I wanted to automate the task of posting of community posts on my channel. While going through Youtube Data (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs), I couldn't find any such request.
Could you please guide me if this request is available in youtube API? Also If not, how feasible it would be to accomplish this task using web automation i.e. selenium etc. framework.

We are building an application that manages video campaigns on DV 360. It includes uploading and changing a lot of YouTube videos on a daily basis.
We found that the YT Data API allows us to upload about 5 videos daily before we exhaust the API quota. We requested an extension via the public form. But there is no public information about the SLA for that form or how to get additional Dev support with the API. Which we will need, as our use case is different from the typical API user (apparently).
Has anybody gone through this process successfully and/or found a way to get Dev Support from Google for the YouTube Data API?
Thanks!
Your questions are indeed very much pertinent.
I can state -- based on my experience monitoring the tags youtube-data-api and youtube-api for more than three years -- that there's no official info related to SLAs and Dev Support here on SO.
The YouTube Data API is officially a free of charge API. But that does not exclude the possibility of Google offering this API under different conditions to clients willing to pay for the services provided to them.
I'd recommend to address your issues directly to Google, either through its own issue tracker site, or through its own support forum.
Basically, i want to get analytic reports through YouTube API by using Python. After hours searching how to make it happend. I am known that YouTube just supporting API through their graphical design, which is really limited.
Please advised me, is there any way to get daily/weekly/monthly report by using Python?
FYI, at the moment, i am using YouTube's service to automatically update the reports into my database which is BigTable.
I want to develop some stuff with the twitter streaming API and twitter4j in university. I read now about shutting down the share-count API (https://blog.twitter.com/2015/hard-decisions-for-a-sustainable-platform). Will this effect the twitter streaming API and how it works in any way? Because I need this service for at least 6 month.
The Share-Count and the Streaming API do not cross paths, actually you can obtain the share-count from the Streaming API data as suggested in this post.
Since they are discontinuing that service, it will have no effect on the data that you're able to obtain from the Streaming API so it won't effect the progress of your project.
As far as GNIP goes, that's overkill, it should not have been suggested at all. For research base, especially during initial stages and possibly later phases, the Streaming API will provide you with excellent amount of data. You can even request a limit increase through Twitter's Sale Department but it's up to them to make the final decision. They can be contacted at data-sales#twitter.com
Share count and streaming are totally separate APIs.
If you need guaranteed access, I suggest paying for Twitter's GNIP service - https://www.gnip.com/
I have seen many examples where a search task was launched from application but no examples where application could get some info back from that task.
For example, is it possible to get a list of found sites or URL that user have chosen in task (instead of navigating user to that URL)?
There is no built-in API in WP8 that would allow getting the results of a web search into your app. You should use a 3rd party framework for that.
Bing has an official Web API you can use for that but it starts costing money after 10,000 API calls per month. You can read more about it # https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/5BA839F1-12CE-4CCE-BF57-A49D98D29A44
Note that Bing did use to have a proper C# API with API keys and what not, but V2.0 of that API has been depercated in favour of the new Azure Data Marketplace service.
Google doesn't have an API for search results. But for the past few years developers have used Google's AJAX webservice to get those. See a C# code sample # http://answers.oreilly.com/topic/2165-how-to-search-google-and-bing-in-c/
Is there a way to get YouTube audience retention data of a particular video via API? This doesn't seem to be available via API (even in youtube experimental API). Any other way, like parsing the UI data or contacting Youtube to get this data?
Or any idea whether this data will be available via API in near future?
It's a common feature request that we've heard from developers, and there's a good chance that it will be added. I don't have any specific details to share about when that might happen, though.
Your best bet is to file a formal feature request and we'll track things there.
