I've noticed that the V3 API returns a 400 error for some values of topicId, while it generally works fine.

E.g.

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=10&type=video&key={API-KEY}&topicId=%2Fm%2F0k_qlf

Error 400: Invalid combination of search filters and/or restrictions.

https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&maxResults=10&type=video&key={API-KEY}&topicId=%2Fm%2F01vrncs

Works fine

Anything I've done wrong, or is that an error in the API itself?

Thanks

The example you provided was not an 'mid' that YouTube API can return information about. That was the expected behavior. Just keep in mind, not all freebase topics will necessarily have video information.

Next time if you think it's a bug, feel free to file an public bug under http://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/list?

  • Ok, I see. An empty response might be better than a 400 error in that case? I'll use the bugtracker in the future. – apassant Feb 26 '13 at 17:34
