Couldn't you have bypassed them and used `yt-dlp` or something similar? Why get Google/YouTube's permission at all about this?

Why get Google/YouTube's permission at all about this?
- leros 2y agoI was creating YouTube channels and uploading videos to them on behalf of my users. That requires using the YouTube API.
- dudus 2y agoCan you let the user bring their own API key?
- leros 2y agoNo. The default API quota is not large enough to upload videos. You would have to contact Google, explain your use case, and jump through several hoops to get the quota increased... which is a huge process.
- PokestarFan 2y agoI once tried using a Python library to upload videos with an API key. All videos uploaded got forced private due to "spam".
- leros 2y agoYeah. Uploading legit videos is non-trivial. And if you ever upload the same video twice (which you think you might do during testing, right?), it's a violation of their terms and they disable your access.
