I am using Youtube Zend GDATA API, I want to know the exact limit of the API calls i make to Youtube. And also tell me what is the procedure they follow if limit is exceed?
Thanks in advance.
They don't say direct numbers, only that a quota limit exists. However, I believe your app has to have a huge amount of usage to exceed the limits.

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?
There are only 10000 Quota YouTube Data API provide. It is completely to upload video. How much about the fee about extend quota. I didn't see the fee list from API reference. Once other watch our live, does it cost quota?
There is no fee for extending quota just apply for it.
I recommend using the Query calculator for determining how much quota you will need
The cost is based upon the calls you make to the API so how much it will cost will depend upon how your application works and what calls you are making
We have developed a news website. Partners are allowed to submit articles (video articles) via a dedicated form.
We want the videos to be hosted on Youtube then embedded on the website.
We have a working prototype.
The problem is the Youtube API Quota. Youtube offers 10k units per day. An upload costs 1600, which basically means after 6 videos, we can't use the API.
We've tried to click on the button to increase the quota from the console, but the max value is 10k (which makes no sense btw).
We've filled the dedicated form multiple time, we've contacted our former Youtube sales guy who said couldn't help. We even managed to have a Google representative on the phone who said he didn't know how it works and that we should discuss that with Youtube directly.
Does anyone know how to proceed? We're willing to pay the extra units, but even for that, we can't find the proper procedure.
Most of websites and threads dealing with the issue are old one when quotas were very high.
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)

Very simple question: is there a limit to how many applications a Twitter account can have? There doesn't appear to be, which is strange given the fairly stringent rate-limits
I dont think theres a limit. I had a look around their docs and they are more limiting the apps themselves eg. the amount of times those apps pull data from twitter ect.
Have you hit limit or is this just speculation?
