Welcome to the metachannels wiki!

To Do List

  • update metachannels without using the "search" API method
  • Error handling of API requests with the real returning error message from the API.
  • seeing related videos only works with the costy "search" method, this means clicking on a video and just watching a video results in a quota over 100 instead of around 3. Adding channels to a metachannel with a result preview as you type also costs 100 contingents every single time you type a couple of letters. A solution to these things would be for example, to make related videos optional and at request, by clicking a button on the sidebar or something, but this also would need limitations by ip, so it can not be overused and the complete application is not working anymore. The other solution is to use a non API solution, which I heard the API provider sometimes has a problem with. Edit: An other solution could be that the user submits his own requested API key and uses that one instead.
  • using API search method very sparingly as just one request uses 100 quota, instead of around 3 quota for other normal requests
  • Optimizing API requests
  • Implement Caching of API requests

Already done

  • Make Database seedable for easier development
  • Make Accounts Deletable by Account Owner (done)
  • 403 Api Exception Handling, when requesting a metachannel page (done)
  • when creating a new metachannel, and the 403 error is happening, it will not add any youtube channels to the metachannel, the result is an empty metachannel (fixed)
  • Make it easier to add channels to a metachannel (done)
