Allows upload of watermark image and setting it for a channel.

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/youtube.upload
  • 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> watermarks set ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <channel-id> (string)
    • No description provided.

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:

InvideoBranding:
  image-bytes: string
  image-url: string
  position:
    corner-position: string
    type: string
  target-channel-id: string
  timing:
    duration-ms: string
    offset-ms: string
    type: 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 . image-bytes=duo
    • The bytes the uploaded image. Only used in api to youtube communication.
  • image-url=ea
    • The url of the uploaded image. Only used in apiary to api communication.
  • position corner-position=et
    • Describes in which corner of the video the visual widget will appear.

  • type=lorem

    • Defines the position type.

  • .. target-channel-id=justo

    • The channel to which this branding links. If not present it defaults to the current channel.
  • timing duration-ms=et
    • Defines the duration in milliseconds for which the promotion should be displayed. If missing, the client should use the default.
  • offset-ms=labore
    • Defines the time at which the promotion will appear. Depending on the value of type the value of the offsetMs field will represent a time offset from the start or from the end of the video, expressed in milliseconds.
  • type=ipsum
    • Describes a timing type. If the value is offsetFromStart, then the offsetMs field represents an offset from the start of the video. If the value is offsetFromEnd, then the offsetMs field represents an offset from the end of 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.

Required Upload Flags

This method supports the upload of data, which requires all of the following flags to be set:

  • -u simple
    • simple - Upload media all at once.
  • -f file
    • Path to file to upload. It must be seekable.

The following flag may be set:

  • -m mime
    • the mime type, like 'application/octet-stream', which is the default

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.

Optional General Properties

The following properties can configure any call, and are not specific to this method.

  • -p $-xgafv=string

    • V1 error format.

  • -p access-token=string

    • OAuth access token.

  • -p alt=string

    • Data format for response.

  • -p callback=string

    • JSONP

  • -p fields=string

    • Selector specifying which fields to include in a partial response.

  • -p key=string

    • API key. Your API key identifies your project and provides you with API access, quota, and reports. Required unless you provide an OAuth 2.0 token.

  • -p oauth-token=string

    • OAuth 2.0 token for the current user.

  • -p pretty-print=boolean

    • Returns response with indentations and line breaks.

  • -p quota-user=string

    • Available to use for quota purposes for server-side applications. Can be any arbitrary string assigned to a user, but should not exceed 40 characters.

  • -p upload-type=string

    • Legacy upload protocol for media (e.g. "media", "multipart").

  • -p upload-protocol=string

    • Upload protocol for media (e.g. "raw", "multipart").
