Informations about the package youtube
Laravel 5 - YouTube Video Upload
Please note, that this package will only work with a single YouTube account and does not support multiple accounts.
Installation
To install, use the following to pull the package in via Composer.
Now register the Service provider in config/app.php
And also add the alias to the same file.
Configuration
You now need to publish the youtube.php
config and migrations.
Now you'll want to run php artisan migrate
to create the youtube_access_tokens
table which as you would imagine, will contain your access tokens once you're authenticated correctly.
Obtaining your Credentials
If you haven't already, you'll need to create an application on Google's Developer Console. You then need to head into Credentials within the Console to create Server key.
You will be asked to enter your Authorised redirect URIs. When installing this package, the default redirect URI is http://laravel.dev/youtube/callback
. Of course, replacing the domain (laravel.dev
) with your applications domain name.
You can add multiple redirect URIs, for example you may want to add the URIs for your local, staging and production servers.
Once you are happy with everything, create the credentials and you will be provided with a Client ID and Client Secret. These now need to be added to your .env
file.
Authentication
For security reasons, the routes to authorize your channel with your Laravel application for disabled by default. You will need to enable them in your config/youtube.php
before doing the following.
Now your application is configured, we'll go through the inital authentication with Google. By default, the authorization route is /youtube/auth
. Simply visit this URI in your application and you will be redirect to Google to authenticate your YouTube account.
Assuming you were not presented with any errors during authentication, you will be redirected back to your application root. (/
).
Reviewing your Token
Previously, users of this package have reported issues with their access token(s). To ensure you have the correct token, you simply need to review the youtube_access_tokens
table you migrated earlier and review the value in the access_token
column.
You need to check that a refresh_token
exists within this value. If this is correct, you're all set to begin uploading.
You will also want to disable the routes used for authorization as they will no longer be required since you are now autheticated. The token you just reviewed, assuming as a refresh_token
will automatically be handled.
Upload a Video
To upload a video, you simply need to pass the full path to your video you wish to upload and specify your video information.
Here's an example:
The above will return the ID of the uploaded video to YouTube. (i.e dQw4w9WgXcQ)
By default, video uploads are public. If you would like to change the privacy of the upload, you can do so by passing a third parameter to the upload method.
For example, the below will upload the video as unlisted
.

If you would like to set a custom thumbnail for for upload, you can use the withThumbnail()
method via chaining.
Please note, the maxiumum filesize for the thumbnail is 2MB. Setting a thumbnail will not work if you attempt to use a thumbnail that exceeds this size.
