I have to implement a way to upload video from our site to youtube. I already registered the app in Google Cloud and got all the necessary client ID, client secret code, browser key, redirect uri and server key. I also did turn ON the Youtube Data API V3, Google+ API, Freebase API and YouTube Analytics API as suggessted by various sites.
Here is my code below:
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php'; require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_YouTubeService.php'; $client = new Google_Client(); $client->setApplicationName('Application Name'); $client->setClientId('CLIENT_ID'); $client->setClientSecret('CLIENT_SECRET_CODE'); $client->setRedirectUri('REDIRECT_URI'); $client->setDeveloperKey('DEVELOPER_KEY'); $youtube = new Google_YouTubeService($client); if (isset($_GET['code'])) { $client->authenticate(); $_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken(); $redirect = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirect, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL)); } if (isset($_SESSION['token'])){ $client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']); } if ($client->getAccessToken()){ $path_to_video_to_upload = $_FILES["video"]["tmp_name"]; $mime_type = $_FILES["video"]["type"]; $snippet = new Google_VideoSnippet(); $snippet->setTitle('Highlights'); $snippet->setDescription('Description Of Video'); $snippet->setTags(array('training', 'Soccer')); $snippet->setCategoryId(17); $status = new Google_VideoStatus(); $status->privacyStatus = "private"; $video = new Google_Video(); $video->setSnippet($snippet); $video->setStatus($status); try { $obj = $youtube->videos->insert("status,snippet", $video, array("data"=>file_get_contents($path_to_video_to_upload), "mimeType" => $mime_type)); } catch(Google_ServiceException $e) { print "Caught Google service Exception ".$e->getCode(). " message is ".$e->getMessage()."<br>"; } $_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken(); } else{ $authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl(); print "<a href='$authUrl'>Connect Me!</a>"; }
I was referencing these codes from:Upload video to Youtube using Youtube API V3 and PHP
and
http://www.dreu.info/blog/uploading-a-video-to-youtube-through-api-version-3-in-php/
First time I ran this code, it had me connect to the youtube account (with a screen asking to let google manage my YT account) and then on the second try, I got this 401 Message response.
Here's the response from youtube server
Caught Google service Exception 401 message is Error calling POST https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/videos?part=status%2Csnippet&uploadType=multipart&key=AIzaSyCCySI5cToH3sICTmhCEFHW7QkIDptsjXg: (401) Unauthorized
I tried to search for various solutions but to no avail I cant seem to find it.Any help is appreciated, thanks!
follow-up question: Is the developer key the browser key or the server key? I am confused as to which should I use in my code. I've tried switching the keys and it also didn't work.
