I'm using curl with YouTube API v3 to create a broadcast, modify video title, etc without any issues. My problem is when I try to add a thumbnail to a video using the docs from Google.
Here is my sample with the keys changed for security reasons:
curl --request POST -v \"https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/thumbnails/set\?videoId=RoZypUhZY04\&uploadType=media\&key=mykey" \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer my_access_token' \ --header 'Content-Type: image/jpeg'\ -F 'file=@/Users/adviner/Projects/Prototypes/VendorAPI/source/YouTube/YouTube-BOS.jpg'\ -F 'filename=YouTube-BOS.jpg'
I have tried:
-F 'image=@/Users/adviner/Projects/Prototypes/VendorAPI/source/YouTube/YouTube-BOS.jpg'\
In the documentation it says to use the following URL to POST the image:
https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/thumbnails/set
but when you view the sample it says to use:
https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/thumbnails/set
I have tried both and it seems that the images are properly uploaded but I get the following errors:
For the first URL: https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/thumbnails/set
{"error": {"code": 400,"message": "Media type 'image/jpeg; boundary=------------------------136ebfc0c8146cb8' is not supported. ","errors": [ {"message": "Media type 'image/jpeg; boundary=------------------------136ebfc0c8146cb8' is not supported. ","domain": "global","reason": "badRequest" } ],"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT" }}
When using the URL: https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/thumbnails/set
{"error": {"code": 400,"message": "The request does not include the image content.","errors": [ {"message": "The request does not include the image content.","domain": "youtube.thumbnail","reason": "mediaBodyRequired","location": "body","locationType": "other" } ] }}
Any ideas on what I'm missing?
Thanks
