For example, Discord can read what kind of lobby you are in Fortnite and what's your progress on missions called "Battlepass". Same with League of Legends and many other games I assume.
Discord does not read memory of games, or at least not directly.
Rather, game developers can implement the rich presence API from Discord to provide that information.
You can look at the official documentation

For an application we are building we would like to create a feature that provides some related videos to the content the user is viewing. I thought that would be as easy as just understanding how YouTube API work but apparently there's a very strict limitation in terms of quota.
YouTube provides 10.000 points and if I had to implement the idea with a search endpoint that would mean just 100 searches per day. One can always ask for a quota extension, but there are no rules, pricing or certainty of extension.
Is there any other way I can provide the users with some related YouTube videos? Should I be faithful in quota extension and stick to 100 searches for now?
I would like to get in touch with someone from Google to ask them if there is a chance a quota extension and how much would that be given the feature we want to build before actually building it. Is there a way to do it?
YouTube recently forced everyone to the new YouTube studio for live streaming. Per their documentation here https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2853812?hl=en the only place to setup Multiple Camera angles is on the Events page. However, since their change I can't access Classic Streaming anymore, it just pop ups a message saying
Live Control Room is the new way to go live.
I've tried reaching out to YouTube directly - I'm stuck in a support loop of uselessness. Has anyone else seen this and found a workaround?
Direct email from YouTube:
I just want to make all a clarification regarding your concern why you can't find to stream with multiple camera angles.
Due because of low usage and since it can't be watched on mobile,
multi-camera won't migrate to Live Control Room right now. Rest
assured we are looking for a better version of this product in the
near future.
We also recommend you to send a feedback to our Product team so they
can look into your suggestion.
Thanks for your understanding on this matter. Let me know if you have
other questions.
I am the owner of an educational YouTube Channel with tens of thousands of short videos. I would like to get some more organic reach by implementing end screen cards on all videos that are already posted. Unfortunately, Youtube does not have a built-in feature to bulk-apply end screen cards.
This leads people to go to paid services such as TubeBuddy and VidIQ to gain that functionality. Unfortunately, due to the size of my channel, I am in no position to pay for these apps and so would like to use my programming knowledge to implement the functionality myself.
Note: VidIQ does have free bulk copy however I am limited to only updating the latest 3000 videos, of which only 2000 successfully updated since many of my videos don't have matching aspect ratios.
I've tried to look for an answer on google and on StackOverflow without success. From these three questions...
How to add end screen with YouTube Data API?
Is possible to add annotations or a 'end screen' to a video when i'm uploading it using Java youtube api?
Youtube upload API Card end
... you would guess that it is impossible to do this but how is it done by TubeBuddy and vidIQ then? I highly suggest not reiterating the answers in the above three questions as it is possible since there are already multiple apps that implement it. The reason behind youtube tag is that it's most fitting however the answer can be anything from automation software to any specialized language imaginable I just simply cannot find any leads.
Is there a way to (paid or unpaid) to increase the 5,000,000 units/day quota limit imposed when using version 3 of the YouTube API?
I have read that a video upload alone uses 16,000 units - this equates to only ~312 videos a day.
I have signed up for 'billing' but still don't get an option to increase from the "courtesy limit" of 5 million.
Yes, there is an elaborate form for applying for higher quota.
It is linked in the developer console for example at: http://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/youtube-json.googleapis.com/quotas?project=YOURPROJECTID
The form starts off with some statements:
This Application will ask you detailed questions about:
(i) your business, (ii) your use of each YouTube API (current and
proposed use, as applicable), and (iii) each of your website or
software application that uses or will use YouTube API(s) (each an
“API Client”).
This application also requires you to submit screenshots and design
documents relating to your API Client(s) and your use of YouTube
API(s). If you do not have these ready, please apply once these are
available.
We will strive to respond to your application as soon as possible,
provided that, all required supporting materials are submitted and
sufficient, and all questions are thoroughly answered.
Note: Please do not apply for more quota unless you are actually close to hitting your current limit.
There is a Form but they do not approve extra quota at the moment. Maybe in the future. Best would be to contact your Google Account Manager (If you have one assigned)
