I am an API developer. Invidious is NOT an "API client" of Youtube. That whole letter is moot on that point. If they were an API client of Youtube, Youtube could simply disable Invidious' API key. They don't, because there's no API key, because they're not their clients. As I write this you just said this same thing on your video so well done!

@watamatafoyu I think it's a case of know-it-all lawyers saying "well even if they scrape your website they are indirectly using your API" but they are missing the point that no contract was ever agreed to in the case of scraping.

@middleagebrotips3454 No one is going to write a client app that multiple different people will use, and share an anonymous access API key, as again, Youtube could simply cancel that API key. Scraping is unbeatable so why would they not do it?

@tonnentonie2767 That is the only other option, also known as scraping, spidering, among other names.
