How to Publish a Video to YouTube

  1. Connect your YouTube account: Link your channel in the dashboard so it appears as a selectable connected account. Use its account_id in the request.

  2. Provide the video: Set media_url to the public URL of the video you want to publish. The video must be reachable so it can be uploaded.

  3. Add metadata: Set title (max 100 characters, required), an optional description, and tags as an array of keywords.

  4. Set category and privacy: Choose category_id (e.g. 22 for People & Blogs, 27 for Education) and privacy (public, private, or unlisted). Set made_for_kids if the content is directed at children.

  5. Submit and track: The API returns a request_id. Poll the result endpoint until status is completed; the output contains the published YouTube url.
