part

The part parameter specifies a comma-separated list of one or more activity resource properties that the API response will include. The default value is snippet, see findParts for all valid values.

channel.id

for.channel.id

on.behalf.of.content.owner

This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. 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. The default value is NULL, must be used in conjonction with on.behalf.of.content.owner.channel.channel

order

Specifies the method that will be used to sort resources in the API response. The default value is relevance, see findParams.

on.behalf.of.content.owner.channel

This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. Note: This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. Specifies the YouTube channel ID of the channel to which a video is being added. This parameter is required when a request specifies a value for the on.behalf.of.content.owner parameter, and it can only be used in conjunction with that parameter. In addition, the request must be authorized using a CMS account that is linked to the content owner that the on.behalf.of.content.owner parameter specifies. Finally, the channel that the on.behalf.of.content.owner.channel parameter value specifies must be linked to the content owner that the on.behalf.of.content.owner parameter specifies.

verbose

If TRUE prints infromational messages in the console. The default value is FALSE.

Details

Must specify one (and only one) channel.id, id, mine (TRUE), my.subscribers (TRUE)
