So I have a script, and am trying to access the youtube API through sockets. Endgame goal: add a youtube video to a youtube playlist. so far I can store the youtube video ID, but just need to figure out how to add that ID to a playlist through the youtube API. I was able to do this through google's "try it feature" at the bottom of this page:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems/insert but when I try to access the API through mIRC script, it seems like nothing happens.
alias youtube {
sockopen ytube www.googleapis.com 443
}
on *:sockopen:ytube:{
if ($sockerr) {
sockclose $sockname
halt
}
sockwrite -n $sockname GET /youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=id&playlistId=<playlist ID Here>&key=<api key here> HTTP/1.1
sockwrite -n $sockname Host: www.googleapis.com $crlf $+ $crlf
echo -tag socket write
}
on *:sockread:ytube:{
if ($sockerr) {
sockclose $sockname
halt
}
;This is where I have tried reading the socket, seeing what was being read, even just msg # read sockets. Nothing happens.
}
Obviously, I removed my playlist ID, and API key, but I know they are good, because When I go to the api url in my browser, it pulls up the playlist and all, so I know the url is good as well as the API key I am using.
So like I said, nothing seems to happen after the sockets are opened. Am I doing it wrong?
This is what it looks like when I pull it up in my browser:
{
"kind": "youtube#playlistItemListResponse",
"etag": "\"jSSWBfHLqA4YDVcP7dOWTvijbRo/C5H7H2Kp11az9zUYXUUF1rICsA8\"",
"pageInfo": {
"totalResults": 1,
"resultsPerPage": 5
},
"items": [
{
"kind": "youtube#playlistItem",
"etag": "\"jSSWBfHLqA4YDVcP7dOWTvijbRo/YW4O1EVPAaOqaFMFKk8Q2EYA8uM\"",
"id": "PLcsh5-UPddz_PFHkGNTxkhs3RilAMb3U09YGFOwlOfMg"
}
]
}
Looking for suggestions... To actually add a video to the playlist, I know I will need to use POST instead of GET, but I am just trying to verify that I can even connect and read info, which doesn't seem to be working.
