I blanked for a second because it sounds like a tech question but it's really a product question in disguise.
Start by clarifying that 'endpoints' can refer to both public API endpoints and core product surfaces, then choose three that are most relevant to a PM role (e.g., Videos, Search, Recommendations). For each, briefly explain its function, the user problem it solves, and how it connects to YouTube's business goals.
Pro tip: Tie each endpoint to a key metric (e.g., watch time, engagement, revenue) to show product thinking, and mention that these endpoints are often used by third-party developers, which highlights platform strategy.
Ask whether the interviewer means public API endpoints or internal product endpoints, then state your assumption to ensure alignment.
Choose three endpoints that cover different aspects of YouTube: content retrieval (Videos), discovery (Search), and personalization (Recommendations).
For each, describe what it does, the user need it addresses, and how it supports YouTube's mission (e.g., give everyone a voice, show them the world).
Link each endpoint to key metrics like watch time, user engagement, or ad revenue to demonstrate product sense.
Wrap up by noting how these endpoints work together to create a seamless experience, and ask if the interviewer wants to dive deeper into any one.
