<p><em>2024 Note: I don't care anymore. I'm keeping this around for historical reasons at this point.</em></p>
86
<p>Youtube needs an open Rest API. Here are some reasons:
88
1. It makes my life easier, as I don't need to write a billion lines of code, and not go thought the <strong><em>paid service</em></strong> known as google cloud console, to get an api key.
89
2. It means that you only need to use <code>fetch()</code> on it.
90
3. We don't need the most in depth api.</p>
