The table below shows the quota cost for calling each API method. All API requests, including invalid requests, incur a quota cost of at least one point.
The following two points are worth calling out as they both affect your quota usage:
- 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. - YouTube Live Streaming API methods are, technically, part of the YouTube Data API, and calls to those methods also incur quota costs. As such, API methods for live streaming are also listed in the table.
