Hello,

If I have a software that uses an API, for example, youtube uploader using api, can youtube tracks that specific videos and accounts were uploaded using single API key ? If I have many yt accounts and I upload all the videos with 1 single API key, is it a risk ? Should the software be uploading via http request or API ? And 1 more question is, aside from API, what are other methods of uploading videos to youtube using a software.Like http request blah blah, I'm looking for term that is used, not sure if it's called http request.

And 1 more question is, just like I spread videos into more accounts to stay under the radar, is using 1 API key just like I'm using 1 yt account ? Are the risk similar ?

Thanks
 
Of course it can track via the API key. It can also track via accounts and ips.
 
You would not want to use the API for that; rather, you'd need something that can log in through the browser like a normal user would, upload a video, then log out, change IP's, and repeat the process with the next account.
