

• The definition of the snippet.thumbnails.(key) property has been updated for the activity , playlistItem , playlist , search result , thumbnail , and video resources to note that additional thumbnail image sizes are available for some videos.

  • The standard image is 640px wide and 480px tall.
  • The maxres image is 1280px wide and 720px tall.

• The definition of the channelSection.list method's part parameter has been updated to note that the targeting part can be retrieved at a cost of 2 quota units.

• The videos.list method now returns a forbidden ( 403 ) error when an improperly authorized request tries to retrieve the fileDetails , processingDetails , or suggestions parts of a video resource. Those parts are only available to the video's owner.

17 мая 2016 г.

The new Data API Code Snippets tool provides short code snippets for common YouTube Data API use cases. Code snippets are currently available for all read-only API methods in Apps Script, Go, JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Ruby.

For each method, the tool shows code samples for one or more use cases. For example, it provides five code snippets for the search.list method:

• List videos by keyword
• List videos by location
• List live events
• Search for the authenticated user's videos
• List related videos

For each use case, the tool displays the parameters used in the API request. You can modify the parameter values, in which case the tool updates the code snippets to reflect the parameter values that you provided.

Finally, the tool displays the API response to each request. If you have modified the request parameters, the API response is based on your provided parameter values. Note that you need to authorize the tool to submit requests on your behalf for API responses to display.

28 апреля 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The video resource's new contentDetails.projection property specifies the video's projection format. Valid property values are 360 and rectangular .

• The video resource's recordingDetails.location and fileDetails.recordingLocation properties have both been updated to explain the difference between the two properties:

  • The recordingDetails.location property identifies the location that the video owner wants to associate with the video. This location is editable, searchable on public videos, and might be displayed to users for public videos.
  • The fileDetails.recordingLocation property value is immutable and represents the location associated with the original, uploaded video file. The value is only visible to the video owner.

• The definition of the channel resource's contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.favorites property has been updated to note that the property value might contain a playlist ID that refers to an empty playlist and that cannot be fetched. This is due to the fact that favorite videos functionality has already been deprecated. Note that this property is not subject to the API deprecation policy .

• The definition of the ineligibleAccount error, which can be returned by the comments.insert , comments.update , commentThreads.insert , or commentThreads.update method, has been updated to reflect that the error occurs when the YouTube account used to authorize the API request has not been merged with the user's Google account.

20 апреля 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The definition of the channels.update method's part parameter has been updated to note that localizations is also a valid value for that parameter.

• The Quota Usage section of the Getting Started guide has been updated to link to the Google Developer's Console, where you can see your actual quota and quota usage.

16 марта 2016 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Updates to existing resources and methods

  • The channelBanner resource documentation has been updated to note that the recommended size for the uploaded channel banner image is 2560px by 1440px. The minimum size (2048px by 1152px) has not changed.

  • The channel resource's new snippet.customUrl property identifies the custom URL associated with the channel. (Not all channels have custom URLs.) The YouTube Help Center explains eligibility requirements for getting a custom URL as well as how to set up the URL.

  • The channel resource's brandingSettings.watch object and all of its child properties have been deprecated.

  • The API response to a search.list request now contains a regionCode property. The property identifies the region code that was used for the search query. The region code instructs the API to return search results for the specified country.

    The property value is a two-letter ISO country code that identifies the region. The i18nRegions.list method returns a list of supported regions. The default value is US . If a non-supported region is specified, YouTube might still select another region, rather than the default value, to handle the query.

  • The definitions of the videoAbuseReportReason resource's snippet.label and snippet.secondaryReasons[].label properties have been updated to note that the properties contain localized label text for the abuse report reasons.

    In addition, the videoAbuseReportReasons.list method now supports the hl parameter, which specifies the language that should be used for label text in the API response. The default parameter value is en_US .

  • The video resource's new contentDetails.contentRating.ecbmctRating property identifies a video's rating from Turkey's Evaluation and Classification Board of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

    In addition, API properties for other rating systems support the following new property values:

    • contentDetails.contentRating.fpbRating (South Africa)
      Rating: 10; property value: fpb10
    • contentDetails.contentRating.moctwRating (Taiwan)
      Rating: R-12; property value: moctwR12
    • contentDetails.contentRating.moctwRating (Taiwan)
      Rating: R-15; property value: moctwR15

  • The video resource's liveStreamingDetails.activeLiveChatId property contains the ID of the active live chat associated with the video. The property value is only present if the video is a current live broadcast that has live chat enabled. After the broadcast ends and the live chat concludes, the property is no longer returned for the video.

  • The video resource's status.rejectionReason property supports the new property value legal .

• The API supports the following new errors:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  badRequest (400)	notEditable	The channelSections.insert , channelSections.update , and channelSections.delete methods return this error to indicate that the specified channel section cannot be created, updated, or deleted.
  badRequest (400)	styleRequired	The channelSections.insert and channelSections.update methods return this error to indicate that the channelSection resource submitted in the API request must specify a value for the snippet.style property.
  badRequest (400)	typeRequired	The channelSections.insert and channelSections.update methods return this error to indicate that the channelSection resource submitted in the API request must specify a value for the snippet.type property.
  badRequest (400)	processingFailure	The commentThreads.list method returns this error to indicate that the API server failed to successfully process the request. While this can be a transient error, it usually indicates that the request's input is invalid. Check the structure of the commentThread resource in the request body to ensure that it is valid.
  forbidden (403)	commentsDisabled	The commentThreads.list method returns this error to indicate that the video identified by the videoId parameter has disabled comments.
  badRequest (400)	commentTextTooLong	The commentThreads.insert method returns this error to indicate that the comment resource that is being inserted contains too many characters in the snippet.topLevelComment.snippet.textOriginal property.
  invalidValue (400)	videoAlreadyInAnotherSeriesPlaylist	The playlistItems.insert method returns this error to indicate that the video that you are trying to add to the playlist is already in another series playlist. See the YouTube Help Center for more information about series playlists.
  badRequest (400)	subscriptionForbidden	The subscriptions.insert method returns this error to indicate that you have reached your maximum number of subscriptions or that you have created too many recent subscriptions. In the latter case, you can retry the request after a few hours.
  badRequest (400)	invalidCategoryId	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the snippet.categoryId property in the uploaded video resource specified an invalid category ID. Use the videoCategories.list method to retrieve supported categories.
  badRequest (400)	invalidDescription	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the snippet.description property in the uploaded video resource specified an invalid value.
  badRequest (400)	invalidPublishAt	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the status.publishAt property in the uploaded video resource specified an invalid scheduled publishing time.
  badRequest (400)	invalidRecordingDetails	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the recordingDetails object in the uploaded video resource specified invalid recording details.
  badRequest (400)	invalidTags	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the snippet.tags property in the uploaded video resource specified an invalid value.
  badRequest (400)	invalidTitle	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the snippet.title property in the uploaded video resource specified an invalid or empty video title.
  badRequest (400)	invalidVideoMetadata	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the request metadata is invalid. This error occurs if the request updates the snippet part of a video resource but does not set a value for both the snippet.title and snippet.categoryId properties.

The API now supports the ability to set and retrieve localized text for the snippet.title and snippet.description properties of the playlist and video resources, the snippet.title property of the channelSection resource, and the snippet.description property of the channel resource.

• Setting localized titles and descriptions

  You can set localized values for a resource when calling the insert or update method for that resource. To set localized values for a resource, do both of the following:

  • Ensure that a value is set for the resource's snippet.defaultLanguage property. That property identifies the language of the resource's snippet.title and snippet.description properties. Its value can be any supported application language or most other ISO 639-1:2002 language codes. For example, if you upload a video that has an English title and description, you would set the snippet.defaultLanguage property to en .

    Note for updating channel resources: To set the snippet.defaultLanguage property for a channel resource, you actually need to update the brandingSettings.channel.defaultLanguage property.

  • Add the localizations object to the resource you are updating. Each object key is a string that identifies an application language or ISO 639-1:2002 language code, and each key maps to an object that contains the localized title (and description) for the resource.

