YouTube Data API v3 - Problem with categoryId from category list

问题

If I upload a video which has CategoryId 34 (Comedy/Komödie), the API tells me the CategoryId isn't available/supported. But I got the Categories from YouTube, saved the List in a DB with the following call:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videoCategories/list?apix_params=%7B%22part%22%3A%22snippet%22%2C%22hl%22%3A%22de_DE%22%2C%22regionCode%22%3A%22DE%22%7D

and this category exists.

So with every "failed upload" my Quota raises. Unfortunately I can upload only 6 videos a day.

Any suggestions?

I checked the Categories, still up-to-date

According to the URL of the request you provided in your question, you're using de_DE as regionCode.

If so, you need to use the id 23 instead - which corresponds to Komödie.

See:

{
    "kind": "youtube#videoCategory",
    "etag": "\"0UM_wBUsFuT6ekiIlwaHvyqc80M/l3o_qqirQJQvOVhrSz9qa3x9Nxo\"",
    "id": "23",
    "snippet": {
        "channelId": "UCBR8-60-B28hp2BmDPdntcQ",
        "title": "Komödie",
        "assignable": true
    }
}

You can test the results in these demos:

Results of videoCategories.list from Germany "de_DE" in YouTube Official Documentation - "try-it" feature.
Results of videoCategories.list from Germany "de_DE" in Google API Explorer demo.

If you're still sure there's a problem with YouTube Data API, my advice is search whether your problem is already reported on Issue Tracker or report the problem there.
