I get no error codes; everything seems to be validating correctly etc but simply nothing is happening on the YouTube channel. I have exceeded my limit rate so something has to be happening, but nothing that i can actually see. My code as follows
import os
import pickle
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
credentials = None #sets credentials to none
if os.path.exists('token.pickle'): #checks for our pickle file and opens it if it exists
print('loading credentials from file...')
with open('token.pickle', 'rb') as token: #rb opens byte file
credentials = pickle.load(token) #loads our information(token) from pickle
#validates the credentials, if none are found makes and finds the credentials
if not credentials or not credentials.valid:
if credentials and credentials.expired and credentials.refresh_token:
print('refreshing access token...')
credentials.refresh(Request())
else:
print('fetching new tokens...')
flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file('client_secrets.json', scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube'])
flow.run_local_server(port=8080, prompt='consent', authorization_prompt_message='')
credentials = flow.credentials
#saves credentials for next run
with open('token.pickle', 'wb') as f:
print("saving credentials for future use...")
pickle.dump(credentials, f)
#builds youtube and validates our credentials
youtube = build('youtube', "v3", credentials=credentials)
playlist_name = str(input('name of playlist: '))
#makes the playlist
requests = youtube.playlists().insert(
part="snippet,status",
body={
"snippet": {
"title": playlist_name,
"description": "This is a sample playlist description.",
"tags": [
"sample playlist",
"API call"
],
"defaultLanguage": "en"
},
"status": {
"privacyStatus": "public"
}
}
)
response = requests.execute()
print(response)
