YouTube API quota limits and applications that scale

Question

I am currently working on an application that requires downloading videos via youtube. I plan to share the video in the application using the youtube API. According to the documentation, “about 16,000 units” is required for video sharing on youtube, with each application having an additional quota of 5 million allowing aprox. 312 videos per day.

This application will have thousands of users, so the "additional" quota limit will certainly not be enough, the following message will appear in the application’s toolbar when you click "Request more ...": "We do not approve the Quota Requests".

Obviously, there are many applications with millions of users, such as Social Camera or Talking Tom, that exceed the extra quota.

So my question is: how can an application increase its quota? If paid for pricing structure?

Answer 1

In fact, now within a few days, the cost of the quota for downloading a video is about 1600 for downloading a video. And the quota limit is also reduced by 100,000 per day. To download 312 videos per day can cost 312 * 1600 = 499200. Which is less than 100,000 quota limits. But if you want more videos to be uploaded, you can increase the data limit without knowing php knowledge.

$rand_keys = array_rand($num); $comm=$num[$rand_keys]; 

Where $ num is an array containing keys, no matter how much you want. Each new request proceeds to the next api key. By making 10 keys, you can get 10 times more than the limit. In other words, you must apply for quotas.
