There has been a change in the values that can be obtained in comments resource’s snippet.authorDisplayName. Is this change intentional?
Example of authorDisplayName previously obtained: @user-{random string}
Updated authorDisplayName: @{string that appears to be user-specified}
I retrieved comments on videos on Youtube using the reference below:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/comments/list
I successfully obtained the response exactly as described in the reference, but there has been a change from the information I previously retrieved.
snippet.authorDisplayName property of the comment resource
As mentioned earlier, the value obtained has changed from any string starting with “user-” to a string that appears to be user-specified.
I would like to confirm if this change is an intentional specification.
