I'm using Google's YouTube API Explorer (alternate) to look up information on an arbitrary streaming broadcast.
No matter what I put into the id
field, I always get back
{
"error": {
"errors": [{
"domain": "youtube.liveBroadcast",
"reason": "liveStreamingNotEnabled",
"message": "The user is not enabled for live streaming.",
"extendedHelp": "https://www.youtube.com/features"
}],
"code": 403,
"message": "The user is not enabled for live streaming."
}
}
This seems ridiculous, considering that the video is plainly streaming.
It occurred to me that I might have misunderstood the instructions for the id
field, so I've tried a couple different possibilities. These include...
- The Channel ID (
UCHZoP1Jy-g_h3sqzScrOEwQ
) - The User ID (
GWTV
) - The Video ID (
J_RrkyIOVhg
)
...each to no avail.
How can I ask a channel about its live streaming videos? This question would have answered that in the past, but the comments indicate that the answer no longer works. This question wasn't really any help either.
