Are there two distinct rate limits for the Youtube API? -


youtube has stated there's rate limit api. , that's totally fine , understandable. however, appears that, respecting rate limit , following best practices insufficient. in youtube terms of service, section 4h states "you agree not use or launch automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," or "offline readers," accesses service in manner sends more request messages youtube servers in given period of time human can reasonably produce in same period using conventional on-line web browser"

so youtube has api automate actions, have limit ill-defined notion of human equivalent. following best practices (in particular, waiting 10 minutes after "too_many_recent_calls" 403 suffice obey 4h?)

in particular application intend upload tens of thousands of videos youtube channel, , i'm concerned obeying best practices still result in youtube terminating account without explanation.

(for concerned tens of thousands of videos spammy , illegitimate, assure not case. these not advertising product, , according couple hundred test case uploads, these videos people more dislike , have high audience retention. example of such channel (not mine), see http://www.youtube.com/user/emmasaying)

the terms of use linked (containing 4h section) youtube website. api has different set of terms , can check quota information here.
