## Questions before you start

Can I look up a video by URL instead of ID?

Yes. Pass a video ID or the full URL, whichever your pipeline already has, and the same metadata comes back.

How does this compare to the official quota?

The official Data API bills reads against a 10,000-unit daily budget that resets at midnight Pacific. On Anysite API plans, reads draw on your plan’s credits, with no daily budget that resets at midnight. The live price is under this answer.

Does it return the video file?

No. The response carries the metadata and the subtitles; comments, channels and playlists have their own endpoints. Video files aren’t downloadable.
