YouTube API Error ReferenceComplete troubleshooting guide with solutions

Solution:

Your YouTube/Google access token has expired or been revoked. Go to your account settings and reconnect your YouTube account to get a new access token.

Solution:

Your token is no longer valid. This can happen after a password change or security review. Reconnect your YouTube account to establish a new session.

Solution:

Shorten your video title to 100 characters or less. YouTube strictly enforces this limit for all video uploads.

Solution:

Your custom thumbnail exceeds YouTube's 2MB size limit. Compress your thumbnail image to under 2MB. Recommended size is 1280x720 pixels.

Solution:

Unverified YouTube accounts cannot set custom thumbnails. Verify your account at youtube.com/verify using a phone number. The video was uploaded successfully.

Solution:

YouTube limits uploads based on your account status. New accounts may be limited to 10 uploads per day. Wait 24 hours or verify your account at youtube.com/verify.

Solution:

You need to create a YouTube channel first. Go to youtube.com and click 'Create a channel'. Follow the setup wizard to complete your channel creation.

Solution:

You've exceeded YouTube's API quota limits. Default quota is 10,000 units per day. Wait until your quota resets (midnight Pacific Time) or request a quota increase from Google.

Solution:

YouTube Data API has usage quotas. Each operation costs quota units. Wait for quota reset or optimize your API usage to reduce quota consumption.

Solution:

YouTube detected potential copyright issues. Ensure you have rights to all content in your video. Review YouTube's copyright guidelines and use royalty-free music/footage.

Solution:

Content ID matched your video to copyrighted material. If you have permission, you can dispute the claim. Otherwise, remove the copyrighted content and re-upload.
