Report abuse for a video.

Scopes

You will need authorization for at least one of the following scopes to make a valid call:

  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube. You can set the scope for this method like this: youtube3 --scope <scope> videos report-abuse ...

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

VideoAbuseReport:
  comments: string
  language: string
  reason-id: string
  secondary-reason-id: string
  video-id: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . comments=consetetur
    • Additional comments regarding the abuse report.
  • language=lorem
    • The language that the content was viewed in.
  • reason-id=rebum.
    • The high-level, or primary, reason that the content is abusive. The value is an abuse report reason ID.
  • secondary-reason-id=sadipscing
    • The specific, or secondary, reason that this content is abusive (if available). The value is an abuse report reason ID that is a valid secondary reason for the primary reason.
  • video-id=stet
    • The ID that YouTube uses to uniquely identify the video.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Method Properties

You may set the following properties to further configure the call. Please note that -p is followed by one or more key-value-pairs, and is called like this -p k1=v1 k2=v2 even though the listing below repeats the -p for completeness.

  • -p on-behalf-of-content-owner=string
    • Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner.
