[YouTube-API] Re: Retrieving current access token

Hello Rucha,

 That's not a supported means of retrieving caption data; please do not do that. You're required to use the approved methods that we outline in our documentation:

  https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_captions

Hello Jeffrey ,

I am also trying to retrieve caption from youtube but using a different approach. 

using 

http://www.youtube.com/api/timedtext?v=<videoid>&lang=en

I am able to retrieve an XML after sending this request for some videos. BUt not able to retrieve the response for some videos. Why do you think it behaves differently with some videos ?

@Pavan : Have you tried this approach ?

Hello Pavan,

 So you're using ClientLogin (whether you know it or not), and to retrieve the ClientLogin token from an already authenticated instance of the YouTubeService class you should be able to follow the example at

  https://developers.google.com/gdata/docs/auth/clientlogin#RecallAuthToken

(under "Recalling an auth token"). You can then use that ClientLogin token value to manually construct a HTTP Authentication header so that it looks like

  Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=<CLIENT_LOGIN_TOKEN>

Just be aware that ClientLogin tokens expire after a period of time, so you can't reuse it indefinitely.

Hello ,

 

I am using the following authentication for making API requests.

 

 

YouTubeService service = new YouTubeService("YoutubePersonalUploader", developerKey);
 service.setUserCredentials(username, password);
    

I can successfully upload videos to youtube with service.insert command. I would like to retrieve captions for the uploaded video, for that purpose i need  to give access token in the http request.

 

How can i extract current access token for this service so that i can make a http request with that?

 

Regards,
Pavan
