Youtube : we have made your content private - spam, deceptive practices and scams policy-CodePudding

When uploading the youtube video via Youtube API(Python), youtube makes the video private, whereas when I upload the same video via youtube.com, there is no error and video is uploaded successfully.

Could anyone please explain what could be the possible error.

CodePudding user response：

according to this issue on github , you need to verify your account to upload public videos using apis.

CodePudding user response：

As stated at the top of the page for Video.insert

All videos uploaded via the videos.insert endpoint from unverified API projects created after 28 July 2020 will be restricted to private viewing mode. To lift this restriction, each API project must undergo an audit to verify compliance with the Terms of Service. Please see the API Revision History for more details.

You need to apply for an audit of your application. Once you have passed the audit you will then be able to upload video's that are public.
