🧾 YouTube.com 📺 Keyword Program No Results?

short url:

This page is going to show you how to do your own YouTube keyword research instead of relying on paid YouTube keyword research tools.

The problem with most YouTube keyword programs, both self standing exe software programs and online YouTube keyword tools, is they rely on API calls.

🧾 YouTube.com 📺 Keyword Program No Results?

If you are having problems with a YouTube keyword tool or software program working properly or not producing any results its because you are using a YouTube keyword tool that relies on YouTube API calls for its results instead of getting the results directly from YouTube itself. 90% of all software programs that scrape keywords, for either YouTube OR Google, rely on API.

What Is Wrong With Api For Youtube Keyword Tools?

API, which stands for Application Programming Interface, is a service provide by YouTube, specifically for computer programmers and web designers. The problem with this is that if/when YouTube decides to alter the API or terminate it altogether- guess what happens to the keyword tools relying on the API?

So why do Youtube Keyword Tools Rely on API?

The only reason a programmers writes keyword related software using API is that it is much easier to write code for YouTube keyword tools using API. It is direct and straight forward with almost no chance of errors or bugs UNLESS or until, as previously mentioned, the service offering the API changes API protocol or decides to terminate the service altogether. We saw this happen to tons and tons of Google keyword tools from 2013- 2015. Just a tiny list of some of the more well known keyword tools that either broke or stopped working properly because of this included:

  • Micro Niche Finder.
  • Market Samurai.
  • Long Tail Pro.

The list literally includes hundreds of keyword tools, well known and not so well known.

If Accurate YouTube Keyword Search Volume Really Exists ...

If it was REALLY possible to get accurate numbers of searches for keyword phrases on YouTube.com, wouldn't this information be readily available in the YouTube API section (developers.google.com/youtube/v3)??

So you mean to tell me that YouTube itself is NOT offering this information via their API BUT other website owners can somehow get this information??

Reliable Youtube Keyword Tools That Do Not Rely On API

Other than the software program we offer, YouTube AutoComplete Keyword Scraper, I can't think of one single keyword tool that does not rely on API as the foundation of the software.

Obviously, YouTube AutoComplete Keyword Scraper falls under the category of scraping software. The problem with scraping software, in general, is the reliablity of the software being able to scrape what it is suppose to scrape is dependant upon the website or online resource the software scrapes. This is something over which the programmer has no control. If the website owner decides to change a critical element of the source code, the software program needs to be updated.

While API is an open invitation from the website to scrape, it is still 100% reliant on the website owners generosity. While major changes to established websites source code is of low risk, changes to API can and do occur all the time. This is something you should ask the owner of a website that sells scraping software such as YouTube or Google keyword scraping tools. Ask if there software relies upon API for their software. If they do, buyer beware.
