class="note"><b>Note:</b> The new <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/developer-policies-guide">Complying with the YouTube Developer Policies</a> guide provides guidance and examples to help you ensure that your API clients adhere to specific portions of the YouTube API Services <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/api-services-terms-of-service">Terms</a> and <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/developer-policies">Policies</a> (API TOS). This guidance offers insight into how YouTube enforces certain aspects of the API TOS but does not replace any existing documents.</p> <p>This document (the "<b>YouTube API Services Policies</b>" or "<b>Policies</b>") sets out the policies that you need to follow when accessing or using <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a> in your service, product, or application. These Policies help you access and use <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a> in ways that are consistent with YouTube's interests and that respect and foster the growth of YouTube's community of creators, viewers, content rights holders, and advertisers.</p> <p>In addition to defining policies, this document explains some of the underlying principles that YouTube followed in creating these Policies. It also offers examples that demonstrate how these Policies would apply in practice.</p> <p>Please note that this is a legal document and that these Policies are a component of the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-agreement">Agreement</a>, so you must comply with them. YouTube reserves the right to change these Policies, and your continued access to, or use of, <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a> constitutes your agreement to and acceptance of any such changes. Policy changes, like changes to the YouTube API Services <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-terms-of-service">Terms of Service</a>, will be documented in the <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/revision-history">Terms of Service Revision History</a>, and you can subscribe to the <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/static/youtube/terms/feeds/api-services-terms-of-service-revision-history.xml">RSS feed</a> for that revision history to be notified of any such changes.</p> <h2 id="i.-terminology-and-style" data-text="I. Terminology and style">I. Terminology and style</h2> <p>This is a legal document that specifies policies about allowed or prohibited actions. As such, it uses certain terms to specifically indicate whether you can or cannot do something. With that in mind, the following terms are used to explain your requirements as related to these Policies:</p> <ol> <li>The terms <b>must</b> and required refer to absolute requirements.</li> <li>The term <b>must not</b> refers to an absolute prohibition.</li> <li>The terms <b>should</b>, <b>should not</b>, <b>recommend</b>, and <b>recommended</b> indicate that the statement describes a general best practice. While these terms suggest certain actions or behaviors, they acknowledge that you might decide to follow a different course based on specific aspects of your use case.</li> <li>The term <b>may</b> indicates that an action is optional and left entirely to your discretion or, depending on the context in which it is used, to YouTube's discretion.</li> </ol> <p>In addition, the <a href="#iv-definitions">Definitions</a> section that concludes this document identifies other terms that have a very specific meaning when used in this document. For your convenience, this document uses a special style for those terms to so that you can easily identify them in context and link to their definitions.</p> <h2 id="ii.-software-development-principles" data-text="II. Software Development Principles">II. Software Development Principles</h2> <p>These principles underlie many of the policies in this document. Even though they might not cover every policy, if you violate or your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> violate any of these principles, you are likely also violating the terms of the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-agreement">Agreement</a>. That said, if local law requires you to do something other than what is stated in these policies -- for example, to store data for a particular length of time -- you should comply with that law.</p> <ol> <li> <p><b>Build high-quality applications and maintain them.</b></p> <p>Build stable, easy-to-use, feature-rich <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> that bring significant additional value to the YouTube ecosystem and its users. Promptly update <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> as the features offered in <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a> change.</p> </li> <li> <p><b>Be honest and transparent.</b></p> <p>This principle applies to all facets of <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> and the way that they interact with users as well as with YouTube. In keeping with this principle, be clear about who you are and what your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> does. Don't engage in any deceptive activity or messaging related to your identity, your data collection, storage, sharing, use and deletion practices, actions that your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> takes on users' behalf, or anything else. Be honest and do not mislead or confuse users in the way you use and present data.</p> </li> <li> <p><b>Give users control.</b></p> <p>Building on the importance of transparency, this principle dictates that users must be aware of and have actively consented to the actions that an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> takes on their behalf. It means that users know about and have final authority over any actions the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> takes to insert, share, update, or delete their data. It also means that each <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must provide a privacy policy that clearly informs users about the information that the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> accesses, collects, stores, shares, and otherwise uses.</p> </li> <li> <p><b>Respect users' privacy.</b></p> <p>Make sure that your data collection, storage, use, security, and deletion policies and practices protect users. Don't allow unauthorized access to, or use of, user data. Don't store user data indefinitely, and provide a clear, straightforward process for them to delete data in your possession. Finally, don’t, and do not make attempts to, request, collect, or store users' YouTube login credentials.</p> </li> <li> <p><b>Be a good citizen.</b></p> <p>Don't create <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> that encourage or enable people to abuse, threaten, or harass each other. Don't use, distribute, or promote viruses, spyware, malware, or other bad stuff. Don't break the law or encourage or enable others to do so. Hopefully, this is all common sense.</p> </li> </ol> <h2 id="iii.-general-developer-policies" data-text="III. General Developer Policies">III.

