How do I increase my daily quota limit for uploading videos through youtube api?

I am working for a news channel which uploads 50 videos per day. I have integrated youtube api on the website for the same purpose. There seems to be a quota limit of 6 videos per day. Is there any way I can purchase or get more quota limit? What is the process and charges for increasing the quota limit.
The only way of obtaining a quota extension for your application is that of addressing Google directly.
There's this form that you'll have to fill in. Than wait for response -- which, according to the experience of users of this forum, doesn't arrive shortly.
I haven't worked with uploading videos but you should be able to ask for additional quotas for google apis on the IAM & ADMIN console view under Quotas (there should be a link from the developer dashboard under Quotas. Once there just select the quota you would like to change and submit a request.
Having said that, I have no experience with this process, so I don't know what is the involved in approving such a requests nor what kind of costs be involved.

Youtube API - Storing data for more than 30 days

I'm using the YouTube Data API v3 to insert videos from my website to my youtube channel. It is all working fine. Youtube gives 10000 queries per day limit and I requested to extend the quota as one video upload takes about 1607 queries and hence my limit for uploading videos is 6.
The response I received from YouTube is that my API Client is in violation of Youtube's policy fo storing data. They have mentioned that
store_youtube_api_length: twelve months
and they want it to be set to under 30 days.
I have searched the google console for this setting but I'm unable to find it. I have asked Youtube and they have brushed off the request saying they are part of YT compliance team.
Can somebody here help me find it.
Responding to the YouTube API Services confirming our data retention policy was under the month limit fixed this for us. It was just an internal policy agreement, no setting to update.

YouTube API: Costs for a higher quota?

I need a higher daily quota for the Google API / YouTube API.
So I want to sign up for the free trial, but I can't seem to find any costs for that in the Google Cloud: https://cloud.google.com/pricing/list
Am I missing a major part here?
I had the same question and I didn't find a price list. When you enable a Youtube Data API in your google console you can go to section quotas for this API and set quota to value from 1 to 1 million. If you need more, you should do a manual request to Google through filling a special form, accessible by a link.
Here you can find the Quota Usage for Youtube API

If you reach the quota limit, you can request additional quota on the Quotas tab in the Developer's Console.

Youtube API does loadVideoById(videoId) affect quota

Not sure based on the docs whether the method loadVideoById(videoId) incurs any quota cost.
Would this equal a one quota cost or not?
Also, in this post:
How to Play a Playlist using YouTube JavaScript API
The first answer by jbx, does this answer require any quota (playing a playlist, no searching).
You probably would not affect your quota, if you are just using Youtube IFrame API. This would only add up to your quota if you will be using Youtube Data API (to get such as videos, playlists, and channels), Youtube Analytics and Youtube Reporting.
These APIs will be needing API Key or OAuth 2.0 client IDs to function (Credentials, access, security, and identity).
A related SO question also said, that "there is no API key needed and no quota limit specified in any documents or developer console."
Hope this helps!
