https://github.com/youtube/api-samplesA collection of code samples demonstrating how to interact with YouTube Data, Analytics, and Live Streaming APIs. Includes implementations across multiple programming languages such as Go, Java, JavaScript, .NET, and Google Apps Script, covering tasks like video uploads, playlist management, live broadcast setup, and analytics reporting.
This repository provides implementation examples for various YouTube APIs. You can find language-specific directories containing code samples for the following APIs:
To use these samples, navigate to the directory corresponding to your preferred programming language (e.g., Python, Java, or PHP) to find relevant implementation patterns.
To set up a live broadcast, use these methods in sequence:
youtube.liveBroadcasts.insert: Create the broadcast.youtube.liveStreams.insert: Create the stream.youtube.liveBroadcasts.bind: Bind the stream to the broadcast.youtube.liveBroadcasts.list: Retrieve a list of broadcasts for a channel. Use the --broadcast-status option to filter by a specific status.youtube.liveStreams.list: Retrieve a list of video stream settings available for a channel to use for live broadcasting.youtube.channelBanners.insert: Upload an image to get a banner URL.youtube.channels.update: Use the returned URL to set the channel's banner.youtube.watermarks.set: Upload an image and set it as the channel's watermark. Requires authorization by the channel owner.youtube.watermarks.unset: Remove the watermark image from a channel. Requires authorization by the channel owner.go get command. Refer to the google-api-go-client getting started guide for specific installation instructions. Additionally, you must enable the YouTube Data API in your Google Cloud project.Use the following API methods to manage user interactions via comments:
youtube.commentThreads.insert: Create a channel comment (using channelId) or a video comment (using videoId).youtube.commentThreads.list: Retrieve channel comments or video comments.youtube.commentThreads.update: Update a video or channel comment by including the comment resource in the request body.youtube.comments.insert: Reply to an existing comment using the parentId parameter.youtube.comments.list: Retrieve comments within a specific thread using the parentId parameter.youtube.comments.update: Update an existing comment by including the comment in the request body.youtube.comments.setModerationStatus: Set the moderation status of a comment.youtube.comments.markAsSpam: Mark a specific comment as spam using its id.youtube.comments.delete: Delete a comment using its id.oauth_util.rb sample to perform OAuth 2.0 authorization. The script checks for a local file containing authorization credentials. If the file is missing, it opens a browser to request authorization and then saves the returned credentials locally for future use.The YouTube API provides several methods for managing comments and threads:
Comments Management:
commentThreads.list: Retrieve comments for a specific videoId.comments.insert: Reply to an existing comment using the parentId parameter.comments.list: Retrieve comments within a specific thread using parentId.comments.update: Update an existing comment via the request body.comments.setModerationStatus: Set the moderation status of a comment.comments.markAsSpam: Mark a comment as spam.comments.delete: Delete a comment using its id.Comment Threads (Top-level) Management:
commentThreads.insert: Create a channel comment (using channelId) or a video comment (using videoId).commentThreads.list: Retrieve channel comments (using channelId) or video comments (using videoId).commentThreads.update: Update a video or channel comment by including the comment resource in the request body.Create a Reporting Job:
youtubeReporting.reportTypes.list to see available report types.youtubeReporting.jobs.create to start a new reporting job.Retrieve Reports:
youtubeReporting.jobs.list to find your reporting jobs.youtubeReporting.reports.list using a specific jobId to retrieve the reports generated by that job. The response will include download URLs for each report.To use the YouTube API samples in Python, you must install the Google APIs Client Library and the necessary authentication libraries using pip.
Required packages:
google-api-python-client: The core client library.google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib, and google-auth-httplib2: Required for user authorization.pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client
pip install --upgrade google-auth google-auth-oauthlib google-auth-httplib2To add tags to an existing video:
youtube.videos.list with the id parameter set to the videoId to retrieve the current video object.youtube.videos.update with the updated video object to persist the changes.Compile the code samples using the following Maven command:
mvn compileThe auth.js script uses the Google APIs Client Library for JavaScript to provide API access and authorize user requests via OAuth 2.0. Most subsequent JavaScript samples depend on this script for authorization.
Important Setup:
auth.js file with your own.For requests that do not require user authentication, you can use the key query parameter to specify an API key instead of OAuth 2.0.
