YouTube Data API added batch video stats method
What this means for creators
For channels with automation that calls Data API video-statistics endpoints, the new batchGetStats method consolidates lookups into a single batched request. Code that issues multiple videos.list calls can switch to reduce quota usage. Channels without Data API automation are not affected.
The YouTube Data API now supports a new method, videos.batchGetStats, that retrieves a list of video statistics matching the request parameters.
Calls to videos.batchGetStats cost 1 quota unit and use their own granular quota bucket.
The default quota for videos.batchGetStats is 10,000 units per day.
