So, i'm a bit confused how youtube API queries impact on quota. They all lay out on a "composition" aspec of requisitions:
The Quota calculator show the cost of various resources.For example search.list = 100 and videos.list = 1.
One aspect of it is not clear to me though. How it calculates on a 'multi-results' single request?
| query | quota doubt |
|---|---|
/search?maxResults=10 | is it one100 quota, or ten100(1000) quotas? |
/videos?id=A,B | is it one quota, or two quotas? |
/video?part=A,B | is this addingtwo quotas? (each video??) Since no ?part= returns only id related data |
/...?fields=A,B(C) | is fields query impacting the request quota anyhow? |
I first thought it was really straightforward: 1 call, 1 quota "package". And that seemed to be supported by this calculator's quote:
If your application calls a method, such as
search.list, that returns multiple pages of results, each request to retrieve an additional page of results incurs the estimated quota cost.
But while developing a simple video list, my daily quota blew up pretty damn fast. So not sure anymore.
