[YouTube-API] Re: Is developer key specific to each user?

Hi Jeff,

           I seem to have similar problem as the OP's. I am using Cientlogi and able to successfully upload a video to my account. I am not using youtube API, but just the .net webclient object for request and response. I used my developer key & account credentials to upload a video successfully, but when  I do the same to different account(with proper credentials & MY Developer key) it throws a 403 forbidden error. I am not sure what the error is. Can you explain what steps are to be taken to solve this problem?

Hello John,

 You can upload videos into any account that you have an authorization token for, regardless of the account you used to register your developer key.

 There are a number of reasons why ClientLogin could fail. It's officially deprecated, and we recommend using OAuth 2 instead. There's a blog post talking about ClientLogin failure scenarios at

Can some one help me..

I am a java developer.. Using YouTube client log in authentication in my app.

I registered as a developer in YouTube, i have client id & developer key. The question is, can i upload videos to different users with the same developer key which i obtained after registration? I tried for it, but getting some error

-----------

com.google.gdata.util.AuthenticationException: Error authenticating (check service name)

-----------

My code is 

YouTubeService service = new YouTubeService(<my_client_id>, <my_developer_key>);

service.setUserCredentials(<user1_username>, <user1_password>); (this statement changes for each user, remaining all are same)

<upload code here>
