Laravel 5 - YouTube API Wrapper
Based on Dawson/Youtube
If you've ever needed to upload videos to a single YouTube channel or you need request data from your Laravel 5 application, then hopefully this is the package for you.
Installation
Add the following to your composer.json
.
After you've added the above, run composer update
to pull it in. Once your update has finished, we'll need to add the service provider to your config/app.php
Then add the alias...
Configuration
Run php artisan vendor:publish
to publish the migrations and config. Then migrate the database with, php artisan migrate
.
This will create our youtube_access_tokens
and channels
table which will of course, hold our access tokens once we've authenticated with Google.
Next it's time to configure our settings in config/youtube.php
makes use of environment variables to ensure no secret crentials make way into version control. So add the following variables to your .env
file.
You can find these values on Google's developer console for your application.
Now set up your applications callback, you can find this on your config/youtube.php
. By default it's set to http://yourapp.co.uk/youtube-callback
If you're unsure of how to use enviroment variables, Jeffrey Way helps clear the fog over at Laracasts with his Environments and Configuration lesson with Laravel 5.
Authentication
Now our application is configured, we'll go through the inital authentication with Google. By default, the authorization route is /youtube-auth
but you can change this in config/youtube.php
should you wish to.
Proceed with hitting the auth route in your application of which you will be sent to Google to authorize your YouTube account/channel. Once authorized, you will be redirected back to your application assuming you correctly configured your callback.
Upload a Video
Once you have complete the above, your Laravel application will now be authorized to make requests to YouTube. Specifically in this case, uploading a video by passing the full path to the file you wish to upload..
To upload a video, do the following:
The above will return the ID of the uploaded video to YouTube.
You also have the option to pass a second parameter as an array with the following available keys.
- title
string
- description
string
- category_id
integer

array
It's that simple!
