According to this https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/push_notifications
I can subscribe to a youtube channel & receive push notification for any new video.
My callback server is a php script which interprets POST/GET data:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['hub_challenge'])) {
print $_GET['hub_challenge'];
}
else {
$xml=file_get_contents("php://input");
file_put_contents('endpoint.txt',$xml);
}
?>
But $xml
is empty. In the docs it says:
The YouTube Data API (v3) supports push notifications via PubSubHubbub, a server-to-server publish/subscribe protocol for Web-accessible resources. Notifications are pushed out to subscribers via HTTP webhooks, which is much more efficient than polling-based solutions.
But it does not specify how does it send the data....whether in POST body or in somewhere else.
So How do I get the atom feed in my script?
EDIT: I should probably ask a new question for this...but anyway....I tried this channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCATp8LNTjzjNlLxdArp0Myg); but when I try to subscribe it says "restricted topic" (I did not provide token
as it is a public channel). Same for any other channel ID. Is something wrong with my callback server? I also tried runscope url as a callback server for testing. But it did not help.
