How to setup

pip

pip install google-api-python-client

Enable Youtube API

1. Login to Google Cloud Console. Click create project.

2. Choose the project. Click API and Service/Dashboard

3. Enable "YouTube Data API v3"

4. Click to API Service -> Authenticate information

5. Create authentication info. and choose OAuth Client ID.

6. Choose desktop app of the app category.

7. Download the auth info. as client_secret_downloaded.json

8. Set the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search

Get refersh token

python3 get_referesh_token.py

You need to allow permission to the app on browser. Note that you need to login with your account which you want to upload to. And then token is output.

You need to set the refresh_token to client_secret.json based on client_secret_downloaded.json But don't forget to remove "installed":{}. The client_secret.json only requires the following:

{ # Don't forget to remove "installed":{}
    "client_id":"xxxxx0oe.apps.googleusercontent.com",
    "project_id":"xxxx",
    "auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri":"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
    "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
    "client_secret":"xxxx",
    "refresh_token":"xxxx"  # you need to fill the print out here
}

Now you can upload .mp4,etc. to youtube.

python3 youtube_uploader.py movie.mp4 -s "test title" -d "my test video" -p private -t "test,uploader"

Note that client_secret.json is required by get_referesh_token.py with the downloaded client secret