    The sample snippet below sets the resource's default language to English. It also adds localized German and Spanish titles and descriptions to a video:

    {
      "kind": "youtube#video",
      ...
      "snippet": {
        "title": "Playing soccer",
        "description": "We play soccer in the park on Sundays.",
        "defaultLanguage": "en",
        ...
      },
      "localizations":
        "de": {
          "title": "Fußball spielen",
          "description": "Wir spielen Fußball im Park am Sonntag"
        },
        "es": {
          "title": "Jugar al fútbol",
          "description": "Nosotros jugamos fútbol en el parque los domingos",
        }
      }
    }

  Important: Remember that when you update the localized data for a resource, your API request must include all of the existing localized versions of the data. For example, if you sent a subsequent request to add Portuguese data to the video in the example above, the request would need to include the localized data for German, Spanish, and Portuguese.

• Retrieving localized values

  The API supports two ways to retrieve localized values for a resource:

  • Add the hl parameter to your channels.list , channelSections.list , playlists.list , or videos.list request to retrieve localized data for a specific application language that the YouTube website supports . If localized resource details are available in that language, the resource's snippet.localized object will contain the localized values. However, if localized details are not available, the snippet.localized object will contain resource details in the resource's default language .

    For example, suppose a videos.list request retrieved data for the video described above with localized German and Spanish data. If the hl parameter were set to de , the resource would contain the following data:

    {
      "kind": "youtube#video",
      ...
      "snippet": {
        "title": "Playing soccer",
        "description": "We play soccer in the park on Sundays.",
        "defaultLanguage": "en",
        "localized": {
          "title": "Fußball spielen",
          "description": "Wir spielen Fußball im Park am Sonntag"
        }
        ...
      }
    }

    However, if the hl parameter were set to fr , the snippet.localized object would contain the English title and description because English is the default language for the resource, and localized French details are not available.

    Important: The hl parameter only supports values that identify application languages that the YouTube website supports. To determine whether localized text is available for other languages, you need to retrieve the localizations part for the resource and filter to determine whether the localized text exists.
    
    For example, you would need to retrieve the full list of localizations to determine whether localized text is available in Appalachian English.
    
    

  • When retrieving a resource, include localizations in the part parameter value to retrieve all of the localized details for that resource. If you are retrieving localized data for a language that is not a current YouTube application language , you need to use this approach to retrieve all localizations and then filter to determine whether the desired localized data exists.

• Errors related to localized text values

  The API also supports the following new errors for localized text values:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  badRequest (400)	defaultLanguageNotSetError	This error indicates that a request that tries to insert or update the localizations object for a resource is failing because the snippet.defaultLanguage property is not set for that resource. The channels.update , channelSections.insert , channelSections.update , playlists.insert , playlists.update , videos.insert , and videos.update methods support this error.
  badRequest (400)	localizationValidationError	This error indicates that one of the values in a resource's localizations object failed to validate. For example, this error might occur if the object contains an invalid language code. The channels.update , channelSections.insert , channelSections.update , playlists.insert , and playlists.update methods support this error.

4 ноября 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Updates to existing resources and methods

  • The search.list method's order parameter has been updated to note that if you sort live broadcasts by viewCount , the API results are sorted by the broadcasts' number of concurrent viewers while the broadcasts are still ongoing.

  • The search.list method's relatedToVideoId parameter has been updated to note that if the parameter is set, the only other supported parameters are part , maxResults , pageToken , regionCode , relevanceLanguage , safeSearch , type (which must be set to video ), and fields . This update does not reflect a change in API behavior.

  • The definition of the video resource's snippet.publishedAt property has been updated to note that the property value, which specifies the date and time that the video was published, might be different than the time that the video was uploaded. For example, if a video is uploaded as a private video and then made public at a later time, the property value specifies the time that the video was made public. The updated definition also explains how the value is populated for private and unlisted videos.

    This change does not reflect a change in API behavior.

  • The definition of the video resource's status.publishAt property has been updated to note:

    • If you set this property's value when calling the videos.update method, you must also set the status.privacyStatus property value to private even if the video is already private.
    • If the request schedules a video to be published at some time in the past, it is published right away. As such, the effect of setting the status.publishAt property to a past date and time is the same as of changing the video's privacyStatus from private to public .

  • The video resource's contentDetails.contentRating.cncRating property specifies the video's rating from France's Commission de classification cinematographique. This property replaces the contentDetails.contentRating.fmocRating property, which is now deprecated.

  • The definition of the channel resource's brandingSettings.channel.keywords has been updated to correctly reflect that the property value contains a space-separated list of strings and not a comma-separated list, as previously documented. This update does not reflect a change in API behavior.

  • The documentation for the thumbnails.set method has been updated to accurately reflect that the body of the request contains the thumbnail image that you are uploading and associating with a video. The request body does not contain a thumbnail resource. Previously, the documentation said that you should not provide a request body when calling this method. This update does not reflect a change in API behavior.

  • The description of the activity resource has been updated to reflect the fact that the activities.list method does not currently include resources related to new video comments. The resource's snippet.type and contentDetails.comment have been updated as well.

• New and updated errors

  • The API now supports the following errors:

    Подробности ошибки
    activities.insert	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина invalidMetadata Описание The kind property does not match the type of ID provided.
    commentThreads.update comments.insert comments.update	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина commentTextTooLong Описание The comment resource that is being inserted or updated contains too many characters in the snippet.topLevelComment.snippet.textOriginal property.
    playlistItems.insert playlistItems.update	HTTP-код ответа forbidden (403) Причина playlistItemsNotAccessible Описание The request is not properly authorized to insert, update, or delete the specified playlist item.
    playlists.delete playlists.insert playlists.update	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина playlistForbidden Описание This operation is forbidden or the request is not properly authorized.
    search.list	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина invalidLocation Описание The location and/or locationRadius parameter value was formatted incorrectly.
    search.list	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина invalidRelevanceLanguage Описание The relevanceLanguage parameter value was formatted incorrectly.
    subscriptions.insert	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина subscriptionForbidden Описание This error occurs when any of the following are true: The subscription that you are trying to create already exists You have already reached your maximum number of subscriptions You are trying to subscribe to your own channel, which is not supported. You have created too many subscriptions recently and need to wait a few hours before retrying the request.
    videos.update	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина invalidDefaultBroadcastPrivacySetting Описание The request attempts to set an invalid privacy setting for the default broadcast.

28 августа 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Updates to existing resources and methods

  • The video resource's statistics.favoriteCount property has been deprecated.

    In accordance with our deprecation policy, this property will continue to be included in video resources for at least one year after this announcement. However, the property value is now always set to 0 .

7 августа 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Updates to existing resources and methods

  • The definition of the video resource's snippet.tags[] property has been updated to provide more information about how the API server calculates the length of the property's value. Note that this update does not reflect a change in the API's behavior.

    Specifically, the definition now explains that if a tag contains a space, the API server handles the tag value as though it were wrapped in quotation marks, and the quotation marks count toward the character limit. So, for the purposes of character limits, the tag Foo-Baz contains seven characters, but the tag Foo Baz contains nine characters.

  • The commentThreads.insert method no longer supports the shareOnGooglePlus parameter, which previously indicated whether a comment and replies to that comment should also be posted to the author's Google+ profile. If a request submits the parameter, the API server ignores the parameter but otherwise handles the request.

18 июня 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Updates to existing resources and methods

  • The commentThreads.list method's new order parameter specifies the order in which the API response should list comment threads. Threads can be ordered by time or relevance. The default behavior is to order them by time.

  • The video resource's new snippet.defaultAudioLanguage property specifies the language spoken in the video's default audio track.

  • The definition of the video resource's contentDetails.licensedContent property has been updated to clarify that the content must have been originally uploaded to a channel linked to a YouTube content partner and then claimed by that partner. This does not represent a change in actual API behavior.

  • The captions.delete , captions.download , captions.insert , captions.list , and captions.update methods now support the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, which is already supported for several other methods. Requests that use that method also need to be authorized with a token that provides access to the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner scope.

• New and updated errors

  • The API now supports the following errors:

    Подробности ошибки
    videos.rate	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина emailNotVerified Описание The user must verify her email address prior to rating the video.
    videos.rate	HTTP-код ответа badRequest (400) Причина videoPurchaseRequired Описание Rental videos can only be rated by users who rented them.

  • The subscriptions.delete and subscriptions.insert methods no longer support the accountClosed and accountSuspended errors.

