[YouTube-API] Re: partial response

Hello Jose,

Yes, you could use partial responses to retrieve only the author (or
some other subset of the response) in individual requests for video
ids. Here's an example:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/Zhawgd0REhA?v=2&prettyprint=true&fields=author/name

Those requests are treated the same from the perspective of quota,
though. The quota system doesn't operate on the basis of the raw
number of bytes in a response.

Cheers,
