I have a question regarding the quota of the youtube data api. Currently I am getting all videos from a youtube channel I own (about 50 videos), using the youtube data api via react native.
When I check the quota, I see 100 queries used, and I know it is my own, but what I don't understand is why already 100 and not 1. Can someone explain why that is? Because in that way the quota (per day) is gone soon.
Thanks.
Isn't it that you use the Search.list endpoint? This is known (see the linked doc) to be quite expensive: each call of it has a quota cost of 100 units! I suspect that you do confuse the 100 units of quota cost of one query with an actual number of 100 queries each of one unit cost.
Update:
Since confirming that you use the Search.list endpoint, I recommend to replace it with an inexpensive one: the PlaylistItems.list endpoint queried appropriately that have a quota cost of only 3 units. For that go see my answer to a related question.