April 27, 2015

This update contains the following changes:

• New resources and methods

  • The new videoAbuseReportReason resource contains information about a reason that a video would be flagged for containing abusive content. The videoAbuseReportReasons.list method lets you retrieve a list of all of the reasons why videos might be flagged.

  • The new videos.reportAbuse method provides a way to actually flag a video that contains abusive content. The body of the request contains a JSON object that specifies the video being flagged as well as the reason that the video is deemed to contain abusive content. Valid reasons can be obtained from the videoAbuseReportReason.list method described above.

    The migration guide has also been updated with an example for reporting an abusive video. With this change, the v3 API now supports all of the v2 API features that it is scheduled to support. These features are also all explained in the migration guide.

• Updates to existing resources and methods

  • The search.list method's new forDeveloper filter parameter restricts a search to only retrieve videos uploaded via the developer's application or website. The forDeveloper parameter can be used in conjunction with optional search parameters like the q parameter.

    For this feature, each uploaded video is automatically tagged with the project number that is associated with the developer's application in the Google Developers Console .

    When a search request subsequently sets the forDeveloper parameter to true , the API server uses the request's authorization credentials to identify the developer. Therefore, a developer can restrict results to videos uploaded through the developer's own app or website but not to videos uploaded through other apps or sites.

    The new feature offers functionality that is similar, albeit not identical, to the developer tags functionality that the v2 API supported.

  • The channel resource's new snippet.country property lets channel owners associate their channels with a particular country.

    Note: To set the snippet.country property for a channel resource, you actually need to update the brandingSettings.channel.country property.

  • The API now supports targeting for channelSection resources. Channel section targeting provides a way to restrict visibility of a content section to users that match particular criteria.

    The API exposes three targeting options. A user must meet all of the targeting settings for a channel section to be visible.

    • targeting.languages[] : A list of YouTube application languages . Users who have chosen one of those languages can see the corresponding channel section.

    • targeting.regions[] : A list of YouTube preferred content regions . The channel section is visible to users that have selected one of those regions as well as users for whom one of those regions is automatically selected.

    • targeting.countries[] : A list of countries where the channel section is visible. Each value in the list is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code .

  • The definition of the video resource's contentDetails.duration property has been corrected to reflect that the value can reflect hours, days, and so forth.

  • The documentation for the channelSections.delete , playlistItems.delete , playlists.delete , subscriptions.delete , and videos.delete method has been corrected to reflect that, when successful, those methods all return an HTTP 204 response code ( No Content ).

• New and updated errors

  • The API now supports the following errors:

    Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
    badRequest (400)	targetInvalidCountry	The channelSections.insert and channelSections.update methods return this error if the inserted channelSection resource contained an invalid value for the targeting.countries[] property.
    badRequest (400)	targetInvalidLanguage	The channelSections.insert and channelSections.update methods return this error if the inserted channelSection resource contained an invalid value for the targeting.languages[] property.
    badRequest (400)	targetInvalidRegion	The channelSections.insert and channelSections.update methods return this error if the inserted channelSection resource contained an invalid value for the targeting.regions[] property.
    badRequest (400)	operationNotSupported	The comments.insert method returns this error if the API user is not able to insert a comment in reply to the top-level comment identified by the snippet.parentId property. In a commentThread resource, the snippet.canReply property indicates whether the current viewer can reply to the thread.
    badRequest (400)	invalidChannelId	The search.list method returns this error if the channelId parameter in the request specified an invalid channel ID.
    badRequest (400)	subscriptionForbidden	The subscriptions.insert method returns this error if the API user tries to subscribe to the user's own channel.

  • The captions.update method no longer supports the invalidMetadata and videoNotFound errors.

16 апреля 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The migration guide has been updated to explain how to migrate applications still using comments functionality from the v2 API.

  The guide also calls out several commenting features that the v2 API did not support but that are supported in the v3 API . These include:

  • Retrieving comments about a channel
  • Retrieving all comment threads related to a channel, which means that the API response can contain comments about the channel or any of its videos.
  • Updating the text of a comment
  • Marking a comment as spam
  • Setting a comment's moderation status

• The Subscribing to push notifications guide has been updated to reflect the fact that notifications are only pushed to the Google PubSubHubBub hub and not also to the Superfeedr hub as previously indicated.

9 апреля 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The API's new commentThread and comment resources let you retrieve, insert, update, delete, and moderate comments.

  • A commentThread resource contains information about a YouTube comment thread, which comprises a top-level comment and replies, if any exist, to that comment. A commentThread resource can represent comments about either a video or a channel.

    The top-level comment and the replies are actually comment resources that are nested inside the commentThread resource. It is important to note that the commentThread resource does not necessarily contain all replies to a comment, and you need to use the comments.list method if you want to retrieve all replies for a particular comment. In addition, some comments do not have replies.

    The API supports the following methods for commentThread resources:

    • commentThreads.list – Retrieve a list of comment threads. Use this method to retrieve comments associated with a particular video or channel.
    • commentThreads.insert – Create a new top-level comment. (Use the comments.insert method to reply to an existing comment.)
    • commentThreads.update – Modify a top-level comment.

  • A comment resource contains information about a single YouTube comment. A comment resource can represent a comment about either a video or a channel. In addition, the comment could be a top-level comment or a reply to a top-level comment.

    The API supports the following methods for comment resources:

    • comments.list – Retrieve a list of comment. Use this method to retrieve all of the replies to a particular comment.
    • comments.insert – Create a reply to an existing comment.
    • comments.update – Modify a comment.
    • comments.markAsSpam – Flag one or more comments as spam.
    • comments.setModerationStatus – Set the moderation status of one or more comments. For example, clear a comment for public display or reject a comment as unfit for display. The API request must be authorized by the owner of the channel or video associated with the comments..
    • comments.delete – Delete a comment.

  Note that the API's new https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl scope, described in the revision history for April 2, 2015 , is required for calls to the comments.insert , comments.update , comments.markAsSpam , comments.setModerationStatus , comments.delete , commentThreads.insert , and commentThreads.update methods.

• The new Subscribing to push notifications guide explains the API's new support for push notifications via PubSubHubBub , a server-to-server publish/subscribe protocol for Web-accessible resources. Your PubSubHubBub callback server can receive Atom feed notifications when a channel does any of the following activities:

  • uploads a video
  • updates a video's title
  • updates a video's description

• The migration guide has also been updated to note the new support for push notifications. However, since the v2 API supported numerous other types of push notifications that are not supported in the v3 API, the mention of PubSubHubBub support is still listed in the Deprecated section of that guide.

• The API's new https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl scope is now a valid scope for any API method that previously supported the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube scope.

• The API now supports the following errors:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  badRequest (400)	invalidRating	The videos.rate method returns this error if the request contained an unexpected value for the rating parameter.

• The subscriptions.insert method no longer supports the subscriptionLimitExceeded error, which previously indicated that the subscriber identified with the request had exceeded the subscription rate limit.

2 апреля 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The new captions resource represents a YouTube caption track. A caption track is associated with exactly one YouTube video.

  The API supports methods to list , insert , update , download , and delete caption tracks.

• The migration guide has also been updated to explain how to migrate applications still using captions functionality in the v2 API.

• The API's new https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl scope requires communication with the API server to happen over an SSL connection.

  This new scope grants the same access as the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube scope. And, in fact, those two scopes are functionally identical because the YouTube API server is only available via an HTTPS endpoint. As a result, even though the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube scope does not require an SSL connection, there is actually no other way to make an API request.

  The new scope is required for calls to the all of the caption resource's methods.

11 марта 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The YouTube Data API (v3) migration guide contains a new tab, named New in the v3 API , that lists features that the v3 API does support and that the v2 API did not support. The same features were previously and are still listed in other tabs in the guide. For example, the new feature explaining how to update a channel's in-video promotional campaign data is also listed under the Channels (profiles) tab.

• The YouTube Data API (v3) migration guide has been updated to note that the v3 API will support the following v2 API feature:

  • Flagging a video

• The YouTube Data API (v3) migration guide has been updated to note that the following v2 API features will not be supported in the v3 API:

  • Retrieve video recommendations – The v3 API does not retrieve a list that only contains videos recommended for the current API user. However, you can use the v3 API to find recommended videos by calling the activities.list method and setting the home parameter value to true .

