YouTube search broken -> App broken about auto-youtube-subscription-playlist-2

[JesperDramsch]

This also explains the quota errors:

Before the search would return only video IDs after the timestamp in your spreadsheet. Then add each one.

The quota costs are outlined here.

Now that filters are broken, YouTube returns ALL videos from a channel and adds every video to the playlist instead of only the most recent ones. Depending on the channel, that's a whole lot of videos to write.

Since quotas are daily, that will cause some funny behaviour.

The API is back up since ~20 hours, so I guess this can be closed now 🎉

Have a workaround, that is valid even after this is fixed (if Google dont f.. up there api even more). Ide from https://stackoverflow.com/a/55207539.
Its cost a little more api call point but seams valid, just tried it for one chanel. (Hope there are no edge cases that is not valid)

1. You use the Chanel.list, and in ”part” add “contentDetails” cost 2 points. (Can probebly be done on init where we get the channel id grab. But if it’s a one time thing we need too test soo the playlist id don’t change overtime)
2. Then you get the get the “contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.uploads”
3. Add that Chanel uploads playlist id to the playlistItems.list
4. Wolla You have a sorted list of all uploads from a Chanel and the latest video is on top :D

I may have some time this week to try to implement this but no promessis.

Thanks! Hope this will help some people find the right answers. I was thoroughly confused why my gmail was getting spammed 🤷‍♂️

Thank you, this is very helpful. I wondered why i reached my Youtube API quota everyday;)

So basically the script has no chance to work until google fixes their stuff? That's unfortunate

[JesperDramsch]

That is correct. Try the search on their website. Can't sort by date

From what I've read, the google video search should still work. Maybe a swap from the youtube API to the google video API might be possible until google fixes youtube's APIs.

Confirmed, it runs fine for me again. It even checked the last 12 days of my 84 sources and added 46 videos without going over the time limit.
Interestingly, I got no notification from the followed YouTube bug report.
