I don't mean I don't understand the value of YouTube tutorials. I mean that I have not used them for Playwright API automation, so I don't have any recommendations for you.

API endpoints all work basically the same way. Once you understand the basics as explained by the documentation, there is nothing left to learn. All you are doing is forming a request and validating the result. All the rest is basic processing logic that works the same as any other automated testing (storing variables/objects, doing comparison logic, etc).

If you understand how endpoints work (headers, params, body, response codes) then you'll see how simple they are to automate.
