Context :
I am trying to upload videos to a youtube channel(Other-Y) linked to a google cloud project(say X).
I am not the owner of the channel. However, I have the manager access. I have client secret keys with me.
Steps followed :
Generate refresh token using these gcp secret keys and with my own personal email(this email is linked to the gcp account).I am using oauth credentials.
Now, while uploading, the video is getting uploaded to my own personal channel and not to the channel I am managing.
I have read about the OnBehalfOfContentOwner field and am trying to use that.
Questions :
Is this upload possible using OnBehalfOfContentOwner field ?
If yes, is there a way to know the exact value to be passed here ? Should it be user id of the channel owner in the youtube UI ?
Also, please let me know if there are any specific golang references for the same.
Thanks !

I have added a non-renewable subscription for one of my projects. We also started implementing the Google play developer API to get the subscription latest status from the Play Store. For that we have done the below steps as per this blog:
Linked the developer account to a new Google Cloud Project.
Enabled the Google Play Developer API for the Google Cloud Project.
Created a service account and created a key for the service account.
I have below clarifications related to this implementation:
I tried to Grant Access for the following permissions: But the corresponding checkmark is not clickable.
View financial data, orders, and cancellation survey responses
Manage orders and subscriptions
The 3rd step as per the blog is to Authorize an API key, but I didn't get a clear idea of that.
We are going to implement this API on the back end side as a corn job, do we need to generate a JWT token for accessing this API? Is this possible to call without a Token? I found 2 types of implementations from this blog, which one is easy and secure?
"Your application can complete these tasks either by using the Google APIs client library for your language or by directly interacting with the OAuth 2.0 system using HTTP."
From where we get the get API path and other details. I found a similar get API from AppStore like this. Is the play store providing a similar kind of get API?
We need the latest purchase status API and for that what parameters do we need to pass?
I am using the OAuth Functionality in a local Console Program to request the Videos for my Youtube Channel and upload Videos to Youtube.
For the Example which Google gives OAuth is used to authenticate to be able to retrieve the wanted data. But the Videos I am uploading keep getting put to private because my API Service is not verified.
Now I want to verify my API Service but I dont have a website for it so I can't provide any links for data security information or the main page of it. I mean it is a desktop app which only I am using and which is not meant to be publicly available.
How can I fulfill the verification process without any option to provide this informations?
private videos
If you check the top of the page for Videos: insert you will find that your videos are being uploaded private because your app has not been though a security audit.
app verification
In order to apply for app verification there are a number of urls that you need to supply
You will need to register a domain and claim it in web masters and then you will be able to add them.
If you want to be able to upload public videos via the YouTube Data api your app needs to be verified. In order to verify it you need to be able to show the TOS, privacy policy and the application home page. There is no way around this even if its a desktop app. Even if its single user you still need to do this.
I have a video which shows you what you need to know to verify your app.

I need to locate the user's YouTube account/channel Google user Id.
A Google Search on find YouTube channel from google id yields several StackeOverflow possible options, some use the Google+ API which has been deprecated, but I'm sure there are alternatives using the Google Identity API or some other Google API.
Can anyone give me idea or a solution about how can I convert Google Account Id to YouTube Channel Id Account?
You need to remember that YouTube and google where originally two different companies there is probably no direct link that you are going to be able to hack your way to.
This is partly why (IMO) YouTube login is channel based. A user can have more then one channel so your not going to be able to find a single channel for a user relation its going to be a one to many relation. I dont think google has any way for you to see this without having the user login.
Your best option will be to ask the user to sign in and then use channels.list with the option mine.
I write backend ASP .NET Core API and I need to read user Google Fit data.
I created an Android app that gets the server auth code and sends it to backend. As far as I understand, I need to get user token and then use it to access Google Fit. I tried to find libraries for it and failed. I also tried to get user token using Postman and got the following error:
{
"error": "invalid_grant",
"error_description": "Bad Request"
}
Am I doing something wrong?
You may refer with this thread: Using google fit api from a backend server.
To access from a back end server you will need to use the Rest API's There is documentation at developers.google.com/fit. You should be aware that the Google servers and the Android device are synced irregularly so data on the device may not be visible for hours or even days.
You may also check this link on how to read user's Google Fit data via REST API.
There is a mechanism for Android apps to obtain offline access for web back-ends highlighted in the CrossClientAuth guide from your question. With offline access, you can theoretically serve or store that data in any way that the user has consented to. Any access controls of that data to another person is something that you'd have to handle on your own.
The below api call used to return a feed of results that would have been on my homepage.
https://content.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/activities?home=true&maxResults=50&part=id%2Csnippet%2CcontentDetails&key=AIzaSyC0wL6aecu2rxiTNtW8uvtnb1kx9Kdlb4s
In the past day or so the feed I get has changed to be only videos from some channel called "Popular on YouTube".
Does anyone know why this API call changed? Is it a bug? Is there a different way to get an authenticated user's activity feed?
It turns out the home parameter for the activities api endpoint has been deprecated.

Sounds like you must have been using a shared API key.
Either case, "Popular on Youtube" is a Youtube channel by Youtube. Something has broken functionality and I believe it is referrer issue. With that, I suggest getting a new API Key.
You can learn more about and getting a free personal API Key, if you haven't done so. https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/errors