    In the API response, a resource corresponds to a recommended video if the snippet.type property's value is recommendation . In that case, the contentDetails.recommendation.reason and contentDetails.recommendation.seedResourceId properties will contain information about why the video was recommended. Note that there is no guarantee that the response will contain any particular number of recommended videos.

  • Retrieve channel suggestions

  • Retrieve new subscription videos – The v3 API does not retrieve a list that only contains videos that have recently been uploaded to channels that the API user subscribes to. However, you can use the v3 API to find new subscription videos by calling the activities.list method and setting the home parameter value to true .

    In the API response, a resource corresponds to a new subscription video if the snippet.type property's value is upload . Note that there is no guarantee that the response will contain any particular number of new subscription videos.

  • Поддержка RSS-каналов

  • Push notifications for feed updates – The v2 API supported push notifications, using either the Simple Update Protocol (SUP) or PubSubHubbub , to monitor user activity feeds for YouTube users. Notifications were provided for new channel subscriptions and when videos were rated, shared, marked as favorites, commented on, or uploaded.

    The v3 API will support push notifications using the PubSubHubbub protocol , but the notifications will only cover video uploads and updates to video titles or video descriptions.

  • Channel location – The v2 API used the <yt:location> tag to identify the user's location as entered in the channel's YouTube public profile. While some developers used this field to associate a channel with a particular country, the field's data could not consistently be used for that purpose.

  • Set or retrieve developer tags – The v2 API supported the ability to associate keywords, or developer tags, with a video at the time that the video was uploaded. Developer tags would not be displayed to YouTube users, but video owners could retrieve videos that matched a specific developer tag.

    The v3 API will provide a similar, but not identical, feature. Specifically, a developer will be able to search for videos uploaded by the developer's own application. For this feature, each uploaded video is automatically tagged with the project number that is associated with the developer's application in the Google Developers Console . The developer then uses the same project number to search for videos.

  • List videos by publication date, viewcount, or rating – In the v2 API, the orderby parameter let you sort videos in a playlist by position, duration, publication date, title, and several other values. In the v3 API, playlist items are typically sorted by position in ascending order and other sorting options are not available.

    There are a few exceptions. A new upload, favorite video, liked video, or recently watched video is automatically added as the first item ( snippet.position = 0 ) for the following types of playlists. So, each of these lists is effectively sorted in order of newest to oldest item based on the times that items were added to the list.

    • user uploads
    • favorite videos
    • понравившиеся видео
    • история часов

    Note, however, that a new item added to the "Watch later" playlist is added as the last item in that list, so that list is effectively sorted from oldest to newest item.

  • Batch processing – The v3 API supports one of the batch processing use cases that the v2 API had supported. The v3 API's channels.list , channelSections.list , guideCategories.list , playlistItems.list , playlists.list , subscriptions.list , videoCategories.list , and videos.list methods all support an id parameter, which can be used to specify a comma-delimited list of IDs (video IDs, channel IDs, etc.). Using those methods, you can retrieve a list of multiple resources with a single request.

  With these changes, the guide now identifies all functionality that was supported in the old (v2) API that will be deprecated in the current API version (v3).

4 марта 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channelSections.delete and channelSections.update methods now support the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, which is already supported for several other methods.

• The following properties and their child properties have been deprecated:

  • brandingSettings.image.backgroundImageUrl
  • brandingSettings.image.largeBrandedBannerImageImapScript
  • brandingSettings.image.largeBrandedBannerImageUrl
  • brandingSettings.image.smallBrandedBannerImageImapScript
  • brandingSettings.image.smallBrandedBannerImageUrl

  Note: None of these properties had been subject to the API Deprecation Policy.

• The video resource's new contentDetails.contentRating.contentDetails.contentRating.djctqRatingReasons property identifies the reasons that explain why the video received its DJCQT (Brazil) rating.

• The API now supports the following errors:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  notFound (404)	channelNotFound	The channels.update method returns this error if the request's id parameter specifies a channel that cannot be found.
  badRequest (400)	manualSortRequiredinvalidValue	The playlistItems.insert and playlistItems.update methods return this error if the request attempts to set the playlist item's position, but the playlist does not use manual sorting. For example, playlist items might be sorted by date or popularity. You can address this error by removing the snippet.position element from the resource sent in the request body. If you want the playlist item to have a specific position in the list, you need to first update the playlist's ordering setting to Manual . THis setting can be adjusted in the YouTube Video Manager .
  forbidden (403)	channelClosed	The playlists.list method returns this error if the request's channelId parameter specifies a channel that has been closed.
  forbidden (403)	channelSuspended	The playlists.list method returns this error if the request's channelId parameter specifies a channel that has been suspended.
  forbidden (403)	playlistForbidden	The playlists.list method returns this error if the request's id parameter does not support the request or the request is not properly authorized.
  notFound (404)	channelNotFound	The playlists.list method returns this error if the request's channelId parameter specifies a channel that cannot be found.
  notFound (404)	playlistNotFound	The playlists.list method returns this error if the request's id parameter specifies a playlist that cannot be found.
  notFound (404)	videoNotFound	The videos.list method returns this error if the request's id parameter specifies a video that cannot be found.
  badRequest (400)	invalidRating	The videos.rate method returns this error if the request contains an unexpected value for the rating parameter.

2 марта 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The search.list method now supports the relevanceLanguage parameter, which lets you request results that are most relevant to a particular language.

  The YouTube Data API (v3) migration guide has also been updated to explain how to use this new parameter. The parameter addresses a feature gap that previously existed between the current API version (v3) and the previous version (v2), which has already been deprecated.

• The YouTube Data API (v3) migration guide has also been updated to indicate the deprecation of the special feeds and metadata fields that the v2 API provided for describing movies, trailers, television shows, television seasons, and television episodes.

14 января 2015 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The YouTube Data API (v3) migration guide has been updated to explain how to use the v3 API to upload videos using JavaScript. (See the Upload a video section for details.) This functionality is comparable to the browser-based uploading functionality that the v2 API supports. Note that this change to the migration guide does not reflect an actual API change but rather the availability of new sample code for uploading videos with client-side JavaScript.

  Given the support for uploading videos with the JavaScript client library and CORS, the migration guide no longer lists browser-based uploading as a feature that may be deprecated in the v3 API.

• The documentation for the videos.insert method has been updated to include the new JavaScript code sample described above. The list of JavaScript code samples for the YouTube Data API (v3) has also been updated.

11 ноября 2014 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The quota cost for a call to the search.list method has changed to 100 units.

  Important: In many cases, you can use other API methods to retrieve information at a lower quota cost. For example, consider these two ways of finding videos uploaded to the GoogleDevelopers channel.

  • Quota cost: 100 units

    Call the search.list method and search for GoogleDevelopers .

  • Quota cost: 6 units

    Call the channels.list method to find the right channel ID. Set the forUsername parameter to GoogleDevelopers and the part parameter to contentDetails . In the API response, the contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.uploads property specifies the playlist ID for the channel's uploaded videos.

    Then call the playlistItems.list method and set the playlistId parameter to the captured ID and the part parameter to snippet .

8 октября 2014 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channel resource contains two new properties:

  • The status.longUploadsStatus property indicates whether the channel is eligible to upload videos that are more than 15 minutes long. This property is only returned if the channel owner authorized the API request. Valid property values are:

    • allowed – The channel can upload videos more than 15 minutes long.
    • eligible – The channel is eligible to upload videos more than 15 minutes long but must first enable the feature.
    • disallowed – The channel is not able or eligible to upload videos more than 15 minutes long.

    See the property definition for more information about these values. The YouTube Help Center also provides more detailed information about this feature.

  • The invideoPromotion.useSmartTiming property indicates whether the channel's promotional campaign uses "smart timing." This feature attempts to show promotions at a point in the video when they are more likely to be clicked and less likely to disrupt the viewing experience. This feature also picks up a single promotion to show on each video.

• The definitions of the video resource's snippet.title and snippet.categoryId properties have both been updated to clarify the way that API handles calls to the videos.update method. If you call that method to update the snippet part of a video resource, you must set a value for both of those properties.

  If you try to update the snippet part of a video resource and do not set a value for both of those properties, the API returns an invalidRequest error. That error's description has also been updated.

