Uses platform quota
Synchronous response
Reads public data

Parameters

NOT on the usual host path: uploads go to /upload/youtube/v3/videos, and the metadata JSON above is only the FIRST leg. With uploadType=resumable this call returns HTTP 200 and a `Location` header — a session URL you then PUT the video bytes to (in one PUT, or in ranged chunks using Content-Range for resumability). Needs the `post` capability (youtube.upload); a `read` connection 403s. Upload the thumbnail afterwards via youtube.video.thumbnail.set — snippet.thumbnails on this call is ignored

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
Query parameters
`part`	string	Required	which parts of the metadata you are sending — snippet,status is the working minimum; add id to get it back	`id,snippet,status`
`uploadType`	string	Required	resumable for anything real (survives a dropped connection); multipart only for small files	`resumable`
`notifySubscribers`	boolean	Optional	default true — subscribers get a notification. Set false for a re-upload or a correction	`true`
