Can't download video captions using youtube API v3 in python - python

I am trying to download closed captions for this public youtube video (just for testing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txvud7wPbv4
I am using the code sample(captions.py) below that i got from this link https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/captions/download
I have already stored the client-secrets.json(oauth2 authentification) and youtube-v3-api-captions.json in the same directory (asked in the sample code)
I put this code line in cmd : python captions.py --videoid='Txvud7wPbv4' --action='download'
I get this error:
I don't know why it doesn't recognise the video id of this public video.
Anyone had the a similar issue ?
Thank you all in advance.

Your app seems overly-complex... it's structured to be able to do everything that can be done w/captions, not just download. That makes it harder to debug, so I wrote an abridged (Python 2 or 3) version that just downloads & displays captions:

from __future__ import print_function
from googleapiclient import discovery
from httplib2 import Http
from oauth2client import file, client, tools
SCOPES = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl'
store = file.Storage('storage.json')
creds = store.get()
if not creds or creds.invalid:
flow = client.flow_from_clientsecrets('client_secret.json', SCOPES)
creds = tools.run_flow(flow, store)
YOUTUBE = discovery.build('youtube', 'v3', http=creds.authorize(Http()))
def process(vid):
caption_info = YOUTUBE.captions().list(
part='id', videoId=vid).execute().get('items', [])

if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
if len(sys.argv) == 2:
vid = sys.argv[1]
process(vid)
else:
print('Usage: python captions-download.py VIDEO_ID')
The way it works is this:
You pass in the video ID (VID) as the only argument (sys.argv[1])
It uses that VID to look up the caption IDs with
YOUTUBE.captions().list()
Assuming the video has (at least) one caption track, I grab its ID (caption_info[0]['id'])
Then it calls YOUTUBE.captions().download() with that caption ID requesting the srt track format
All individual captions are delimited by double NEWLINEs, so split on 'em
Loop through each caption; there's data if there are at least 2 NEWLINEs in the line, so only split() on the 1st pair
Display the caption#, timeline of when it appears, then the caption itself, changing all remaining NEWLINEs to spaces
When I run it, I get the expected result... here on a video I own:
$ python captions-download.py MY_VIDEO_ID
01) [00:00:06,390 --> 00:00:09,280] iterator cool but that's cool
02) [00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,280] your the moment
03) [00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:16,380] and sellers very thrilled
:
Couple of things...
I think you need to be the owner of the video you're trying to download the captions for.
I tried my script on your video, and I get a 403 HTTP Forbidden error
Here are other errors you may get from the API
In your case, it looks like something is messing up the video ID you're passing in.
It thinks you're giving it <code> and </code> (notice the hex 0x3c & 0x3e values)... rich text?
Anyway, this is why I wrote my own, shorter version... so I have a more controlled environment to experiment.
FWIW, since you're new to using Google APIs, I've made a couple of intro videos I made to get developers on-boarded with using Google APIs in this playlist. The auth code is the toughest, so focus on videos 3 and 4 in that playlist to help get you acclimated.
I don't really have any videos that cover YouTube APIs (as I focus more on G Suite APIs) although I do have the one Google Apps Script example (video 22 in playlist); if you're new to Apps Script, you need to review your JavaScript then check out video 5 first. Hope this helps!

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

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.

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

Why I got this error? And how to fix this error
I just tested your code and... It's working completely fine.
The job name must be unique for within a reportTypeId, so that error means that you used the name Playlist user activity for another job of the same type already.
That is not clear in the documentation. You can open an issue about the docs on their issue tracker here

Youtube Data API keeps asking for authorization

I am trying to make a simple python program which uses the Youtube Data API to retrieve results based on Youtube search queries.
I have created my OAuth credentials and have a client_secrets JSON. Everytime I run my python program it keeps asking me to get an authorization key so I can make the query. I have to open chrome and travel to the URL the API gives to me and log into my Google account and paste the key.
Can someone demonstrate how I can go about making this process automatic? I have read online and on stackoverflow that I would need a refresh token, or somehow store one so that it does not prompt me to authorize each time.
My code (copied from https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list):

I just run into the same problem. After searching through the "YouTube Data Api v3" documentation I found this:
If you are using the installed app flow, authorization credentials are not stored in this sample code, so subsequent executions will prompt for reauthorization.
So I guess you should instead use the "Web Server App" flow. There's no way around this.
Try this 😎
def get_authenticated_service():
try:
credentials = google.oauth2.credentials.Credentials.from_authorized_user_file(CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE)
except ValueError as e: # first run with new secret.json
flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE, SCOPES)
credentials = flow.run_console()
with open(CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE, 'w') as file:
file.write(credentials.to_json())
return build(API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials=credentials)

i want to download file from google drive using Drive Api

in this code :
file_id = '0BwwA4oUTeiV1UVNwOHItT0xfa2M'
request = drive_service.files().get_media(fileId=file_id)
fh = io.BytesIO()
downloader = MediaIoBaseDownload(fh, request)
done = False
while done is False:
status, done = downloader.next_chunk()
print "Download %d%%." % int(status.progress() * 100)
I don't know how to get file_id , I was getting file_id while uploading but now I am not able to figure out how to get file_id of the file which is present on Google Drive.
Ex. if my uploaded file has name A001002.pdf , how can i get file id for this file.
there is some reference online which i am not able to understand.
link: files.list
any help?
The file.list method contains a q paramater which is used for searching

items = results.get('files', [])
if not items:
print('No files found.')
else:
print('Files:')
for item in items:
print('{0} ({1})'.format(item['name'], item['id']))
Note this example does not show how to add the additional parameter i am still Googling that but i am not a python dev you may know more about how to do that than me.
Depending on your implementation, there is one more alternative. In case you do not need to programmatically get the fileID you can just open the file in google docs from the browser and the ID is shown in the URL.

this code is working fine but youtube authentication url open in default browser and redirect url is "localhost:8080"
i changed the redirect uri in my client json file but its not working
My questions are:
How to use existing browser for authentication url
Where to change the redirect URL
apiclient and oauth2client two apps are used in this API code
Please suggest any idea to solve this problem
You can change the redirect URL from Google Developer Console.
