Is the YouTube Google Data API (GDATA) deprecated?

I'm about to start a project that requires some simple YouTube non-write data operations, like gathering users playlists and videos. I read that the YouTube 2.0 API is deprecated, but I don't really want to use OAuth authentication required for API 3.0.

Does this mean that the GDATA API deprecated (in particular this: https://gdata.youtube.com/demo/index.html

Google's GData API for YouTube was deprecated on 2014-03-14 according to their api status page. This was after your original question was asked, but I'm leaving this here for other's (like myself) who are trying to keep track of which api is current..

While you do not want to use OAuth 2.0 authentication, it would appear that you will need to make the transition to use YouTube API 3.0 version. If you do want your project to have a long life, you should make the effort to move to the new authentication mechanism. This will serve you well if you access other Google (and many other cloud service) apis.
