Spotify Apps API Documentation defines a Playlist model, but no model for Playlist folders (folders that have playlists nested within them). I know the spotify core object has a core.library.createPlaylistGroup() function but of course this is off-limits for any Apps API development.
Any ideas on if it'd be possible to create playlist folders via API methods?
Unfortunately, there is no way in the current Spotify API to manage playlists folders.

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.
I am trying to create playlists and upload videos using Youtube API. I am doing this using a Brand channel's delegated manager account. Which permissions do I need to use? I have tried all of the existing scopes, whichever I could at least.
Could anyone let me know if it is even possible to manage playlists and videos through API as a manager of a brand account? Thank you in advance.
I would like to display a list of videos from a YouTube playlist in an intranet application.
Is it possible to get the list of videos from a YouTube playlist using the Data api (or any other way) without requiring the user to login?
Everything that I have read so far in the YouTube data api requires the user to be signed in to authenticate.
unfortunately, you can't access youtube data API with anonymously user.
Your application must have authorization credentials to be able to use the YouTube Data API.
The Developers Console associates your credentials with the APIs that you indicate that your application will use. Note that the Developers Console does not allow you to select the YouTube Data API (v2). However, authorization credentials for the v3 API will also work for the v2 API.
If possible, you should actually use YouTube Data API (v3) rather than the v2 API in your application. The YouTube API blog explains some of the benefits that the newer API offers, and we have added a year's worth of additional functionality to the API since that blog post!

Given specific video id (not owned by me), how can i get list of assets claimed in that video? I can do that via https://cms.youtube.com/manual_claim, but is there a way to do this via youtube partner api?
There is no way to check other people's ownership or management rights on a video or channel. YouTube deliberately avoids that. There is claimSearch->list method in Partner API but with that you can only search "your" claims.
Is it possible to upload videos on a specific channel through Youtube API?
I am just able to upload videos on main account. We have created some channels using business names. But, I could not find any way to upload videos on those channels so far using API.
On main account, the profile is using a human name. We need to use business name and the channels have been created using business names under the main youtube account. I uploaded a video manually too. But, we need to upload the videos using API on those business channels.
Can anyone help here?
If you get authorized for that account, you can upload to that account too.
If you are using Google+ to manage all those accounts, you can read here. (This is also suggested way to manage multiple channels with one login name.)
If you are a content owner that is managing all these channels, then you can use Content ID API.
