YouTube Monitoring API: uploads & shorts
The 1322 YouTube monitoring API reports new uploads, Shorts and video deletions for the channels on your tracked list in real time over WebSocket, without YouTube Data API quotas or polling loops. Each event carries the video title, kind and channel, so alert bots and dashboards can react the moment a tracked channel publishes.
