[YouTube-API] Re: API field size limitations not in UI?

Jeff,

I have a customer that claims they can get around the API restrictions using the FTP uploader. I think they might be a YouTube Content Manager customer. I don't have access to those tools (or docs) to verify.

Could that be the situation?

Thanks,

- Paul

Hello Paul,

 There's no way around the restrictions on lengths imposed by the API.
They certainly were in sync with the metadata restrictions imposed on
uploads taking place via the website at one point in time, and I'm
assuming that they still are. But if you have a specific example of a
different restriction being imposed on uploads via the website I'll
try to investigate further, and see if the API's restrictions could be
relaxed.
