Now Getting YouTube Errors

Hello @imagineds

I hope you are doing well!

Youtube Error 429 happening because of too many requests. The crawl making to many requests in a short period of time so YouTube is blocking them.

By default, YouTube API allows making 100 requests per 100 seconds per. If this quota is increased the 429 error will be shown.

Would you please reduce the Target resource usage and see if this will stop returning 429 error?

Youy can find this option from Settings > Link Checker > Advanced.

Thank you, Nastia. That did the trick.

@nastia, what is a good setting for the Target Resource Usage? I left it at the default, which shows as 25%. Is that a good setting? Or should it be lowered?

Hello @thebrickblogger

The default setting (25%) should be just fine. If you notice any increased load in your server then you can lower that down a bit more.

Thank you,
Dimitris
