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 upload carries the video title, its subtype (video or Short) and the channel, so alert bots and dashboards can react the moment a tracked channel publishes.
