I am currently using the google-api-ruby-client to upload videos to Youtube API V3, but I can't find a way of getting the Youtube ID that is created by a resumable upload. The code I am trying to use is along the lines of:
media = Google::APIClient::UploadIO.new(file_path, 'application/octet-stream')
yt_response = @client.execute!({
:api_method => @youtube.videos.insert,
:parameters => {
:part => 'snippet,status',
'uploadType' => 'resumable'
},
:body_object => file_details,
:media => media
})
return JSON.parse(yt_response.response.body)
But unfortunately for resumable uploads, yt_response.response.body
is blank. If I change the 'uploadType'
to 'multipart'
then body is a JSON blob that contains the Youtube ID. The response for a resumable upload though is only the resumable session URI for the upload with an empty body. How do I go from that URI into the Youtube ID I just created?
Synthesizing the info from How to engage a Resumable upload to Google Drive using google-api-ruby client? and the existing multipart upload sample leads to
videos_insert_response = client.execute!(
:api_method => youtube.videos.insert,
:body_object => body,
:media => Google::APIClient::UploadIO.new(opts[:file], 'video/*'),
:parameters => {
'uploadType' => 'resumable',
:part => body.keys.join(',')
}
)
videos_insert_response.resumable_upload.send_all(client)
puts "'#{videos_insert_response.data.snippet.title}' (video id: #{videos_insert_response.data.id}) was successfully uploaded."
That worked for me.
