How can I calculate my YouTube API usage?

by

Version 3 of the YouTube Data API has concrete quota numbers listed in the Google API Console where you register for your API Key. You can use 10,000 units per day. Projects that had enabled the YouTube Data API before April 20, 2016, have a default quota of 50,000,000 per day.

You can read about what a unit is here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started#quota

  • A simple read operation that only retrieves the ID of each returned resource has a cost of approximately 1 unit.
  • A write operation has a cost of approximately 50 units.
  • A video upload has a cost of approximately 1600 units.

If you hit the limits, Google will stop returning results until your quota is reset. You can apply for more than 1,000,000 requests per day, but you will have to pay for those extra requests.
