I am using curl/postman tested. Can post video to youtube server, but snippet data ignored always, frustrating, thanks in advance.

curl

$ curl -X POST --proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 \
-H "Authorization: token_here" \
-H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" \
-F "''={'snippet':{'title' : 'TITLE_TEXT', 'description': 'DESCRIPTION_TEXT'}}" \
-F "''=@file_to_upload" \
https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/videos\?part\=snippet

  • I would suggest that you use the client libraries as also suggested in a [related question](http://stackoverflow.com/a/13277596/5995040). This will make requesting or doing any interaction with the API easier. But if you would still have to use curl, you might want to read about this [YouTube API v3 over HTTP POST](http://stackoverflow.com/a/36213106/5995040) which get this to work by making 2 API calls - one to upload the video and getting the resulting ID, and a second to update the video by that ID. – Mr.Rebot Nov 03 '16 at 14:43
  • thanks, I have used the same solution as you suggest. But I am still wondering if this can be accomplished in 1 http request. – Roger Nov 03 '16 at 14:46
