Parameters
Required parameters
id string
The id parameter specifies the YouTube playlist item ID for the playlist item that is being deleted. In a playlistItem resource, the id property specifies the playlist item's ID.
Optional parameters
onBehalfOfContentOwner string
Note: The onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners and can only be used in a properly authorized request.

This parameter is designed for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It enables users affiliated with the content owner to authenticate once and then be able to access and manage all of the content owner's video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel.

When the parameter is present, its value identifies a content owner, and the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube user who is authorized to act on behalf of that content owner. The account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified content owner in the YouTube Creator Studio settings.
