Has the YouTube Product Dashboard stopped updating? - youtube-api

For years I have used the YouTube Product Dashboard to view statistics for our app, but it seems to have stopped getting updates since January 16, 2013. We are using version 2 of the YouTube API.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or can anyone shed some light on what's going on?

It appears to be broken at the moment. I've let the teams responsible know about it.
(As per this blog post, a better place to report outages and bugs with the API is the issue tracker, not Stack Overflow.)

Onenote API (once again) not returning new pages

As of yesterday, it appears that the Onenote /pages endpoint is not working properly for my account. The data returned for the first two pages is recent, however all other pages and their respective HTML content links are last updated as of Feb 28th 2020. Additionally, some of the pages showing up as "last edited" on Feb 28th 2020 are pages that I know for a fact have not been edited for months (place holders, old projects, etc.)
I have described a similar problem before: here and here. Such a problem was also described by another recently. Upon resolution of those issues, Manjusha stated that it was because of a "bad machine cluster causing jobs to get stuck" and therefore delaying updates. While this suffices to explain the delay, the inaccurate edit dates on page does not seem to be accounted for.
Any updates on the issue or insight into what is happening would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE Mar. 5th 2020: Using the graph explorer, I can see that the pages endpoint is returning the same out-date response again and again. Basically, it is frozen in that state from what I can see.
I'm sorry to say this, especially at such a stressful time. However, the reliability of the pages endpoint has been up in the air for months. Working sometimes, not working at others. Personally, this has forced me to rebuild my personal programs so they do not rely on OneNote and reconsider using OneNote in professional settings where new pages are being made regularly. The sum total of this has been to cease development and usage of the OneNote API. Just a bit of feedback. I know your team works hard and these issues are complex - I hope this clears up for you soon.
Can you send the request-id header from the response and your request timestamp? Thanks!

Youtube Data API v3: Sort by date not working

The sorting is not working as expected since a few hours.
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?order=date&part=snippet&channelId=UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw&key=YOUR_API_KEY
Can be tried in the API explorer (Execute without OAuth) as well.
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/youtube.search.list?part=snippet&channelId=UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw&order=date
date: Resources are sorted in reverse chronological order based on the date they were created.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list
What is going wrong?
In case you are looking to get the latest videos of a channel:
Get the channels upload playlist from Channels
Get the latest videos in the channels upload playlist from PlaylistItems
Alternatively, you can use the channels RSS feed:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id={ChannelId}
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?user={User}
This does not replace the full search sorted by date function however.
Thanks YouTube for making me work on a Sunday, all I wanted was to watch the latest videos from my favorite channels. At least I don't have to wait for a fix anymore, good luck to those less lucky!
Reports in Google's forum were commented by a Google employee:

YouTube is aware the search/sorting functions aren't working as expected – this is temporary and part of our efforts to better respond, review and remove graphic, violative content from YouTube. Thanks for your patience while we work through this. Will update this thread when these features are working normally again, feel free to subscribe for updates.
Bug reports for this include:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/128673031
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/128673552
Both have an official comment from Google:
Thank you all for bringing this up here. These specific filters have been currently disabled on both YouTube.com and through the APIs. We should have updates on this soon. Thanks again.
Not sure how credible that is:
Just confirming that this is only temporary, and related to YouTube's efforts to better respond, review and remove graphic, violative content from YouTube. Thanks for your patience while we work through this.

Has the beta api stopped delivering columnset or is it just me

Yesterday I received data on the rest api using expand=columnset when I was resting against sharepoint listitems... today I'm not. I know its beta, but can't seem to get my listitem data expanded. Anyone experiencing the same?
I can't find anything regarding this out there.
Here is the url I use:
https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/sharepoint/sites/{siteid}/lists/{listid}/Items?expand=columnSet
result:
Do you now where I can find info on builds for the beta api?
Best regards Ole
got this from github post: solution is coming this or next week. https://github.com/microsoftgraph/microsoft-graph-docs/issues/1137#issuecomment-299263019

YouTube Cards API

I am wondering if anybody has any information or news regarding the API (if it exists yet?) of the new YouTube Cards (replacing the old annotations).
Is there any beta api information out yet?
I'm referring to this:
Thank you for your help
You can track the YouTube Developer Blog and also subscribe to the revision history of YouTube Data API v3, in order to get the latest info on the API, as soon as it is available. Currently (as of the last version of the API - April 27, 2015) there is no way to manage Cards, and I suspect that there would not be, at least not anytime soon.
I think so because currently even annotations are not fully supported by YouTube Data API v3 (they only added support for setting invideo annotations in v3). I suppose there is a specific reason that this feature has been missing for so long- maybe they don't want to unleash it because they foresee some problems that may arise if they do. It has been requested numerous times in the past by the community (See the last posts in this thread, where a YouTube representative has answered, also this question).
I'll investigate further to see if I can find any more info on future revisions of the API and will update my answer. Meanwhile, you can submit a feature request for Card Management API here. Good luck!

Does the YouTube API Geolocation Search Work?

The YouTube API documentation says that I should be able to search for videos by location, within a specified radius. This does not appear to work.
There is even an official forum post showing how this can be done.
Yet calling a simple example like
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?v=2&alt=json&location=51.5032025,-0.1273598!&location-radius=10km
Returns 0 results.
There should be some videos that tourists have uploaded of London!
So, is it still possible to get a list of videos tagged with location metadata?
It's not currently working (tested on April 12, 2013). According to
GData issue 4234 "a change in the YouTube search index is preventing location-based searches from returning results"
The estimated fix is going to take longer than the mid-April 2013 time frame initially expected.
I eagerly anticipate the resolution. I'd suggest clicking the star on that issue page so you'll get updates when comments are added, etc.
Update: On April 16, 2013 the issue was updated stating "The current estimate is restoring this functionality in the second half of 2013." Also, their API documentation was updated to reflect the issue.
Geolocation search is deprecated temporarily and expected to be up again in near future.
This was due to another launch, documentation is about to be refreshed. It will also be back up soon.
This is now working. See the documentation for v3
