liveChatMessages docs defines userBannedEvent as one of the message types, but response data contains only LiveChatMessages with type textMessageEvent.
The question is, can I get userBannedEvents from requests to YouTube API?
Looks like this is a currently known issue with no provided workaround as of the moment. This Reddit thread is from a year ago, but upon looking around, there doesn't seem to be any update so far. From the thread:
Yes, this is a known issue. We don't send userBannedEvent, messageRetractedEvent or messageDeletedEvent through the API right now.

A few days that the youtube api stop to show a livestream videos, is this error only on my api key? if does, is there any other way to find a livestream videos?
I googled if there any message from youtube about this, and i didn't find.

You are not alone.
It's broken for everybody, unfortunately, and it's been this way for over ten days now. As with all Google services, human support and feedback is non-existent, not even an acknowledgement of the issue.
Ref.: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/14611425
As a workaround, I had to change the logic to use the q parameter along with eventType=live. This actually works, and, depending on keywords, can also return a whole lot of unrelated live material, which, I think, can be further filtered on the client. This also seems to incur higher quota usage.
Well, I guess the issue is you try to use a meta-channel. UC4R8DWoMoI7CAwX8_LjQHig refers to what you get when you click on live in the menu, but this only "sums up" what's live, it isn't a real channel itself. Just strip the channelId parameter you should get all active live streams (only tested at reference page https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list but got me 14.5k at time of try).

I am trying to retrieve a comment on a video by comment ID using the youtube v3 data api.
Here's the documentation part I am concerned with: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/comments#resource
In the resource documentation, there's a property called "videoId" that I don't get when using this API call:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/comments?part=snippet,id&key={YOUR_KEY_HERE}&id=z13cdfiygorrst1f422fuzi5eqevcdwsf
Edit: I have already been trying working around this problem to no avail, also started an issue on google issue tracker to no answer. As far as I know, the youtube-data-api tag is where the developers track the issues in the API.
I am not sure why the comments endpoint does not return the videoId, but the commentThreads does.
So calling https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/commentThreads?part=snippet,id&key={YOUR_KEY_HERE}&id=z13cdfiygorrst1f422fuzi5eqevcdwsf and parsing the result to get the proper comment in the comment threads (that includes replies) seems like a reasonable workaround...
I used to get exhange rate from yahoo finance api by javascript with following url:
http://finance.yahoo.com/webservice/v1/symbols/jpy=x,eur=x/quote?format=json
but now it no longer work! I have search on the net but no luck.
Any help would be great, Thank!
Update: it is working if open with chrome mobile
Yes, it seems like Yahoo! has discontinued the (private, mostly-undocumented) Yahoo Finance API that many have been using for their currency data. All responses seem to be returning "Not a valid parameter". I suppose there's a chance they may switch it back on, but they don't officially support that API anywhere as far as I can tell.
I created Open Exchange Rates about five years ago, and our exchange rate API now supports a community of tens of thousands of developers - and their tens of millions of users - with accurate, up-to-date information.
Please feel welcome to check out our Forever Free service at https://openexchangerates.org.
Our API is in a simple, original JSON format, which has actually caught on as a standard method for displaying rates because it's so simple to work with (unlike the Yahoo API, which required you to parse the obscure nested objects to pull out the basic info you needed...)
If you need assistance porting from the deprecated Yahoo! API, we'll be happy to assist via email.

indrakula is right, and their response helped me, but...
I also needed to retrieve exchange rate tickers (i.e. USDGBP=X). This was not trivial, and I had to do some searching. The URL format in this case is http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=CURRENCY%3aUSDGBP. This URL returns a JSON body and not something else as the alternative URLs mentioned in one of the comments for that reply. Also note the link with the parameter descriptions seems to be out-of-date, but I found most of them are self-explanatory. So don't rely on that link.
Note: I wanted to post this as a comment to indrakula's answer, but one needs 50 reputation to comment! I'm new! I tried to submit this as an edit to their answer but it was (rightly) refused.

It seems that the YouTube API doesn't give updated results for mostPopular videos in my country since few days.
Example:
This request (https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=snippet,contentDetails&chart=mostpopular®ionCode=FR) doesn't give me the same videos results than the ones displayed directly on YouTube for the French most popular channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmzy72gDEpfXoFV9Xdtd0DQ). It seems that the results of this request is not updated since the 1th of february. Results was real time updated before this.
Does someone know if something is wrong with my API request, or if there are some issues with the YouTube API at this moment?
There is nothing wrong with your request. This is a known issue with the YouTube API reported here for Saudi Arabia (but also applicable to multiple regions), and another related issue here with regard to content from France.
Your best bet would be to follow up with the YouTube team on one of those defects, or potentially (and dangerously) scrape the YouTube site for the correct results.
Problem seems to be solved since 13th of february (maybe someone from Google have seen my post..)
YouTube Channels and chart=mostPopular parameter data are separate data entities, aka you will get different results. They may be related but there is no guarantee you will get the same data. To get the data that you want you may need to query for channel itself and its videos.
I got this information from the thread #Jal linked, there was an update by matthewc...#google.com a few days ago:
The most popular channel for Saudia
Arabia and
the mostPopular chart parameter in the video.list
call
are separate and distinct entities. If you'd like to get the content
of the most popular channel for Saudia
Arabia
please use the Data API video.list call to list the videos with the
channel ID (in this case "UCWY-_j1MCth6yf24m58Bh_Q") by setting the
items/snippet/channelId parameter.
My current concern right now is that there is supposedly a way to get video information from the videos.list endpoint using a channelId, which does not seem the case in the API Explorer. I will update my answer once I figure out what this person meant exactly.

Google Youtube API for commentThreads does not return any data today afternoon . Does anyone know what the issue is?
It used to have data like this, how ever I copied the same request and resend again today,[It shows no value at all][2]
I check my ratelimit, and it is not exceeded. Does any one have the same issue here?
(Edit: The issue was also reported on the google bug tracker, but Google documentation indicates that StackOverflow is to be used for support questions. This definitely affects more than a few people)
Its already reported as issue to Google:

You can star it and wait for notification
