This code sample demonstrates how to upload a YouTube video and apply a monetization policy to it. To monetize a video, you mustclaimthe video with anassetin the YouTube rights management system. The sample uploads the video, creates a new asset, claims the video using the asset, and applies a monetization policy to the video.
This example is presented as the series of steps involved along with the relevant sections of the code. You can find the entire script at the end of this page. The code is written in Python.Client librariesfor other popular programming languages are also available.
The first sections of the code sample perform basic housekeeping functions that are common to many scripts: parse the command line, authenticate the user, and obtain the necessary API services.
Parse the command line
Theparse_optionsmethod usesOptionParserfrom the Python client library to create anoptionsobject that contains each command-line argument as a property. Subsequent methods retrieve values from theoptionsobject as necessary.
The sample script's command-line arguments are listed below. The first two (fileandchannelId) are required; the rest are optional.
file: The name and location of the video file to upload.
Example: --file="/home/path/to/file.mov"
channelId: The YouTube channel to which you want to upload the video. The channel must be managed by the YouTube Content Manager account of the authenticated user. You can retrieve the channel ID in theYouTube account settingsfor the authenticated user or by using thechannels.listmethod.
Example: --channelId="UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw"
title: A title for the video that you're uploading. The default value isTest title.
Example: --title="Summer vacation in California"
description: A description of the video that you're uploading. The default value isTest description.
Example: --description="Had a great time surfing in Santa Cruz"
category: The category ID for theYouTube video categoryassociated with the video. The default value is22, which refers to thePeople & Blogscategory.
Example: --category=22
keywords: A comma-separated list of keywords associated with the video. The default value is an empty string.
Example: --keywords="surfing, beach volleyball"
privacyStatus: The privacy status of the video. The default behavior is for an uploaded video to be publicly visible (public). When uploading test videos, you may want to specify a--privacyStatusargument value to ensure that those videos are private or unlisted. Valid values arepublic,private, andunlisted.
Example: --privacyStatus="private"
policyId: The monetization policy to apply to the uploaded video. The policy must be associated with the YouTube Content Manager account of the authenticated user. The default is the standard YouTube "monetize" policy.
Example: --policyId="S309961703555739"

Must be managed by your CMS account")(options,args)=parser.parse_args()returnoptions
Authorize the request
In this step, we incorporate OAuth 2.0 authorization into the script. This enables the user running the script to authorize the script to perform API requests attributed to the user's account.
Create a client_secrets.json file
The type of authorization shown in the sample requires aclient_secrets.jsonfile, which contains information from theGoogle API Console, to perform authorization. You also need toregister your application. For a more complete explanation of how authorization works see theauthorization guide. Note that this sample requires both the YouTube Data API V3 and the YouTube Content ID API service to be configured in the API Console for your project.
{"web":{"client_id":"INSERT CLIENT ID HERE","client_secret":"INSERT CLIENT SECRET HERE","redirect_uris":[],"auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token"}}
Authorization code in the script
The script includes theseimportstatements to enable user authentication and authorization:
Next, theget_authenticated_servicesmethod creates aFLOWobject using the data from theclient_secrets.jsonfile configured in the previous step. If the user authorizes our application to submit API requests on the user's behalf, the resulting credentials are stored in aStorageobject for later use. The user needs to reauthorize our application if the credentials expire.
YOUTUBE_SCOPES=(# An OAuth 2 access scope that allows for full read/write access."https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube",# A scope that grants access to YouTube Partner API functionality."https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner")flow=flow_from_clientsecrets(CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE,scope=" ".join(YOUTUBE_SCOPES),message=MISSING_CLIENT_SECRETS_MESSAGE)storage=Storage(CACHED_CREDENTIALS_FILE)credentials=storage.get()ifcredentialsisNoneorcredentials.invalid:credentials=run(flow,storage)
Obtain services
After successful authorization we obtain the necessary services for the operations we want to perform. The sample uses the YouTube Data API to upload the video and the YouTube Content ID API to create the asset and claim the video. We create separate services to provide authorized access to the functionality of the two APIs.
To create assets and make claims, the authenticated user must have a YouTube Content Manager account. The Content Manager account holds the rights management objects for one or morecontent owners. The content owner is the copyright holder who has the right to decide whether to monetize, track, or block a video.
Theget_content_ownermethod retrieves the ID of the content owner in the authenticated user's Content Manager account. Most accounts have a single content owner (the authenticated user), but if the account has multiple content owners, the method returns the first.
defget_content_owner_id(youtube_partner):try:content_owners_list_response=youtube_partner.contentOwners().list(fetchMine=True).execute()exceptHttpError,e:ifINVALID_CREDENTIALSine.content:logging.error("The request is not authorized by a Google Account that ""is linked to a YouTube content owner. Please delete '%s' and ""re-authenticate with a YouTube content owner account."%CACHED_CREDENTIALS_FILE)exit(1)else:raise# This returns the CMS user id of the first entry returned# by youtubePartner.contentOwners.list()# See https://developers.google.com/youtube/partner/reference/rest/v1/contentOwners/list# Normally this is what you want, but if you authorize with a Google Account# that has access to multiple YouTube content owner accounts, you need to# iterate through the results.returncontent_owners_list_response["items"][0]["id"]
Step 3: Upload the video
To upload a video, we build a partial JSON resource representing the video and pass it to thevideos.insertmethod. We set the video metadata using values from theoptionsobject created when weparsed the command line. For the media file itself, we useMediaFileUploadto be able to use resumable uploading. SeeUploading a videofor further details.
