We are using an existing YouTube API before YouTube live events. Generally, our API query is as follows:
{https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?
q=football+-soccer
&orderby=published
&start-index=11
&max-results=10
&v=2}
Is there any way I can filter out live events? I am unable to find any such filter.

I am using youtube api and some videos, which I am fetching are for YouTube premium. How can I filter them from not fetching these videos?
As always YouTube Data API v3 doesn't provide a basic feature: is a given video a premium one?
I would recommend you to use my open-source YouTube operational API. Indeed by requesting https://yt.lemnoslife.com/videos?part=isPremium&id=VIDEO_ID you'll receive a JSON where item['isPremium'] is a boolean stating whether or not the given video is a premium one.
With that you will be able to filter premium videos in search results with an additional call to my API.
I have read the documentation on YouTube - Analytics and Reporting APIs and I am able to extract analytics data being a channel owner or content owner. Is there an API to extract metrics about a video which I do not own in Youtube?
Using Youtube metrics requires authorization so I don't think that's entirely possible. But, if you just want to query about a random video's viewCount, likeCount, dislikeCount, favoriteCount, and commentCount, you can use videos.list and provide statistics as the part parameter.
I'm currently using the YouTube Data API v3 for videos and I'd like to get pricing information from the API. I couldn't find anything regarding that in the API. Is there another API for this kind of information that I'm not aware of or some undocumented parameter?
Here's an example request to get information about a movie that can be rented and bought on YouTube:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?key=API_KEY_HERE&part=snippet&id=wz43PZMOrAM
There's a price visible on the site itself but no trace of it in the API:

Thanks!
This is beyond the Youtube Data API's scope. You can't fetch that information using the Youtube API yet.
Meerkat allows access to all its live broadcasts via REST API. Does YouTube's live streaming API allow the same? I can see that they allow CRUD through the API for a particular user. My question is can I access all live broadcasts with the API?
You can use the Search/list endpoint of the regular YouTube v3 API and filter the results to only receive live content. Make sure to pass in the following parameters:
part -> snippet
eventType -> live
type -> video (required when setting eventType to live)
The full get request:
HTTP GET https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&eventType=live&type=video&key={YOUR_API_KEY}
I have a C# program I wrote using the Youtube API V3 that manages my channel's videos.
I already have all the OAuth 2.0 stuff sorted out and I'm looking for a way to tell Youtube that the authenticated account watched the video.
The reason being that I use the "watched" feature to determine which of the videos in my feed is the last one I actually watched.
Is there a way to do that?
Or is it purposefully not in the API because it messes with the view count?
Of course I checked Google and Google's API reference first, didn't find anything.