• The video resource's contentDetails.contentRating.oflcRating property, which identifies a video's rating from New Zealand's Office of Film and Literature Classification, now supports two new ratings: oflcRp13 and oflcRp16 . These correspond to the RP13 and RP16 ratings, respectively.

• The channelBanners.insert method now supports the following error:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  badRequest	bannerAlbumFull	The channel owner's YouTube Channel Art album has too many images. The channel owner should go to http://photos.google.com , navigate to the albums page, and remove some from images from that album.

18 июня 2014 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The description of each API method has been updated to include the quota cost incurred by a call to that method. Similarly, the definitions of part parameters have been updated to specify the quota cost of each part that can be retrieved in an API call. For example, a call to the subscriptions.insert method has a quota cost of approximately 50 units. The subscription resource also contains three parts ( snippet , contentDetails , and subscriberSnippet ), and each of those has a cost of two units.

  Please remember that quota costs can change without warning.

• The video resource now supports 43 new content rating systems, which identify the ratings that videos received from various national rating agencies. The newly supported rating systems are from Argentina , Austria , Belgium , Bulgaria , Chile ( television ), Chile ( film ), Czech Republic , Colombia , Denmark , Egypt , Estonia , Finland , France , Greece , Hong Kong , Iceland , Indonesia , Ireland , Israel , Italy , Kenya , Latvia , Luxembourg , Malaysia , Maldives , Malta , Netherlands , Nigeria , Norway , Peru , Philippines , Portugal , Romania , Singapore , Slovakia , South Africa , Sweden , Switzerland , Taiwan , Thailand , and Venezuela .

28 мая 2014 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The search.list method now supports the location and locationRadius parameters, which let you search for videos associated with a geographic location. A request must specify a value for both parameters to retrieve results based on location, and the API will return an error if a request includes only one of the two parameters.

  • The location parameter specifies the latitude/longitude coordinates at the center of the circular geographic area.

  • The locationRadius parameter specifies the maximum distance that the location associated with a video can be from the center of the area for the video to still be included in search results.

13 мая 2014 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channel resource's invideoPromotion.items[] property has been updated to note that you can typically only set one promoted item for your channel. If you try to insert too many promoted items, the API will return a tooManyPromotedItems error, which has an HTTP 400 status code.

• The channelSection resource now can contain information about a few new types of featured content. The channelSection resource's snippet.type property now supports the following values:

• The definition of the watermark resource's position.cornerPosition property has been updated to note that the watermark always appear in the upper right corner of the player.

• The definition of the q parameter for the search.list method has been updated to note that the query term can use the Boolean NOT ( - ) operator to exclude videos associated with a particular search term. The value can also use the Boolean OR ( | ) operator to find videos associated with one of several search terms.

• The definition of the pageInfo.totalResults property that is returned in an API response to a search.list call has been updated to note that the value is an approximation and may not represent an exact value. In addition, the maximum value is 1,000,000. You should not use this value to create pagination links. Instead, use the nextPageToken and prevPageToken property values to determine whether to show pagination links.

• The watermarks.set and watermarks.unset methods have been updated to reflect that the API returns an HTTP 204 response code for successful requests to those methods.

2 мая 2014 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The new i18nLanguage resource identifies an application language that the YouTube website supports. The application language can also be referred to as a UI language. For the YouTube website, an application language could be automatically selected based on Google Account settings, browser language, or IP location, and a user could also manually select the desired UI language from the YouTube site footer.

  The API supports a method to list supported application languages. Supported languages can be used as the value of the hl parameter when calling API methods like videoCategories.list and guideCategories.list .

• The new i18nRegion resource identifies a geographic area that a YouTube user can select as the preferred content region. The content region can also be referred to as a content locale. For the YouTube website, a content region could be automatically selected based on heuristics like the YouTube domain or the user's IP location, and a user could also manually select the desired content region from the YouTube site footer.

This update contains the following changes:

• The new channelSection resource contains information about a set of videos that a channel has chosen to feature. For example, a section could feature a channel's latest uploads, most popular uploads, or videos from one or more playlists.

  The API supports methods to list , insert , update , or delete channel sections. You can retrieve a list of channel sections for the authenticated user's channel, by specifying a particular channel ID, or by specifying a list of unique channel section IDs.

  The error documentation has also been updated to describe the error messages that the API supports specifically for these new methods.

• The definition of the video resource's fileDetails object has been updated to explain that that object will only be returned if the video's processingDetails.fileDetailsAvailability property has a value of available .

  Similarly, the definition of the video resource's suggestions object has been updated to explain that that object will only be returned if the video's processingDetails.tagSuggestionsAvailability property or its processingDetails.editorSuggestionsAvailability property has a value of available .

• The documentation for the videos.insert and videos.update methods has been updated to reflect that the status.publishAt property can be set when calling those methods.

• The definition of the channel resource's invideoPromotion object has been updated to explain that the object can only be retrieved by the channel's owner.

• The parameter list for the videos.rate method has been updated to reflect that that method does not actually support the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter. This was a documentation error as videos.rate requests that set this parameter return a 500 error.

31 марта 2014 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The video resource's new status.publishAt property lets you specify the date and time when a private video is scheduled to be published.

13 марта 2014 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The API now supports the contentOwnerDetails part for channel resources. The new part contains channel data that is relevant for YouTube partners linked with the channel, including the ID of the content owner linked to the channel and the date and time when the content owner and channel were linked.

  channel	invideoPromotion.items[].customMessage	40 символов
  video	snippet.title	100 символов
  video	snippet.description	5000 bytes
  video	snippet.tags	500 characters. Note that the property value is a list and that commas between items in the list count toward the limit.

• The channel resource's brandingSettings.watch.featuredPlaylistId property has been deprecated. The API will return an error if you attempt to set its value.

• The following video resource properties have been added to the list of values that can be set when inserting or updating a video:

  • recordingDetails.locationDescription
  • recordingDetails.location.latitude
  • recordingDetails.location.longitude

5 декабря 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The search.list method's documentation has been updated to properly reflect that you do not need to specify a value for exactly one filter parameter when submitting a search request. Rather, you can set a value for zero filter parameters or for one filter parameter.

• The definitions for the search.list method's parameters have been updated to note that you must set the type parameter's value to video if you also specify a value for any of the following parameters:

  • eventType
  • videoCaption
  • videoCategoryId
  • videoDefinition
  • videoDimension
  • videoDuration
  • videoEmbeddable
  • videoLicense
  • videoSyndicated
  • videoType

• The minimum size of uploaded channel banner images has been reduced to 2048px by 1152px. (Previously, the minimum size was 2120px by 1192px.) In addition, note that the channel resource documentation specifies the maximum sizes of all of the banner images served from the API. For example, the maximum size of the brandingSettings.image.bannerTvImageUrl image for television applications is 2120px by 1192px, but the actual image may be 2048px by 1152px. The YouTube Help Center provides additional guidance for optimizing channel art for display on different types of devices.

• Several channel resource property definitions have been updated to reflect the following information:

  • The brandingSettings.channel.description property's value has a maximum length of 1000 characters.
  • The brandingSettings.channel.featuredChannelsTitle property has a maximum length of 30 characters.
  • The brandingSettings.channel.featuredChannelsUrls[] property can now list up to 100 channels.
  • The brandingSettings.channel.unsubscribedTrailer property value, if set, must specify the YouTube video ID of a public or unlisted video that is owned by the channel owner.

• The channels.update method now supports updates to the invideoPromotion.items[].promotedByContentOwner property. That property indicates whether the content owner's name will be shown when displaying the promotion. It can only be set if the API request that sets the property value is being made on the content owner's behalf using the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter.

• The playlistItems.list and playlistItems.insert methods now support the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, which is already supported for several other methods.

• The contentDetails.contentRating.acbRating property can now specify a rating from either the Australian Classification Board (ACB) for movies or from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) for children's television programming.

• The new contentDetails.contentRating.catvRating and contentDetails.contentRating.catvfrRating properties identify the ratings that a video received under the Canadian TV Classification System and the French-language Régie du cinéma rating system, which is used in Québec, respectively.

24 октября 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The API includes two additional features designed to help find and feature live broadcast content:

  The new snippet.liveBroadcastContent property in search results indicates whether a video or channel resource has live broadcast content. Valid property values are upcoming , active , and none .