Theuploadmethod returns the video ID for the new video, and the script needs to pass that value to other methods in later steps.
defupload(youtube,content_owner_id,options):ifoptions.keywords:tags=options.keywords.split(",")else:tags=Noneinsert_request=youtube.videos().insert(onBehalfOfContentOwner=content_owner_id,onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel=options.channelId,part="snippet,status",body=dict(snippet=dict(title=options.title,description=options.description,tags=tags,categoryId=options.category),status=dict(privacyStatus=options.privacyStatus)),# chunksize=-1 means that the entire file will be uploaded in a single# HTTP request. (If the upload fails, it will still be retried where it# left off.) This is usually a best practice, but if you're using Python# older than 2.6 or if you're running on App Engine, you should set the# chunksize to something like 1024 * 1024 (1 megabyte).media_body=MediaFileUpload(options.file,chunksize=-1,resumable=True))response=Noneerror=Noneretry=0duration_seconds=0whileresponseisNone:try:logging.debug("Uploading file...")start_seconds=time.time()status,response=insert_request.next_chunk()delta_seconds=time.time()-start_secondsduration_seconds+=delta_secondsif"id"inresponse:return(response["id"],duration_seconds)else:logging.error("The upload failed with an unexpected response:%s"%response)exit(1)exceptHttpError,e:ife.resp.statusinRETRIABLE_STATUS_CODES:error="A retriable HTTP error%doccurred:\n%s"%(e.resp.status,e.content)else:raiseexceptRETRIABLE_EXCEPTIONS,e:error="A retriable error occurred:%s"%eiferrorisnotNone:logging.error(error)retry+=1ifretry>MAX_RETRIES:logging.error("No longer attempting to retry.")exit(1)max_sleep=2**retrysleep_seconds=random.random()*max_sleeplogging.debug("Sleeping%fseconds and then retrying..."%sleep_seconds)time.sleep(sleep_seconds)
Step 4: Create an asset
To monetize a YouTube video, you first have to associate it with an asset. Thecreate_assetmethod creates a new asset for the newly uploaded video.
Just like we did for the video, we build a partial JSON resource that identifies the type of asset to create (a web video) and provides a title and description for the new asset. We pass the JSON resource to theassets.insertmethod, which creates the asset and returns its unique ID. Again, the script needs to pass that value to other methods in later steps.
defcreate_asset(youtube_partner,content_owner_id,title,description):# This creates a new asset corresponding to a video on the web.# The asset is linked to the corresponding YouTube video via a# claim that will be created later.body=dict(type="web",metadata=dict(title=title,description=description))assets_insert_response=youtube_partner.assets().insert(onBehalfOfContentOwner=content_owner_id,body=body).execute()returnassets_insert_response["id"]
Step 5: Update the ownership
Before you can monetize a video, YouTube must know who owns the associated asset. So, with the asset created, we now configure the asset'sownership. In the sample, we specify that the content owner has worldwide ownership of the asset.
defset_asset_ownership(youtube_partner,content_owner_id,asset_id):# This specifies that content_owner_id owns 100% of the asset worldwide.# Adjust as needed.body=dict(general=[dict(owner=content_owner_id,ratio=100,type="exclude",territories=[])])youtube_partner.ownership().update(onBehalfOfContentOwner=content_owner_id,assetId=asset_id,body=body).execute()
Step 6: Claim the video
The next step is to associate the uploaded video with its corresponding asset byclaimingthe video. The claim provides the link between the video and the YouTube rights management system, which establishes ownership of the video and enables the owner to set a monetization policy.
Theclaim_videomethod claims audiovisual rights. If you include thepolicyIdparameter on the command line, the method applies the specified policy to the video; if you don't include the parameter, the method applies the standard "monetize" policy.
defclaim_video(youtube_partner,content_owner_id,asset_id,video_id,policy_id):# policy_id can be set to the id of an existing policy, which can be obtained# via youtubePartner.policies.list()# See https://developers.google.com/youtube/partner/reference/rest/v1/policies/list# If you later update that existing policy, the claim will also be updated.ifpolicy_id:policy=dict(id=policy_id)# If policy_id is not provided, a new inline policy is created.else:policy=dict(rules=[dict(action="monetize")])body=dict(assetId=asset_id,videoId=video_id,policy=policy,contentType="audiovisual")youtube_partner.claims().insert(onBehalfOfContentOwner=content_owner_id,body=body).execute()
Step 7: Set the advertising options
We've claimed the video and applied a monetization policy to it. The final step is to specify what type of advertisements to show in the video. Whenever the "monetize" policy applies, YouTube checks the advertising options and shows the highest-revenue type of advertisements available.
The sample tells YouTube to show in-streamTrueViewadvertisements with this video.
defset_advertising_options(youtube_partner,content_owner_id,video_id):# This enables the TrueView ad format for the given video.# Adjust as needed.body=dict(adFormats=["trueview_instream"])youtube_partner.videoAdvertisingOptions().update(videoId=video_id,onBehalfOfContentOwner=content_owner_id,body=body).execute()
