I want to upload videos through the google API in python to save some time. When I do so, the videos are automatically locked and I get the following email:
...We’re reaching out as it’s important you know that your video has been locked as private. This is because it was uploaded to YouTube using a third-party service that hasn’t yet been through our verification process....
This raises two questions:
- I trust this 'third-party service', cause its my own. Is there no way to enable that it doesn't get blocked?
- When going through the verification process, I need to provide all sort of business data like business website and so on. Many YouTubers do not even have a business cause they are either not earning yet, or earn based on a freelancer status. I see why an audit is important, but I don't want to make this 'app' available for other users - it's just for myself (but I need to have an 'app' cause uploading without OAuth2 is not possible).
I read that Google engineers are monitoring the tags I provided on this question, so it would be great if I could get a statement on how a YouTuber without an official business can automate the upload process.
