Error Status 400 When Uploading to Youtube API v3 - post

Question

I keep getting an error when trying to POST to Youtube v3 API.
I'm trying to get a response URI, so I can upload a Youtube video.
This is the documentation I'm referencing: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/insert#go
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Error log is below.
My code:
axios({
method: 'POST',
baseURL: 'https://www.googleapis.com',
url: '/upload/youtube/v3/videos',
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Content-Length': 167,
'X-Upload-Content-Length': 302080,
'X-Upload-Content-Type': 'video/mp4',
'Authorization': `Bearer <MY_ACCESS_TOKEN>`, // has my actual access_token
},
params: {
'uploadType': 'resumable',
'key': <MY_API_KEY>, // has my actual app API key
'part': 'snippet,status'
},
data: {
'snippet': {
'title': 'Test Upload 1',
'description': 'Test Description 1',
'tags': ['tag1', 'tag2'],
},
'status': {
'privacyStatus': 'private',
}
}
})
.then(response => {
res.json(response.data);
})
.catch(err => console.log(err));
Error Log:

Answer 1

That request is not for uploading video, that request returns a url to which the video can be uploaded.
