I have been able to successfully upload videos to my own YouTube channel through the YouTube Data API.
I have just been made a manager of multiple channels and am now hoping to upload videos to the different channels using the ‘onBehalfOfContentOwner’ parameter
I am trying to get the Content Owner ID from the Content ID API but am getting the error:
“YouTube Content ID API has not been used in project <PROJECT_ID> before or it is disabled”.
When I try to enable the Content API through the developer console it doesn’t appear as an option in the API library
Would anyone know how I can enable the Content ID API?

from my google lookup it seems that Im suppose to fill this form (https://support.google.com/youtube/contact/yt_api_form) in order to be able to upload public videos to my YouTube channel using YouTube data Api.
Is there any things i should do apart from that? Do i have to make my related google developer console project "verified" too?
We're working on an integration with youtube channels (using Youtube Data Api v3). We need to access the videos (private also) on our user's channels.
The flow is the following:
User authorizes his/her youtube account on our site using OAuth.
We show user the list of videos on user's youtube channel.
User selects some of them (they can be private) and sends us for processing.
We need to somehow access the actual video files which the user asks us to process.
The issue is that youtube does not give any streaming URLs or download links.
Looks like, the API provides only iframe embedded code, which works ONLY for the browser, where the user is actually logged into youtube.
How can we access(can we?!) the private video, if we have the OAuth access-token of the video owner?
The YouTube Data API lets you incorporate functions normally executed on the YouTube website into your own website or application. The lists below identify the different types of resources that you can retrieve using the API. The API also supports methods to insert, update, or delete many of these resources. This in a sense means that you can see most of what you can see on the YouTube website including uploading new videos.
Downloading Youtube videos is against their Terms of Service, so the API does not support that.
Page linked above refers to Youtube ToS that states:
You shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content.
YouTube partners may have access to this feature in their API (no idea i have never seen the api), if you have access to this i suggest you contact your manager directly they should be able to instruct you on how to access it assuming the feature exists.
YouTube Content ID API is not showing up on my api console, I already made sure my channel was partnered, I also linked it the CMS account, everything is setup correctly but, when I go to the API console it does not show it. The channel I'm uploading the videos to is a brand account of the main email, is that the problem? if so how can I fix it. Thanks.
To get access to YouTube Content ID API you first need to apply here.
https://www.youtube.com/content_id_signup?internalcountrycode=GB
You must be a partner to apply.
I would like to load the livestream into my live list when the status is live without using the access key.
No, it is not possible.
You need a Google Account to access the Google Developers Console, request an API key, and register your application.
Register your application with Google so that it can submit API requests.
After registering your application, select the YouTube Data API as one of the services that your application uses:
Go to the Developers Console and select the project that you just registered.
Open the API Library in the Google Developers Console. If prompted, select a project or create a new one. In the list of APIs, make sure the status is ON for the YouTube Data API v3 and, if you are a YouTube Content Partner, the YouTube Content ID API.

I want to use list_batch_report_definitions method in Youtube Analytics API V2.
http://www.rubydoc.info/github/google/google-api-ruby-client/Google/Apis/YoutubeAnalyticsV1/YouTubeAnalyticsService#list_batch_report_definitions-instance_method
But I don't know what is on_behalf_of_content_owner and how to get it.
onBehalfOfContentOwner string
The ID of the content owner for whom the API request is being made. If the request does not specify a value for this parameter, the
API server assumes that the request is being made for the user's own
channel.
ID Identifies the YouTube channel or content owner for which you are >retrieving YouTube Analytics data.
Note: Content owner reports are only accessible to YouTube content partners who participate in the YouTube Partner Program.
I suspect once you have been accepted into this partner program you will be given access to the content owner id.
