Developer APIs

YouTube offers access to the YouTube video repository and community features via a GoogleData ("GData") API.

Please Note: All links to the API documentation below lead to English-only sites.

• Share solutions on the YouTube API Developer Forum
• Keep updated with the Developer API Blog

Legacy API Information

The older API is officially deprecated. If you're developing new projects on the YouTube platform, you should use the new API to ensure support.

See the migration guide for more information about updating websites or applications based on the legacy API.