  • The video resource's new snippet.liveBroadcastContent property indicates whether the video is an upcoming or active live broadcast. The list below explains the property's possible values:

    • upcoming – The video is a live broadcast that has not yet started.
    • active – The video is an ongoing live broadcast.
    • none – The video is not an upcoming or active live broadcast. This will be the property value for completed broadcasts that are still viewable on YouTube.

  • The video resource's new liveStreamingDetails property is an object that contains metadata about a live video broadcast. To retrieve this metadata, include liveStreamingDetails in the part parameter value's list of resource parts. The metadata includes the following new properties:

    • liveStreamingDetails.actualStartTime – The time that the broadcast actually started. (This value will be present once the broadcast's state is active .)
    • liveStreamingDetails.actualEndTime – The time that the broadcast actually ended. (This value will be present once the broadcast is over.)
    • liveStreamingDetails.scheduledStartTime – The time that the broadcast is scheduled to begin.
    • liveStreamingDetails.scheduledEndTime – The time that the broadcast is scheduled to end. If the property value is empty or the property is not present, then the broadcast is scheduled to go on indefinitely.
    • liveStreamingDetails.concurrentViewers – The number of people watching the live broadcast.

    To retrieve this metadata, include liveStreamingDetails in the part parameter value when calling the videos.list , videos.insert , or videos.update method.

  Note that two other features for identifying live broadcast content were released on October 1, 2013 – the search.list method's eventType parameter and the search result's snippet.liveBroadcastContent property.

• The videos.insert method now supports the notifySubscribers parameter, which indicates whether YouTube should send a notification about the new video to users who subscribe to the video's channel. The parameter's default value is True , which indicates that subscribers will be notified of newly uploaded videos. However, a channel owner who is uploading many videos might prefer to set the value to False to avoid sending a notification about each new video to the channel's subscribers.

• The list of properties that can be modified when calling the channels.update method has been updated to include the invideoPromotion.items[].customMessage and invideoPromotion.items[].websiteUrl properties. In addition, the list has been modified to identify the brandingSettings properties that are modifiable. These brandingSettings properties were already modifiable, so the documentation change does not reflect a change to the API's existing functionality.

• The playlists.insert , playlists.update , and playlists.delete methods now support the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, which is already supported for several other methods.

• The playlists.insert method now supports the onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter, which is already supported for several other methods.

• The video resource's contentDetails.contentRating.tvpgRating property now supports a value of pg14 , which corresponds to a TV-14 rating.

• The definition of the snippet.liveBroadcastContent property, which is part of search results, has been corrected to reflect that live is a valid property value, but active is not a valid property value.

• The video resource's contentDetails.contentRating.mibacRating property now supports two additional ratings:

  • mibacVap (VAP) – Children should be accompanied by an adult.
  • mibacVm6 (VM6) – Restricted to 6 and over.
  • mibacVm12 (VM12) – Restricted to 12 and over.

• The channel resource's new invideoPromotion.items[].promotedByContentOwner property indicates whether the content owner's name will be shown when displaying the promotion. This field can only be set if the API request that sets the value is being made on the content owner's behalf. See the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter for more information.

1 октября 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channel resource's new auditDetails object contains channel data that a multichannel network (MCN) would evaluate while determining whether to accept or reject a particular channel. Note that any API request that retrieves this resource part must provide an authorization token that contains the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner-channel-audit scope. In addition, any token that uses that scope must be revoked when the MCN decides to accept or reject the channel or within two weeks of the date that the token was issued.

• The channel resource's invideoPromotion.items[].id.type property now supports a value of recentUpload , which indicates that the promoted item is the most recently uploaded video from a specified channel.

  By default, the channel is the same as the one for which the in-video promotion data is set. However, you can promote the most recently uploaded video from another channel by setting the value of the new invideoPromotion.items[].id.recentlyUploadedBy property to the channel ID for that channel.

• The channel resource contains three new properties – brandingSettings.image.bannerTvLowImageUrl , brandingSettings.image.bannerTvMediumImageUrl , brandingSettings.image.bannerTvHighImageUrl – that specify the URLs for the banner images that display on channel pages in television applications.

• The new snippet.liveBroadcastContent property in search results indicates whether a video or channel resource has live broadcast content. Valid property values are upcoming , active , and none .

  • For a video resource, a value of upcoming indicates that the video is a live broadcast that has not yet started, while a value of active indicates that the video is an ongoing live broadcast.
  • For a channel resource, a value of upcoming indicates that the channel has a scheduled broadcast that has not yet started, while a value of acive indicates that the channel has an ongoing live broadcast.

• In the watermark resource, the targetChannelId property has changed from an object to a string. Instead of containing a child property that specifies the YouTube channel ID of the channel that the watermark image links to, the targetChannelId property now specifies that value itself. Accordingly, the resource's targetChannelId.value property has been removed.

• The thumbnails.set method now supports the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, which is already supported for several other methods.

• The search.list method now supports the eventType parameter, which restricts a search to only return either active, upcoming, or completed broadcast events.

• The new contentDetails.contentRating.mibacRating property identifies the rating that a video received from Italy's Ministero dei Beni e delle Attivita Culturali e del Turismo.

• The API now supports the following errors:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  badRequest	invalidImage	The thumbnails.set method returns this error if the provided image content is invalid.
  forbidden	videoRatingDisabled	The videos.rate method returns this error if the owner of the video that is being rated has disabled ratings for that video.

27 августа 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The new watermark resource identifies an image that displays during playbacks of a specified channel's videos. You can also specify a target channel to which the image will link as well as timing details that determine when the watermark appears during video playbacks and the length of time it is visible.

  The watermarks.set method uploads and sets a channel's watermark image. The watermarks.unset method deletes a channel's watermark image.

  The error documentation describes the error messages that the API supports specifically for the watermarks.set and watermarks.unset methods.

• The channel resource's new statistics.hiddenSubscriberCount property contains a boolean value that indicates whether the channel's number of subscribers is hidden. As such, the property's value is false if the channel's subscriber count is publicly visible.

• The playlists.list method now supports the onBehalfOfContentOwner and onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameters. Both parameters are already supported for several other methods.

• The videos.list method now supports the regionCode parameter, which identifies the content region for which a chart should be retrieved. This parameter can only be used in conjunction with the chart parameter. The parameter value is an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.

• The error documentation describes the following new common request error, which could occur for multiple API methods:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  forbidden	insufficientPermissions	The scopes associated with the OAuth 2.0 token provided for the request are insufficient for accessing the requested data.

15 августа 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channel resource's invideoPromotion object has the following new and updated properties:

  • The API now supports the ability to specify a website as a promoted item. To do so, set the invideoPromotion.items[].id.type property value to website and use the new invideoPromotion.items[].id.websiteUrl property to specify the URL. Also use the new invideoPromotion.items[].customMessage property to define a custom message to display for the promotion.

    Links can be to associated websites, merchant sites, or social networking sites. See the YouTube Help Center instructions for associated websites and merchant sites for more information about enabling links for your content.

    By adding promotional links, you agree that those links will not be used to redirect traffic to unauthorized sites and that those links will comply with YouTube's AdWords policies , YouTube ad policies , YouTube Community Guidelines and YouTube Terms of Service .

  • The properties related to the timing settings for displaying promoted items during video playback have been restructured:

    • The invideoPromotion.timing object has been moved to invideoPromotion.items[].timing . This object now enables you to customize the timing data for each promoted item in the invideoPromotion.items[] list.

    • The new invideoPromotion.defaultTiming object specifies default timing settings for your promotion. Those settings define when a promoted item will display during playback of one of your channel's videos. You can override the default timing for any given promoted item using the invideoPromotion.items[].timing object.

    • The new invideoPromotion.items[].timing.durationMs property specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that the promotion should display. The invideoPromotion.defaultTiming object also contains a durationMs field that specifies the default amount of time that the promoted item will display.

  • The invideoPromotion.items[].type and invideoPromotion.items[].videoId properties both have been moved into the invideoPromotion.items[].id object.

• The subscriptions.list method now supports the onBehalfOfContentOwner and onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameters. Both parameters are already supported for several other methods.

