Note:The YouTube Content ID API is intended for use by YouTube content partners and is not accessible to all developers or to all YouTube users. If you do not see the YouTube Content ID API as one of the services listed in the Google API Console
, see the YouTube Help Center
to learn more about the YouTube Partner Program.
Google API client libraries, which are available for many programming languages, can greatly simplify your YouTube Content ID API implementation.
In the following tables, the first column shows each library's stage of development (note that
some are in early stages), and links to documentation for the library. The second column links to
available samples for each library.
These early-stage libraries are also available:
It's recommended to use the client libraries from above, but for PHP there are also pre-generated API bindings available here
