How to Upload Videos with the YouTube API (using Python)

[@API-Learning]

Fantastic . For this I tried 2 month. And finally just now uploaded my video in KZbin. and I got mail from youtube Our team has reviewed your content, and we think you may need to make changes to make sure it doesn't violate our spam, deceptive practices and scams policy. In the meantime, we've made the following content private:

[@jdcampolargo]

Thank you very much, Tony. Your passion shows through the clarity and deep understanding of the matter. Thanks again. Could you please make a video explaining your workflow? For instance, more about the parsing comment you mentioned at the end of the video as well as how we could use your scripts. I would appreciate how you could write a script that as soon as a file is in the folder, the program would take it and upload it. Also, have you thought about using AI for tittle, description, and thumbnail? Thank you, Tony!

[@ZIRRAMA]

Bro this api is not working anymore. After you upload video it automatically gets blocked and can't be reverted.

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Thanks for the kind words Juan! I've put together a tutorial for Videoflo here videoflo.app/ and you can get support on my Discord or Github if necessary

[@hugh_dancy]

this is so crazy, i can't believe i found this video right when i needed it. thank you so much for the extensive and thorough explanation !!!

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Perfect!

[@surfingmoose]

thanks for showing how to setup and use the api. very appreciated

[@actualspectral]

thank you it was very helpful but can you put it on repeat to upload the same video over and over

[@lifeuniverse]

Thank you Tony, you are a savior. Did you have any issue with the videos being flagged after upload?

[@jacobmarquez9805]

I love that you have OldBay spice in the background lol

[@TheTeacher]

Thank you a lot. Learned a lot from you.

[@FindSponsor]

i don't have any website to verify my domain . after uploading video get locked . how to solve this problem

[@geraldthemetrosexualfruitc3030]

is it weird - i just started looking for a such a guide & boom everything i needed to know in one place

[@TonyTeachesTech]

Perfect! Hope this helps

[@sanya7349]

Hello, I have a question. I am trying to set this up on a Linux server, does the command "python3 -m venv ~/env/api" at the beginning of the video apply to Linux or is it MacOS specific?

[@ammarpoint9278]

Thanks Tony. Is it possible to upload a video with a schedule as I can see only options with private or public? Thanks !!

[@CutPerfectMemes]

Thanks for the affort but this is so uselss because the videos you upload with the API are always blocked and private. Google says: "All videos uploaded via the videos.insert endpoint from unverified API projects created after 28 July 2020 will be restricted to private viewing mode. To lift this restriction, each API project must undergo an audit to verify compliance with the Terms of Service. Please see the API Revision History for more details."

[@ricky10116]

Thanks for making this video in advance! Is there any workaround to solve this to make it be access in public ? or just need to fill in the form T_T If I write code for a personal test purpose, can I apply it or not. Lack this step to make my project be all automatic ORZ developers.google.com/youtube/v3/revision_history#release_notes_07_28_2020

[@xenophod]

Same! All videos uploaded with the API are being restricted.

Excellent, thanks. I have two questions: 1)how we get size of youtube video before download it? 1)how we send stream of video to bot telegram for download on telegram? thanks if give me answer. bye

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You can use the code in my GitHub repo with your API key

[@weedytt9031]

i exceeded the quotas very fast. is there a simple way to increase them?

[@4n7s]

I tried to do the same but my videos privacy status is "Private (Locked)" and I can't change it in the control panel, apparently this is because my API is unverified. How come you can change this setting?

Nice Video Tony. Easy to follow - I have mine up and running. I ran into a problem when testing though - Can you share some thoughts about the Quota during testing? In particular - it appears you can only do 12 queries while its still be "tested" but I'm not sure if I can or should change the auth to "in production." Can you walk through that a little bit?

[@TonyTeachesTech]

You're right about the quota. You'll have to submit your application through the review process to get a quota increase. I went through this process and it takes a week or so support.google.com/youtube/contact/yt_api_form?hl=en

[@cjhoffmn]

@@TonyTeachesTech Yup! I ended up doing this - and although I think it was a slightly strange process - they approved me and I'm approved to upload. Thanks!

[@reliableaxis]

Thanks for this video mate. I must just be too much of a damn newb because I almost always bump into issues instantly. Its like no ones environment is the same. For instance, I can't even run the command pyrhon3 -V without errors, but py --version does work. the "which" and "source" commands do not work either. Trying really hard to learn but its so damn difficult.

[@okpanda_]

if you are on windows, use python and not python3. for example, python3 -V. you do not need to use the which and source commands mentioned in the video either
