Cannot delete comment on Youtube video via API - youtube-api

I'm trying to delete followiing comment z12mdhjgxrfgtpf3d231jrz5vo3jdj0lo on this video but the response code is 400. I'm using token of the channel's admin with https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl scope as it required by documentation.
The request is:
DELETE https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/comments?id=z12mdhjgxrfgtpf3d231jrz5vo3jdj0lo&alt=json
{
"query_params": {
"id": "z12mdhjgxrfgtpf3d231jrz5vo3jdj0lo",
"alt": "json"
}
}
The response:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "youtube.comment",
"reason": "processingFailure",
"message": "The API server failed to successfully process the request. While this can be a transient error, it usually indicates that the requests input is invalid.",
"locationType": "parameter",
"location": "id"
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "The API server failed to successfully process the request. While this can be a transient error, it usually indicates that the requests input is invalid."
}
}
What is wrong with the request?
That's token debug info:
{

}

The reason you're not able to delete the comment is that you're using Comments.delete to remove comment which was written by other users . Comments.delete only deletes your own comments in your video.
To delete comment of other users, use Comments.setModerationStatus and set moderationStatus to "rejected".
So just repeat what you did but this time using Comments.setModerationStatus. There's a Try-it in the link for testing purposes.

can not access whitelist resource from youtube content id api

Description: my app uses youtube content id api (https://developers.google.com/youtube/partner/docs/v1) and service account. all resources work fine except whitelist resources (https://developers.google.com/youtube/partner/docs/v1/whitelists/list), 3 months ago I was still able to retrieve the whitelist normally. i also tried it with apis explorer the error is still the same.
API request with parameters used (DO NOT include your credential)
onBehalfOfContentOwner=...........................
Result (copy and paste a JSON response you received): { "error": { "code": 403, "message": "Forbidden", "errors": [ { "message": "Forbidden", "domain": "global", "reason": "forbidden" } ] } }

Comments: update gives 403 forbidden insufficient permissions

I tried this API here and in my code and got this error everywhere. However, other methods, such as commentThreads.insert() or comments.delete(), work fine, so I don't think this issue is scopes or OAuth 2.0 authorization related.
Here is the response I get:
{
"error": {
"code": 403,
"message": "The comment could not be updated due to insufficient permissions. The request might not be properly authorized.",
"errors": [
{
"message": "The comment could not be updated due to insufficient permissions. The request might not be properly authorized.",
"domain": "youtube.comment",
"reason": "forbidden",
"location": "body",
"locationType": "other"
}
]
}
}
UPD:
Apparently, you can only update the comment under your own video. But you can delete your comment from any video. I don’t know why they did it that way and didn't even write about it in the docs. I also wrote to them on https://issuetracker.google.com/

Youtube Comment API: Comment Insert 403 forbidden insufficient permissions

This is what im using to add comments to youtube :
gapi.client.youtube.commentThreads.insert({
part: "snippet", commentData
}).then(function (response) {
console.log("response", response);
})
This is what im getting while hit that :
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "insufficientPermissions",
"message": "Insufficient Permission: Request had insufficient authentication scopes."
}
],
"code": 403,
"message": "Insufficient Permission: Request had insufficient authentication scopes."
}
}
Insufficient Permission: Request had insufficient authentication scopes.
Means exactly that the currently authenticated user has not granted you the permissions to do that.
If you check the documentation comments.insert you will see that in order to use this method you must have authncated your user with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl scope

What is the proper way to list all youtube broadcasts on behalf of the Content Owner (Youtube Partner) using Youtube API V3?

I tried this:
Went here - https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list
Set the following parameters:
part - snippet
eventType - live (Also tried, completed)
forContentOwner - true
onBehalfOfContentOwner - 'Partner ID'
type - video
I have properly authenticated using the partners login credentials by switching on the OAuth at the top right of the form.
The documentation says, if 'eventType' is set, then the 'type' should be set to 'video' and if 'forContentOwner' is set then onBehlafOfContentOwner should be supplied and should be properly authenticated all of which I clearly did but I get the following error:
400 Bad Request
- Show headers -
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "youtube.search",
"reason": "invalidSearchFilter",
"message": "Invalid combination of search filters and/or restrictions.",
"locationType": "parameter",
"location": ""
}
],
"code": 400,
"message": "Invalid combination of search filters and/or restrictions."
}
}
As it says in the debug info: video_filter is unsupported in combination with for_content_owner filter.
So you can not do it this way.

Live Connect API for fetching Client ID

In the Facebook API, there is a request that provides details about the application that a particular OAuth access token is for. For example, I could send
http://graph.facebook.com/app?access_token=ABC...123
and it would return information about the application that the access token was generated for. It has a very similar one to get information about the user the access token was generated for.
http://graph.facebook.com/me?access_token=ABC...123
My question pertains to the parallel calls in Microsoft's Live Connect RESTful API. There is a direct equivalent to the /me request that returns the user's unique ID, but I cannot find any documentation for a parallel to the /app request (client in MS terminology).
https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me?access_token=ABC...123
{
"id": "1234abc1a1abc123",
"name": "test test",
"first_name": "test",
"last_name": "test",
"gender": null,
"locale": "en_US"
}
https://apis.live.net/v5.0/app?access_token=ABC...123
{
"error": {
"code": "request_url_invalid",
"message": "The URL contains the path 'app', which isn't supported."
}
}
https://apis.live.net/v5.0/client?access_token=ABC...123
{
"error": {
"code": "request_url_invalid",
"message": "The URL contains the path 'client', which isn't supported."
}
}
