Anyone out there have experience with the YouTube/Google API?
I am trying to login to Google/Youtube using clientLogin, retrieve an AuthSub token, exchange it for a multi-session token and then use it in our upload form.
Just a note that we are not going to have other users logging into our (secure) website, this is for our use only (no multi-users). We just want a way to upload videos to our YT account via our own website without having to login/upload to YouTube.
Ultimately, everything is dependent on the first step. My AuthSub token is always being returned as invalid (Error '403').
All the steps I used are below with username/password changed. Anyone have an insight on why my AuthSub is always invalid? I am spending an enormous amount of time trying to get this to work.
STEP 1: Getting the authsub token from Youtube/Google
POST /youtube/accounts/ClientLogin HTTP/1.1
