Discovery API monitoring and real-time diff analysis for YouTube Data API.
Never miss an API update, method deprecation, or breaking change in YouTube Data API.
The `ThumbnailDetails` schema now includes a new `shortsAspectRatio` property, providing access to 9:16 aspect ratio thumbnails specifically for YouTube Shorts. This allows developers to better display Shorts content.
The `imageUrl` property in `CommentSnippet` is now read-only, meaning developers can no longer set it. Additionally, several media upload endpoints now accept a broader range of content types.
The YouTube Data API v3 has undergone significant breaking changes. The `postId` parameter and properties have been removed from comments and comment threads. Additionally, `favorite` and `like` activity types and their associated schemas are no longer available. On a positive note, the `subscription` activity type is no longer deprecated.
The videos.getRating method now supports the youtube.readonly scope, allowing for more restricted access to rating data.
A significant update to the YouTube Data API v3 enforces strict requirements for core parameters and marks several video statistic fields as read-only. Developers must update their requests to include mandatory fields like part, id, and channelId.