Implementing YouTube Features</h3> <ol> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must also comply with the <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/required-minimum-functionality">Requirements for Minimum Functionality for YouTube API Services</a> ("<b>RMF</b>"). In addition, <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not place any limitations on the YouTube functionality required by the RMF.</p> <p>For example, the RMF states that an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that enables users to upload videos to YouTube must enable those users to set a title for each uploaded video. YouTube's video title field has a maximum length of 100 characters, and an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must not set a shorter maximum length for that field.</p> </li> <li> <p>Any <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> feature that initiates a user action related to a YouTube resource must be:</p> <p><ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"> <li>clearly and unequivocally identifiable as a YouTube action,</li> <li>distinct and not mixed with your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client's</a> functionality, and</li> <li>clearly initiated by the user.</li> </ol></p> <p>Examples of YouTube resources include videos, channels, playlists, playlist items, and subscriptions. Examples of actions include playing a video, liking a video, adding a video to a playlist, and subscribing to a channel.</p> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> that perform write operations may suggest parameter or property values, but users must have final control over the data that will be published to <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-applications">YouTube Applications</a>. Similarly, <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not modify user-provided values before sending them to YouTube by truncating, appending, or otherwise altering those values unless the user has explicitly consented to such changes.</p> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> that suggest values for text fields, like video titles or descriptions, must incorporate relevant keywords into those values. For example an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that suggests video titles should not generate the same default titles for all users.</p> <p>These examples illustrate how this policy would apply to an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that uploads videos to YouTube:</p> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"> <li> <p>The <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> may suggest a video description or pre-populate the video description. However, it must not add information to the video description after it is submitted by the user and before it is sent without the user's prior consent. For example, the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must not append the recording date, <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> name, or any other text unless the user has explicitly consented to such changes.</p> </li> <li> <p>An <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> may provide an option to translate a video title to other languages. However, the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must not add any such translations without the user's consent. In addition, if the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client's</a> default behavior is to enable the option to translate the video title, it must clearly present to the user an easy way to disable that behavior.</p> </li> </ol> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must clearly indicate how user-provided data will be used on YouTube.</p> <p>This policy is particularly relevant for <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> that interface with multiple services and platforms since there may be functional or labeling differences between those services and platforms.</p> <p>For example, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> enables users to add comments about videos to multiple platforms, including YouTube. Each platform uses a different name to refer to the comment text. So, if the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> labels the field "Feedback" in its comment form, it needs to clearly indicate that that value corresponds to the comment text on YouTube.</p> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> that use search functionality provided by <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a> must not modify or replace the text, images, information, or other content of, the search results returned by those Services.</p> <p>For example, <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not merge or intermix results from sources other than YouTube and present them as YouTube search results.</p> </li> <li> <p>An <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> should not limit or reduce the functionality of a YouTube feature unless that limitation is a core aspect (as described in the examples below) of the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> itself and that YouTube feature is not required by the RMF ("<b>Permitted Feature Limitation</b>").</p> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"> <li> <p><b>Example 1: Permitted Feature Limitation</b></p> <p>The YouTube Data API service allows a video uploader to provide translations of a video's title. Generally speaking, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that implements this feature should allow uploaders to translate video titles to any language that YouTube supports. However, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that is specifically designed to teach users to speak French and that offers a range of features specific to French translations might be justified in only offering users the option to upload French translations of video titles.</p> </li> <li> <p><b>Example 2: Non-permitted Feature Limitation</b></p> <p>A second <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> supports video uploading to YouTube and two other platforms, and all of those platforms allow the uploader to provide translations of the video's title. However, while YouTube supports more than 70 languages, the other two platforms each support half that number, and the three platforms support 25 languages in common. If the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> supports only those 25 languages for translation, then that is a non-permitted feature limitation because the limited set of language options is not a core aspect of the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a>. Instead, the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must offer the full range of languages that YouTube supports.</p> </li> </ol> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> with Permitted Feature Limitations must explain to users why each limitation is in place and make clear that the limitation is not imposed by YouTube. In many, if not all, cases, there are different ways that an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> could provide that information, and you should choose an appropriate method for your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a>. Within this explanation, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> should provide a mechanism for users to access the full feature (such as linking to YouTube Creator Studio or providing an expandable menu within the API Client).</p> <p>In the example 1 above, the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> could explain that video uploaders can add translations for other languages in the YouTube Creator Studio and provide a link to that functionality.</p> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> that offer features sourced from multiple services and platforms should offer feature parity to the extent that it exists across those sources, providing user choice. When <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> include features that are supported on YouTube and on other platforms, <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not consistently present YouTube features in a detrimental way (e.g., by only providing those features from other platforms).</p> <p>For example, suppose an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> allows users to upload videos to YouTube and three other platforms, and all of those platforms support the ability to upload captions. If the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> also supports caption uploading, then it must support that feature for YouTube.</p> </li> </ol> <h3 id="d.-accessing-youtube-api-services" data-text="D.

