如何通过YouTube Data API添加片尾画面？能否上传或编辑时配置？

Great question! Let's break this down clearly:

• Short answer: No, the YouTube Data API v3 does not currently support configuring or adding end screens to videos directly via API parameters.

Here's the full context: When you dig through the official docs for core endpoints like videos.insert (for uploading new videos) or videos.update (for editing existing ones), you won't find any dedicated fields for setting up end screens. These interactive video elements aren't exposed through the API's current feature set—they're only manageable via YouTube's native UI tools right now.

Workarounds to Explore #

If you need to handle end screens at scale, here are a couple of options to consider:

1. Manual Setup via YouTube Studio: The most reliable and policy-compliant method is to use the YouTube Studio interface directly to add and tweak end screens for your videos. It's not automated, but it avoids any risk of account restrictions.
2. Automated UI Tools (Use Carefully): For bulk operations, some developers use tools like Selenium to simulate human actions in YouTube Studio. However, this violates YouTube's Terms of Service if misused—Google may flag or restrict your account if it detects non-human automated interactions with their platform.

If this is a feature you'd love to see added to the API, you can submit a feature request through Google's Issue Tracker to let the team know there's demand for it.
