Youtube

Setup

You will need a Google API Console project to authenticate an account via OAuth2. If you do not have one set up, you can follow the instructions here. You need to activate Google+ API and Youtube Data API v3 for your application.

In your settings.json file, you'll need to add the following configuration object to the actions property:

"actions": {
  "youtube": {
    "clientID": "xxxxxxxx",
    "clientSecret": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "loginURL": "/login/youtube",
    "callbackURL": "/login/youtube/return",
    "failureURL": "/?failure=youtube",
    "successURL": "/?success=youtube",
    "profileURL": "/profile/youtube",
    "privacyStatus": "public"
  }
}

Usage

Before being able to post, you will need to log in to your google account by going to the url matching loginURL in your config file and authorizing the application. When logged in, you can upload videos using form-data :

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
-F "media=@your_video.mp4"
-F "title=your_title"
-F "description=your_description"
-F "pricacyStatus=private"
"http://localhost:6060/api/v1/actions/youtube"
