Question

I have been using Youtube API with v3 version to get playlist of youtube.

But I found sometime Youtube API response with error message "500 Internal Server Error"

How can I fix or prevent this error from using Youtube API?

Answer 1

This error usually comes from the YouTube side. You can refer to the related post about 500 Internal Server Error and it all point out as an outage to the YouTube.

See relevant post:

• YouTube Data API v3 - Error 500 getting playlist list
• Internal Server Error when using YouTube API & PHP
• youtube reporting api error 500 internal error
• Internal server error from YouTube Analytics API

Also, it was declared in the documentation as a failed request due to an internal error.