For example, the <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application">YouTube Data API service</a>, <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/reporting/guides/registering_an_application">YouTube Reporting API service</a>, <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/reporting/guides/registering_an_application">YouTube Analytics API service</a>, and <a href="/web/20230929224838/https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/register">Android Player API service</a> all document steps for creating <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a>. Those steps generally differ slightly from one API service to another. For example:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Some services only support authorized API requests, while others support authorized and non-authorized requests.</p> </li> <li> <p>Services often support multiple access scopes. Each scope specifies the resources that an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> can retrieve, insert, update, or delete on the user's behalf. Scopes enable <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> to only request access to the resources they need, and scopes also enable users to control the amount of access that they grant to those Clients.</p> </li> </ul> <p>The following policies also apply to access and use of <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a>:</p> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"> <li> <p>You must not mask or misrepresent your identity or your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client's</a> identity when accessing or using <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a> or when creating an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-project&quot;">API Project</a> or <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a>.</p> </li> <li> <p>You must only use <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a> assigned to you and to your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-project&quot;">API Project</a> to access <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a>. Similarly, you must not use any other means to mask or misrepresent your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client's</a> access to, or usage of, <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a>.</p> </li> <li> <p>If your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> needs to create <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a> to access or use <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a>, you must create exactly one (1) <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-project&quot;">API Project</a> for that <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a>. Those <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a> are intended to be used exclusively by the associated API Client, which means that you must not use that one (1) <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-project&quot;">API Project</a> for multiple <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a>.</p> </li> <li> <p>You may share your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a> with agents operating solely on your behalf and under a written duty of confidentiality. However, you must not share or disclose your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a> to any other third party, allow access to or use of your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a> by any other third party, or embed your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-credentials">API Credentials</a> in open source projects.</p> </li> </ol> </li> <li> <p>User Authentication and Authorization</p> <p>Authentication and authorization refer to the process by which users identify themselves and consent to allow an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> to access certain user-specific data. Some <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a> do not support access to user-specific data and therefore, do not require any authorization, others require authorization for some requests or data, and still others require authorization for all requests. For example:</p> <p><ul> <li>The YouTube IFrame Player API service, which lets you embed videos in a website, does not require authorization just as users do not need to log in to the YouTube website to watch a video.</li> <li>The YouTube Data API service requires authorization for some actions. For example, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> can search for public videos but does not need user authorization to do so. However, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> does need user authorization to upload a video to the user's YouTube channel.</li> <li>The YouTube Analytics API service and YouTube Reporting API service require authorization for all actions.</li> </ul></p> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"> <li> <p>Authentication</p> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman"> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not (and must not attempt to) obtain, proxy, request, collect, modify, cache, store, or use any information that the user provides or that YouTube displays to the user during authentication processes, including YouTube user account login credentials like usernames and passwords.</p> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must obtain user consent in accordance with the applicable laws and only request access to authorization scopes that they currently use. The access that an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> requests should have a direct and transparent benefit to users of that Client. Do not try to future-proof your access to data by asking for permissions that would enable features that you have not yet built.</p> <p>For example, the YouTube Data API service supports one authorization scope that grants access to read data and another that grants access to read and write data. If a user granted an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> access to the first scope, that <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> would be able to retrieve information about the current user's YouTube channel. However, if a user granted the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> access to the second scope, the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> could also upload a video to that channel.</p> <p>In this scenario, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that does not support YouTube uploads (or other write-based actions) only needs to request access to the first authorization scope, which is more limited in the privileges it grants. Even if the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client's</a> developer plans to eventually introduce support for write-based actions, the developer cannot future-proof the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> by requesting access to the authorization scope for writing data before the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">Client</a> actually supports features that require that scope.</p> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> should request access to authorization scopes in context whenever possible. By requesting access to user data in context, via incremental authorization, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> enables users to more easily understand why it needs access to that data.</p> </li> </ol> </li> <li> <p>API Client Identification and Representation</p> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman"> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must clearly and accurately identify to the user the entity or product that is requesting access to user data and the reason for requesting that access;</p> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not mislead users when requesting access to data so that users can make an informed decision about whether to grant access to those Clients. Users should be able to readily understand both the value of providing the data that an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> requests access to and the consequences of sharing that data.</p> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must clearly and comprehensively identify to users the purposes for which they access and use user data. <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not use user data for secondary purposes that are not clearly disclosed to users.