YouTube Data API v3
Search YouTube and read video/channel/playlist data within a 10,000-unit daily free quota
The YouTube Data API v3 provides read (and authorized write) access to YouTube videos, channels, playlists, captions, and search. Every project gets 10,000 free quota units per day; each operation costs a weighted number of units (a search.list call costs 100, most reads cost 1). A plain API key covers public reads; OAuth is only needed for user-owned data.
