Google YouTube Data API version 3, videoEmbeddable error

I am trying out the youTube Data API v3, on this page: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list

Every requests works fine, as long as the videoEmbeddable parameter is left blank. As soon as I set it to true or any, I get a bad request response.

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
    "domain": "youtube.search",
    "reason": "invalidSearchFilter",
    "message": "Invalid combination of search filters and/or restrictions.",
    "locationType": "parameter",
    "location": ""
   }
  ],
  "code": 400,
  "message": "Invalid combination of search filters and/or restrictions."
 }
}

Am I missing something?

Solution

  • If you set videoEmbeddable=true, you MUST also set type=video, otherwise you'll get the "Invalid combination of search filters and/or restrictions" error.