</p> <p>Users should not be surprised to learn that an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> contains hidden features, services, or actions that are inconsistent with the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">Client's</a> marketed purposes.</p> </li> </ol> </li> <li> <p>Revocation</p> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman"> <li> <p>Every <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must provide a clearly explained and easy way for users to revoke any authorization consent they have provided to an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> to access <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a>. <p>When a user revokes consent through this mechanism, the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must programmatically revoke that token right away to communicate the change in permissions to Google. For example, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> could use a Google API Client Library to revoke the token. <p>In addition, following revocation of consent through this mechanism, you and your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must delete all <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-authorized-data">Authorized Data</a> that was accessed or stored pursuant to that consent. That deletion should happen as soon as possible and must take place within 7 calendar days of the revocation. </li> <li> <p>As noted in section (III.A.2.i), every <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must include in its Privacy Policy a link to Google's security settings page (<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230929224838/https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions">https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions</a>). When a user revokes consent through that page, you and your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must also delete all <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a> related to that user that was accessed or stored pursuant to such consent. To comply with this policy, your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> will need to periodically reconfirm that its authorization tokens are still valid and delete <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a> associated with users whose authorization tokens cannot be refreshed. <p>Based on the requirements defined in section (III.E.4) regarding stored data, all such deletions should happen as soon as possible and must take place within 30 calendar days of that revocation. </li> </ol> </li> </ol> </li> <li> <p>Usage and Quotas</p> <p>YouTube may use quotas and place use restrictions to ensure that <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-youtube-api-services">YouTube API Services</a> are accessed and used as intended and that you and your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> do not reduce service quality or limit access for others.</p> <p>If your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> reaches the quota limit for a service, you can apply for a quota extension by completing an <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230929224838/https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/yt_api_form">API Compliance Audit</a> where you must specify the use case for which you need the extension.

For example, your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> could display a button to delete stored data. If the user indicates that you should delete that data, you must then delete it as soon as possible and within 7 calendar days.</p> <p>The method for deleting stored data must make clear that deleting the data stored by the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> does not, in any way, affect data stored by YouTube and that to delete data on YouTube, the user needs to use a YouTube Application or an authorized <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that supports the ability to delete that data.</p> <p>Similarly, <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must respect any other means by which a user expresses an intent to prevent those Clients from accessing user data related to that user. For example, if a user deletes his account from your API Client, you must also delete any user data you have stored related to that user as soon as possible and within 7 calendar days.</p> </li> <li> <p>Your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not (i) replace <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a> with similar, independently calculated data, or (ii) access or use <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a> to create new or derived data or metrics.  To the extent your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> display any information, data or metrics not based on <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a> alongside <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a>, your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must include a clear and prominent disclosure there that such information, data and metrics are not from YouTube and are part of your own product.</p> <p>For example, when displaying the number of likes for a video, your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> must use the number returned in the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a>. You must not substitute a different number to represent likes, such as the number of users of your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that liked the video. Similarly, you are not permitted to use the number of likes returned in the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a> to calculate other metrics, such as the percentage of total likes that were made through your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> or a score that factors in likes, total views, or any other <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a>. However, you are permitted, for example, to display the number of likes that were made through your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> as long as that number is displayed alongside the total likes returned in the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a> and as long as your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> clearly communicates that the <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> calculates the additional metric independently of YouTube <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-data">API Data</a>.</p> </li> <li id="III-E-4-i"> <p>When your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> loads, it collects and shares some basic user data with YouTube via the YouTube embedded player to render the video thumbnail and title, determine playability and content restrictions, and for fraud and abuse reasons. Additional data is collected and shared by your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> upon video playback to customize the player on your <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> and third party sites and apps. Remember that if you enable Autoplay, playback will occur without any user interaction with the player; playback data collection and sharing will therefore occur upon page load.

For example, an <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Client</a> that displays search results from YouTube and from other sources on the same page needs to clearly identify YouTube as the source of only the search results from YouTube, including text, images, and other information pertaining to YouTube search results.

Playback integrity is critical to the YouTube platform, as it helps protect creators' interests, including their ability to monetize their content and develop their audience.</p> <p>YouTube believes that playback integrity is contingent on a user choosing to watch a video, and <a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> are prohibited from providing incentives for watching videos as follows:</p> <ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha"> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not charge users to watch content in an embedded YouTube player.</p> </li> <li> <p><a class="defined-term" href="#definition-api-client">API Clients</a> must not otherwise gate access to a video by requiring a user to take an action other than clicking the play button to view or continue playing YouTube audiovisual content.