• In the API response to a thumbnails.set request, the kind property value has changed from youtube#thumbnailListResponse to youtube#thumbnailSetResponse .

• Code samples have been added for the following methods:

  • channels.update (Java, Python)
  • playlists.insert (.NET, PHP)
  • subscriptions.insert (PHP, Python)
  • thumbnails.set (PHP, Python)
  • videos.insert (PHP)
  • videos.list (PHP)
  • videos.rate (Python)
  • videos.update (Java, PHP, Python)

  Note that the Python example for the playlistItems.insert method was also removed since the functionality it demonstrated is now handled by the videos.rate method.

• The error documentation describes the following new request context error, which could occur for any API method that supports the mine request parameter:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  badRequest	invalidMine	The mine parameter cannot be used in requests where the authenticated user is a YouTube partner. You should either remove the mine parameter, authenticate as a YouTube user by removing the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, or act as one of the partner's channels by providing the onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter if available for the called method.

8 августа 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The Getting Started with the YouTube Data API guide's Quota Usage section has been updated to reflect a change in the quota cost of a video upload from approximately 16000 units to approximately 1600 units.

• In a channelBanner resource, the value of the kind property's value has changed from youtube#channelBannerInsertResponse to youtube#channelBannerResource . This resource is returned in response to a channelBanners.insert request.

• The channel resource's new brandingSettings.channel.profileColor property specifies a prominent color that complements the channel's content. The property value is a pound sign ( # ) followed by a six-character hexadecimal string, such as #2793e6 .

• The API now supports the ability to specify whether a subscription is for all of a channel's activities or just for new uploads. The subscription resource's new contentDetails.activityType property identifies the types of activities that the subscriber will be notified about. Valid property values are all and uploads .

• The videos.list method supports new parameters for retrieving a chart of the most popular videos on YouTube:

  • The chart parameter identifies the chart that you want to retrieve. Currently, the only supported value is mostPopular . Note that the chart parameter is a filter parameter, which means it cannot be used in the same request as other filter parameters ( id and myRating ).
  • The videoCategoryId parameter identifies the video category for which the chart should be retrieved. This parameter can only be used in conjunction with the chart parameter. By default, charts are not restricted to a particular category.

• The video resource's new topicDetails.relevantTopicIds[] property provides a list of Freebase topic IDs that are relevant to the video or its content. The subjects of these topics may be mentioned in or appear in the video.

• The video resource's recordingDetails.location.elevation property has been renamed to recordingDetails.location.altitude , and its fileDetails.recordingLocation.location.elevation property has been renamed to fileDetails.recordingLocation.location.altitude .

• The video resource's contentDetails.contentRating object specifies the ratings that a video received under various rating schemes, including MPAA ratings, TVPG ratings, and so forth. For each rating system, the API now supports a rating value that indicates that the video has not been rated. Note that for MPAA ratings , an "unrated" rating is frequently used to identify uncut versions of films for which the cut version of the film did receive an official rating.

• The video resource's new contentDetails.contentRating.ytRating property identifies age-restricted content. The property value will be ytAgeRestricted if YouTube has identified the video as containing content that is inappropriate for users less than 18 years old. If the property is absent or if the property value is empty, then the content has not been identified as age-restricted.

• The channels.list method's mySubscribers parameter has been deprecated. Use the subscriptions.list method and its mySubscribers parameter to retrieve a list of subscribers to the authenticated user's channel.

• The channelBanners.insert , channels.update , videos.getRating , and videos.rate methods all now support the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter. That parameter indicates that the authenticated user is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value.

• The channels.update method's documentation has been updated to reflect the fact that that method can be used to update the channel resource's brandingSettings object and its child properties. The documentation also now lists the updated list of properties that you can set for the channel resource's invideoPromotion object.

• The error documentation describes the following new errors:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  forbidden	accountDelegationForbidden	This error is not specific to a particular API method. It indicates that the authenticated user is not authorized to act on behalf of the specified Google account.

  notFound	videoNotFound	The videos.update method returns this error to indicate that the video you are trying to update cannot be found. Check the value of the id property in the request body to ensure it is correct.

10 июня 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channels.list method's new forUsername parameter enables you to retrieve information about a channel by specifying its YouTube username.

• The activities.list method now supports the regionCode parameter, which instructs the API to return results relevant to the specified country. YouTube uses this value when the authorized user's previous activity on YouTube does not provide enough information to generate the activity feed.

• Playlist resources now contain the snippet.tags property. The property will be only be returned to authorized users who are retrieving data about their own playlists. Authorized users can also set playlist tags when calling either the playlists.insert or playlists.update methods.

• The onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, which was previously supported for the channels.list and search.list methods, is now also supported for the videos.insert , videos.update , and videos.delete methods. Note that when this parameter is used in a call to the videos.insert method, the request must also specify a value for the new onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter, which identifies the channel to which the video will be added. The channel must be linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies.

  The parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner.

  This parameter is intended for content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. The parameter enables those partners to authenticate once and get access to all of their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel.

  Specifically in regard to this release, the parameter now enables a content partner to insert, update, or delete videos in any of the YouTube channels that the partner owns.

• The error documentation describes the following new errors:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  forbidden	insufficientCapabilities	This error is not specific to a particular API method. It indicates that the CMS user calling the API does not have sufficient permissions to perform the requested operation. This error is associated with the use of the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, which is supported for several API methods.
  unauthorized	authorizationRequired	The activities.list method returns this error when the request uses the home parameter but is not properly authorized.

• In the channels resource, the invideoPromotion.channelId property has been removed because the channel ID is already specified using the resource's id property.

• The new Working with Channel IDs guide explains how the API uses channel IDs. The guide may be especially useful for developers migrating from the previous version of the API and who have applications that either request content for the default user or that rely on the notion that every YouTube channel has a unique username, which is no longer the case.

22 мая 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The new channelBanners.insert method enables you to upload a banner image that can subsequently be set as the banner image for a channel using the channel resource's new brandingSettings.image.bannerExternalUrl property.

• The documentation for the channels.update method has been updated to list the properties that can be modified when calling the method.

• The video resource documentation no longer lists unspecified as a valid property value for the suggestions.processingErrors[] , suggestions.processingHints[] , suggestions.processingWarnings[] , and suggestions.editorSuggestions[] properties.

• The videos.list method's maxResults parameter now has a default value of 5 .

• The error documentation now lists errors for the channelBanners.insert and subscriptions.list methods. It also lists several new errors for the channels.update method.

14 мая 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Standalone pages now list code samples for Java , .NET , PHP , and Ruby .

• The page that lists Python code samples now includes examples for adding a subscription, creating a playlist, and updating a video.

10 мая 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• YouTube no longer identifies experimental API features and services. Instead, we now provide a list of YouTube APIs that are subject to the deprecation policy .

8 мая 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Channel resources now support the inVideoPromotion object, which encapsulates information about a promotional campaign associated with the channel. A channel can use an in-video promotional campaign to display thumbnail images for a promoted video within the video player during playbacks of the channel's videos.

  You can retrieve this data by including invideoPromotion in the part parameter value in a channels.list request.

• The new channels.update method can be used to update a channel's in-video promotional campaign data. Note that the method only supports updates to the invideoPromotion part of the channel resource and does not yet support updates to other parts of that resource.

2 мая 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• Channel resources now support the status.isLinked property, which indicates whether the channel data identifies a user that is already linked to either a YouTube username or a Google+ account. A user that has one of these links already has a public YouTube identity, which is a prerequisite for several actions, such as uploading videos.

• Subscription resources now support the subscriberSnippet part. That object encapsulates contains snippet data for the subscriber's channel.

• The API now supports the videos.getRating method, which retrieves the ratings that the authenticated user gave to a list of one or more videos.

• The videos.list method's new myRating parameter enables you to retrieve a list of videos that the authenticated user rated with a like or dislike rating.

  The myRating parameter and the id parameter are both now considered filter parameters, which means that an API request must specify exactly one of the parameters. (Previously, the id parameter was a required parameter for this method.)

  The method returns a forbidden error for requests that attempt to retrieve video rating information but are not properly authorized to do so.

• With the introduction of the myRating parameter, the videos.list method has also been updated to support pagination. Note, however, that paging parameters are only supported for requests using the myRating parameter. (Paging parameters and information are not supported for requests that use the id parameter.)

