YouTube API 무료 한도를 50배 활용하는 최적화 기법
Why it matters
YouTube's free API tier (10,000 units/day) exhausts in just 28 user sessions when you account for real-world costs—far tighter than it appears. Three optimization tricks reduce per-user costs by 50x: parsing video IDs to skip searches, leveraging undocumented subtitle endpoints, and aggressive caching. For indie developers, this reveals a key insight: understanding API design and creative workarounds can make free tiers genuinely viable without immediate monetization pressure.
