Is the functionality of setting a video as a Premiere available in the API? Either on Upload or an Existing video
Setting a video as a premiere has been available for a good while now: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9080341?hl=en
It's not defined in the API documentation, and the ability to read if a video is a premiere is a bit fuzzy. Ref: Finding premieres through Youtube API and How to identify if a video is a Premiere? ...via the YouTube API
I can send the same settings to read videos as a premiere to the API, but the end result isn't a Premiere. Am I missing something?

On YouTube we have uploads of recorded videos, live streams, and now also Premieres.
Using the Videos: list endpoint of the YouTube Data API we can distinguish recorded videos from live streams by calling the endpoint with the liveStreamingDetails part. If details are given then it is a live stream. If not then it is a regular upload of a recorded video.
This approach doesn’t help me with identifying Premieres. They appear as if they were live streams. At least with the endpoint above I see no difference between live streams and Premieres.
Is there any way to check if a video is in fact a Premiere? I have the video id and want to achieve this by calling any of YouTube’s APIs.
Edit: The way I implemented this, I look for snippet.liveBroadcastContent, which is either 'upcoming', 'live' or 'none'.
This way you can identify if a video is currently a premiere, or the premiere has ended and it's a regular video.
I checked for the youtube live streaming api and it provides the facility for stream the video over the youtube.
But how can we access it in the development?
How can we use this api (youtube live streaming) and stream the video in the youtube?
You will have to enable "Live" streaming feature in your account. Looks like you will have to be eligible to have it enabled.

If its enables, you can push your pre-recorded video files/live video to the google's publishing point. For that you can use any supported media encoders. More info can be read here on how to set it up.

Once thats setup, you can stream events as if its a real live event !
I'm developing an application in which I would like to play YouTube audio stream (without video). Does it violate any term of service of YouTube?
Thanks in advance.
Here's a link to the YouTube API terms of service:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms
The answer to your question is in section II, parts 8 and 9, stating it is prohibited to:
separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API;
promote separately the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API;
So it's a no-go, unfortunately.
As per current documentation liking a video can be done by adding video into likes playlist.
Is there any way to dislike a video with Youtube data api v3.0.
There's no way to dislike (equivalent to the "thumbs down" UI option on the watch page) using the YouTube Data API v3 at this time.
Is there any way to detect if a video was removed or unavailable?
We need to have ability to remove it from the video listing if it has been removed from youtube server.
Hung BUI if you are using youtube API there is a way to filter the video which has been removed or not availble in your locality.
Kindly watch this video and seek it to 2m:03s, The tutor will say how to filter the unavailable and restricted video,..
Youtube Video on YOUTUBE search API
Use a parameter format and restriction along with the youtube api endpoint
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?q=GoogleDevelopers&max-results=1&v=2.1&alt=jsonc&format=5&restriction=DE
If you hit this endpoint of youtube you can get a set of youtube videos which can be embedded as well as we can check whether the video is restricted in our locality.
