YouTube

YouTube is Google's video platform, and this connector reaches the creator side of it — videos, playlists, comments, subscriptions, live streaming, channel memberships and analytics.

Authentication

  • OAuth 2.0

Actions

Generic API request. Call any YouTube API endpoint on this connection, for the case where no shipped action covers it yet. The connection supplies the base URL, the authentication and the egress route, so only the path, query and body are yours to fill.
