My original purpose is to get all of the channels that a user manages. I found a code snippet that does exactly that: https://developers.google.com/youtube/partner/code_samples/python#retrieve_a_content_owner_s_managed_channels
However, it seems to rely on the YouTube Content ID API, when I run it I get the following error:
YouTube Content ID API has not been used in project ... before or it is disabled.
However, the YouTube Content ID API doesn't show in the projects console. I manage several YouTube channels, and one of them is part of the YouTube Partner Program. So, my question is, how do I get access to the YouTube Content ID API?
I've been reading about this for several hours and found several conflicting statements.
Here, saying:
As a YouTube partner, you can use the API...
Here, saying:
in order to be able to access the ContentID API, you have to be part of the ContentID Partner Program, not the YouTube Partner Program. However, you're not likely going to have ContentID access if you don't have major copyright management control issues
Which is weird, since the data I need has nothing to do which copyrights at all, so why would I need an API that relates to that to get it?
Here, saying:
You don't see it in the list auf available APIs, unless your account is connected to a CMS and some time has past... It takes 7-14 days unless the Content ID API is available for your account. This is a information i got from the support, but they told me, that it is an automated step.
So, which one is it? If I'm only part of the YouTube Partner Program, should I just wait for 2 weeks until the API shows up in my console? Or does it actually require to be in the ContentID Partner Program (which is not the case here)?
