404 error when uploading/inserting a video via youtube/v3

Environment details

• OS type and version: Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS - 5.4.0-7642-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux
• Python version: python 3.8.5
• pip version: pip 20.2.2
• google-api-python-client version: 1.12.1

Steps to reproduce

1. Authenticate
2. Upload a video using youtube data API

Result

Intent to upload a file results into a 404 error, which it seems related to the endpoint availability. But according to the docs, the endpoint is the correct one (https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/insert).

Expected outcome

Any other error but 404 😢

Code example

from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
import httplib2
httplib2.debuglevel = 4
from apiclient.http import MediaFileUpload
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
    'client_secret.json',
    scopes= ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload",
          "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl",
          "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube",
          "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner",
          "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly"] )

flow.run_local_server()

credentials = flow.credentials
service = build('youtube', 'v3', credentials=credentials)
video_service = service.videos()


body = {
    "snippet" : {
        "title": "I can't upload this UwU",
        "description": "some description"
    },
    "status" : {
        "privacyStatus": "private"
    }
}

FILE = "./output.mp4"
# Call the API's videos.insert method to create and upload the video.
insert_request = video_service.insert(
    part=",".join(body.keys()),
    body=body,
    media_body=MediaFileUpload(FILE, mimetype='application/octet-stream', resumable=True)
)

try:
    insert_request.execute()
except Exception as e:
    print(e)
    error = e

I can confirm that it is working now over here. The API now discovers the correct endpoint googleapis.com instead youtube.googleapis.com.

I’m closing this issue as the problem seems unrelated to the library itself and it is already solved.

Mysteriously working here too now. Maybe an ssl cert expired somewhere in google… 😃
