So far looking at your complaint you just don't like their URL structures. api/v3/channels/teamcoco vs api/v3/channels?forUsername=teamcoco api/v3/playlists/coco-uploads vs api/v3/playlist?id=whatever api/v3/playlists/coco-uploads/videos vs api/v3/playlistItem?forChannel=whatever The only thing that takes a second to understand is parts=id,snippet,topicDetails,contentDetails but seems really convenient optimize your rate limit usage based on the info you actually need.