  • The maxResults parameter specifies the maximum number of videos that the API can return in the result set, and the pageToken parameter identifies a specific page in the result set that you want to retrieve.

  • The youtube#videoListResponse resource, which is returned in response to a videos.list request, now contains the pageInfo object, which contains details like the total number of results and the number of results included in the current result set. The youtube#videoListResponse resource can also include nextPageToken and prevPageToken properties, each of which provides a token that could be used to retrieve a specific page in the result set.

• The videos.insert method supports the following new parameters:

  • autoLevels – Set this parameter value to true to instruct YouTube to automatically enhance the video's lighting and color.
  • stabilize – Set this parameter value to true to instruct YouTube to adjust the video by removing shakiness resulting from camera motions.

• The channelTitle property has been added to the snippet for the following resources:

  • playlistItem – The property specifies the name of the channel that added the playlist item.
  • playlist – The property specifies the name of the channel that created the playlist.
  • subscription – The property specifies the name of the channel that is subscribed to.

• Code samples have been added for the following methods:

  • activities.insert (Ruby)
  • playlistItems.list (.NET)
  • search.list (.NET)
  • subscriptions.insert (Java, Ruby)
  • videos.insert (.NET, Ruby)

• The subscriptions.list method's new mySubscribers parameter enables you to retrieve a list of the currently authenticated user's subscribers. This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request.

  Note: This functionality is intended to replace the mySubscribers parameter currently supported for the channels.list method. That parameter will be deprecated.

• In a video resource, the property value unspecified is no longer a possible value for any of the following properties:

  • fileDetails.fileType
  • fileDetails.videoStreams[].rotation
  • processingDetails.processingStatus
  • processingDetails.processingFailureReason
  • fileDetails.fileType

• API requests that contain an unexpected parameter now return a badRequest error, and the reported reason for the error is unexpectedParameter .

• The error that the playlistItems.insert method returns when the playlist already contains the maximum number of allowed items has been updated. The error is now reported as a forbidden error, and the error reason is playlistContainsMaximumNumberOfVideos .

19 апреля 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The new videos.rate method lets a user set a like or dislike rating on a video or remove a rating from a video.

  The error documentation has also been updated to list the errors that the API might return in response to a videos.rate method call.

• Thumbnail images are now identified in the API documentation as a separate resource , and the new thumbnails.set method enables you to upload a custom video thumbnail to YouTube and set it for a video.

  The error documentation has also been updated to list the errors that the API might return in response to a thumbnails.set method call.

  Note that this change does not really affect existing resources that return thumbnail images. Thumbnail images are returned in those resources in the same way that they were previously, though the documentation does now list the names of the different thumbnail sizes that the API might return.

• The channel resource's new brandingSettings part identifies settings, text, and images for the channel's channel page and video watch pages.

• The playlistItem resource contains the following new properties:

  • The new status object encapsulates status information about the playlist item, and the status.privacyStatus property identifies the playlist item's privacy status.

• The video resource contains the following new properties:

  • The status.publicStatsViewable property indicates whether extended video statistics on the watch page are publicly viewable. By default, those statistics are viewable, and statistics like a video's viewcount and ratings will still be publicly visible even if this property's value is set to false . You can set this property's value when calling the videos.insert or videos.update method.

  • The contentDetails.contentRating object encapsulates ratings that the video received under various rating schemes. The list below identifies the supported rating systems and provides a link to the property associated with each rating system. The property definitions identify the supported rating values for each system.

  • The new forMine parameter restricts a search to only retrieve the authenticated user's videos.

  • The order parameter now supports the ability to sort results alphabetically by title ( order=title ) or by video count in descending order ( order=videoCount ).

  • The new safeSearch parameter indicates whether search results should include restricted content.

• The videos.insert method supports several new errors, which are listed in the table below:

  Тип ошибки	Подробности ошибки	Описание
  badRequest	invalidCategoryId	The snippet.categoryId property specifies an invalid category ID. Use the videoCategories.list method to retrieve supported categories.
  badRequest	invalidRecordingDetails	The metadata specifies invalid recording details.
  badRequest	invalidVideoGameRating	Метаданные запроса указывают на недопустимый рейтинг видеоигры.

• The onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter has been removed from the list of supported parameters for the videos.update and videos.delete methods.

12 марта 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The channelTitle property has been added to the snippet for the following resources:

  • activity – The property specifies the name of the channel responsible for the activity.
  • search – The property specifies the name of the channel associated with the resource that the search result identifies.
  • video – The property specifies the name of the channel that uploaded the video.

• The search.list method supports the following new parameters:

  • The channelType parameter lets you restrict a search for channels to retrieve all channels or to retrieve only shows.

  • The videoType parameter lets you restrict a search for videos to retrieve all videos or to retrieve only movies or only episodes of shows.

• The definition of the video resource's recordingDetails part has been updated to note that the object will only be returned for a video if the video's geolocation data or recording time has been set.

• The playlistItems.update method now returns an invalidSnippet error, which is returned if the API request does not specify a valid snippet.

• Several API methods support new parameters that are intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. YouTube content partners include movie and television studios, record labels, and other content creators that make their content available on YouTube.

  • The onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner.

    This parameter is intended for content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. The parameter enables those partners to authenticate once and get access to all of their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel.

    The channels.list , search.list , videos.delete , videos.list , and videos.update methods all support this parameter.

  • The managedByMe parameter, which is supported by the channels.list method, instructs the API to return all channels owned by the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies.

  • The forContentOwner parameter, which is supported by the search.list method, instructs the API to restrict search results to only include resources that are owned by the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies.

25 февраля 2013 г.

This update contains the following changes:

• The API supports several new parts and properties for video resources:

  • The new fileDetails , processingDetails , and suggestions parts provide information to video owners about their uploaded videos. This data is very useful in applications that enable video uploads and includes the following:

    • processing status and progress
    • errors or other issues encountered while processing a video
    • availability of thumbnail images
    • suggestions for improving video or metadata quality
    • details about the original file uploaded to YouTube

    All of these parts can only be retrieved by the video owner. The list below briefly describes the new parts, and the video resource documentation defines all of the properties that each part contains.

    • The fileDetails object contains information about the video file that was uploaded to YouTube, including the file's resolution, duration, audio and video codecs, stream bitrates, and more.

    • The processingProgress object contains information about YouTube's progress in processing the uploaded video file. The object's properties identify the current processing status and estimate the time remaining until YouTube finishes processing the video. This part also indicates whether different types of data or content, such as file details or thumbnail images, are available for the video.

      This object is designed to be polled so that the video uploader can track the progress that YouTube has made in processing the uploaded video file.

    • The suggestions object contains suggestions that identify opportunities to improve the video quality or the metadata for the uploaded video.

  • The contentDetails part contains four new properties. These properties can be retrieved with unauthenticated requests.

    • dimension – Indicates whether the video is available in 2D or 3D.
    • definition – Indicates whether the video is available in standard or high definition.
    • caption – Indicates whether captions are available for the video.
    • licensedContent – Indicates whether the video contains content that has been claimed by a YouTube content partner.

  • The status part contains two new properties. Video owners can set values for both properties when inserting or updating a video. These properties can also be retrieved with unauthenticated requests.

    • embeddable – Indicates whether the video can be embedded on another website.
    • license – Specifies the video's license. Valid values are creativeCommon and youtube .

• The definition of the part parameter has been updated for the videos.list , videos.insert , and videos.update methods to list the newly added parts described above as well as the recordingDetails part, which had been inadvertently omitted.

• The channel resource's new contentDetails.googlePlusUserId property specifies the Google+ profile ID associated with the channel. This value can be used to generate a link to the Google+ profile.

• Each thumbnail image object now specifies the image's width and height. Thumbnail images are currently returned in activity , channel , playlist , playlistItem , search result , subscription , and video resources.

• The playlistItems.list now supports the videoId parameter, which can be used in conjunction with the playlistId parameter to only retrieve the playlist item that represents the specified video.

  The API returns a notFound error if the video that the parameter identifies cannot be found in the playlist.

• The error documentation describes a new forbidden error, which indicates that a request is not properly authorized for the requested action.

• The channel resource's snippet.channelId property has been removed. The resource's id property provides the same value.
