Unknown fields are rejected with 400. Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and empty nested lists are not sent. x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to return fewer results and pay for fewer. When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number. servers: - url: https://api.stophy.dev security: - apiKey: [] paths: /v1/youtube/charts: post: summary: >- Get YouTube Charts: top songs, videos, artists, Shorts songs, podcasts or trending description: Costs 1 credit per 10 results. operationId: youtubeCharts requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: type: object properties: chart: default: topSongs description: YouTube Charts' own chart. type: string enum: - topSongs - topVideos - topArtists - topShortsSongs - topPodcasts - trending country: default: us description: >- One of YouTube Charts' own countries as a 2-letter code, or global. type: string interval: default: weekly description: Daily exists for topVideos and topShortsSongs only. type: string enum: - weekly - daily limit: description: >- Return at most this many results.
