Upload a video to YouTube and add it to a playlist using the YouTube v3 data API in Python

Question

I wrote a script to upload videos to YouTube using the YouTube v3 data API in python using the example given in the sample code ,

And I wrote another script to add the downloaded video to the playlist using the same YouTube 3 data API that you can see here

After that, I wrote one script to upload the video and add this video to the playlist. In this I took care of authentication and errors, but I get a permission error. here is my new script

MAX_RETRIES = 10 # Always retry when these exceptions are raised.

I can’t understand what’s wrong. I get a permission error. both scripts work fine independently.

can someone help me figure out where I'm wrong, or how to get the video to load and add this playlist.

Answer 1

I got an answer, both in an independent area of ​​the script, and in another.
to download - https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload "
to add to the playlist " https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube "

since the scope is different, so I had to handle authentication separately.
