I would like to post to the youtube feed via API.
The feed is a relatively unknown place where uploads, likes, comments, etc are shared automatically (dependent on privacy settings)
Image of the feed: https://i.sstatic.net/7akLd.png
Via Youtube.com you can also manually post to the feed via the text post with the filler text "Create a post". Videos and playlists can be attached - either your own or any uploaded video as seen in the image.
I believe an element of the feed might be called a "bulletin message" because when I inspect element in chrome "post-bulletin-message" is the name of the element.
Searching thru the API documentation as well as online only reveled this unspecific /unanswered question from 2010: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/youtube-api-gdata/4VYyMNsFdfk
Ideally:
* Post to feed
* hide/delete from feed
Needed attributes:
* text (optional)
* specify the optional video/playlist
There currently are API calls in the documentation to read the feed but not to post to it as far as I can determine.
Thanks in advance, any pointers are appreciated...
You can post a "channel bulletin" using version 3 of the Data API, via a youtube.activities.insert() call.
There's sample code in Java, Python, and Ruby linked to off of that page.
