YouTube
Read back
We read the post back from the platform and record what it shows.
How posts get there
Data API v3 resumable upload; read-back via videos.list; optional playlist add as a checkpointed stage after verification.
Limits we enforce
- Caption
- 5,000 characters
- Video size
- up to 2 GB
- Video length
- 0.5 s to 12 h
- Shorts
- vertical or square, up to 3 min
- Video formats
- MOV, MP4, WEBM
Per-project upload quota (100 inserts/day at 1 unit each on the default quota); the engine tracks it and defers instead of failing.
Platform review
Google OAuth app verification is the gate for public accounts; your own channel works earlier as a test user.

Will this upload work?
Before anything uploads, we check the file against YouTube's rules as the product knows them. What we can only check after you connect (your channel, today's quota) is labelled that way, not guessed.
- FormatMOV, MP4, WEBM checked before upload
- Size and lengthup to 2 GB, 0.5 s to 12 h checked before upload
- Short or long-formvertical or square up to 3 min becomes a Short checked before upload

Quota Ledger
How YouTube's quota is spent.
Uploads have their own bucket of 100 a day per Google Cloud project. Reads (checking a post went live) draw on a separate 10,000-unit daily pool at 1 unit each. We count both ourselves and defer instead of failing.
| Call | Bucket | Cost | Sample day |
|---|---|---|---|
videos.insert | Uploads · 100 per day per project | 1 upload | 4 used, 96 left |
videos.list | Reads · 10,000 units per day | 1 unit | 12 used (read-backs and rechecks) |
Sample day, as counted by A1 Lane. When a bucket runs out, posts wait for the Pacific-time reset and their receipts say when they'll go. Source: the product's YouTube provider (verified 2026-10-28, docs/VERIFICATION-2026-10-28.md V-1).
Make something worth sharing. We'll bring back the proof.
No card. The trial's end date is shown up front, and when it ends publishing simply pauses until you choose a plan.
