I am trying to use YouTube API on a project. Is there a way to ask YouTube to display only safe advertisements? I don't want kids watching horror movie trailers when they watch YouTube videos.
YouTube lets you block certain ads on a site basis http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=164131 but I don't see horroR film trailers in that list. If you don't want offensive ads you should use a paid service like Vimeo and get no ads at all.

Is it possible via an API to get the most played songs on TikTok?
There is an API for TikTok but unlike Spotify and Youtube there doesn't seem to be any info regarding most played content.
Google YouTube API allows maximum 10,000 units of quota per day. I am trying to avoid 'Quota Exceeded' error as I am making too many calls against the "Search: list" API which costs 100 units of quota per API call.
I read this and several other blogs; and went with my own below analysis.
I am planning to pull data every day once and store it in the database. Can any expert please confirm if below will cover up all the videos under the channel, or I will miss some?
(1) Playlists: list --> Get all the playlists from the channel.
(2) PlaylistItems: list --> Iterate over each playlist one by one, and get all videos in it.
To answer your comment #Test:
I want to ask whether if i loop all playlists, will it give ma all the videos under channel id or not.
If by all playlists you mean all playlists intentionally created by the given YouTube channel then it depends whether or not he selected all his videos.
I would recommend you to use this approach to retrieve all YouTube videos of a given YouTube channel which seems to be your case. The approach consists in getting the uploads auto-created playlist id of the YouTube channel by using Channels: list with contentDetails in part and then use PlaylistItems: list to retrieve all public videos uploaded on this YouTube channel. Using this method you will retrieve all public YouTube videos as long as the studied YouTube channel has less than 20 000 YouTube public videos. In this last case use this script which softwarly fake an automatic browse in the Videos tab of the given YouTube channel.
Is possible to get videos on YouTube trending page by country with YouTube Data API?
You can make API request to retrieve a list of the trending videos, and add a regioncode to filter you results

Youtube Data API v3 PlaylistItems update not working for Watch Later playlists
There was a change that I can't use playlistitems.list from YT API v3 to retrive Watch Later and Watch History playlists from my channel:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/revision_history#september-15-2016
TLDR:
"Requests to retrieve playlist details (playlists.list) for a channel's watch history or watch later playlist will return an empty list after September 12, 2016. Requests to retrieve playlist items (playlistItems.list) in either of those playlists will also return an empty list after that time. This is true for the new values, HL and WL, as well as for any watch history or watch later playlist IDs that your API Client may have already stored."
Is there any other way to programmatically get my Watch Later playlist other than manual scraping?
(By manual scraping I mean traversing http to login, getting into my playlist and manually parsing DOM to get links and snippets of videos in the list.)
Thanks

If I was in your position, I'd just work my requirement around it, avoiding this. You can go back to v2 or do some other stuff like scraping the website, but if the YouTube API is explicitly preventing these to be available to third parties, it might seem you could get into legal trouble.
Note that the v2 API provided separate feeds for a channel's favorite
videos, watch history, and watch later playlist. The v3 API uses
playlists and playlist items to represent all of these concepts.
From: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/implementation/playlists
You also use the channels.list method to get the playlist IDs for a
channel's watch history playlist, watch later playlist, uploaded
videos and liked videos. Liked videos are videos that the channel
owner rated positively
I am wondering if it is possible with the youtube api to get a list of purchasable, or rentable movies. When I go to the youtube website and I am logged into my google account I can see movies to purchase and their prices.
I would like to offer this option in my application ( http://www.tastefilter.com ). We would like to offer links to youtube so people can watch movies directly from their tablets. However I can't find anything in the youtube v2 or v3 documentation on purchasability of a movie, on how to filter a search query to only return those movies, and finally, no pricing info.
Take a look at the YouTube v2.0 Data API. There is a search parameter called paid_content that lets you retrieve information about rentable movies only.
