    <p>I'm working on an application that scrapes songs from certain websites and programmatically "Likes" them on youtube through Google's Youtube API. To obtain the video IDs that I'm looking for, I perform a google search with the artist and song title and parse through the results. This process works fine and returns valid video IDs (I've tested them manually). Where I run into issues is the code I have for "Like"ing something based on a video ID, which is essentially copied directly from google's YouTube API Python example: </p> <pre><code>def likeVideo(youtube, video_id): channels_list_response = youtube.channels().list( mine=True, part="contentDetails" ).execute() # Adding a video as a favorite or to the watch later list is done via the # same basic process. Just read the list id of the corresponding playlist # instead of "likes" as we're doing here. liked_list_id = channels_list_response["items"][0]["contentDetails"]["relatedPlaylists"]["likes"] body = dict( snippet=dict( playlistId=liked_list_id, resourceId=dict( kind="youtube#video", videoId=video_id ) ) ) youtube.playlistItems().insert( part=",".join(body.keys()), body=body ).execute() print "%s has been liked." % video_id </code></pre> <p>However, my app is throwing this error: </p> <pre><code>apiclient.errors.HttpError: &lt;HttpError 503 when requesting https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?alt=json&amp;part=snippet returned "Backend Error"&gt; </code></pre> <p>Searching through google dev forums reveals that this might be a server side issue on Google's part, but I'm not sure for my specific situation. Anyone see what might be wrong? </p> <p>EDIT: I've been using this app in the past few days and it seems to be working somewhat decently; few 503 errors... However, at this point it's usually doing only one API request per session. When I first ran into the error, it was doing a batch of about 6. Is there something that happens when doing batch requests that I should account for? </p>

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
