how to adapt the extension class to the upload class and auth class provided by youtube api

[azizOSX]

i came across your stack overFlow post which was about youtube uploading authentication I have been facing the same issue which you solved in your post. I tried to apply your solution on my Code but i have some issues, could you please guide me how i can use your class, ExtendedAuthorizationCodeInstalledApp in my project.

I took the following classes from your GitHub post into my project, Auth, SocialMediaRequestJSON, SocialMediaConstants, GoogleRequestJSON, and lastly i tried to update my video upload class to follow your UploadVideoHelper algorithm . But what am not sure that understand correctly is

public Object uploadVideo(SocialMediaRequestJSON socialMediaRequestJSON){
//// your upload vide function
}

who’s filling this socialMediaRequestJSON object and and who’s providing it to uploadVideo function , i mean these and do i already have them

private String userid;
private String credentialDatastore;
private String code;

?

bellow is my project details :

I am designing a Rest service which receive a post upload request from html form , in the request i am attaching the video which i will be uploading as a File,

i was able to upload successfully but i have to authenticate every time i ask for uploading, so i found your solution which i really need to adapt.

My code has Three classes only,

userService class
- Has the UploadVidz function that receive a post request to upload a video , and trigger my video uploading function in UploadVideo Class.
UploadVideo class
- The actual class which was provided by google api i only edited it to accept my video file and all its data
- it has main function that takes my video file and other details about the video like title, .. etc and perform the uploading
- It authenticate the upload using Auth class which was provided by google.
Auth class
-The actual class from google api, with no modification from my side

Kindly guide me on how to adapt your classes to my project.

Hi Aziz, Sorry I could not go through your code but I will do it whenever I get an opportunity . Meanwhile I would suggest go through the following steps 1.Here the main portion is the ExtendedAuthorizationCodeInstalledApp class which is the replacement of the actual AuthorizationCodeInstalledApp class which you will find in the google sample code google-sample-for-authorization<https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/java#authorize_a_request> .If you go through the code once then you will understand that there is a authorize method which check the stored directory path for the userid if not found create an url which the user has to authenticate but there is a listener which starts listening when the url is created and stops when the users authenticate[The listener is nothing but the jetty server which is embedded in the library].Once the user authenticate the token is exchanged with the refresh token and is saved as a serialized object in the file . 2.So, to use my ExtendedAuthorizationCodeInstalledApp you must create a mechanism to listen after the user authenticate and saves the credentials i.e. you have to have an endpoint in your server to listen . 3.Another challenge will be to identify the user from the google callback ,for this we need to attach an custom information in the user authentication request in the initial phase when you are creating the url Code snippet from ExtendedAuthorizationCodeInstalledApp /*Inside state parameter we can encode our custom parameter that * will be received after callback*/ AuthorizationCodeRequestUrl authorizationUrl =flow.newAuthorizationUrl() .setRedirectUri(redirectUri) .set("state", Base64.encodeBase64String(request.getBytes())); 4.Otherwise if the user is already authorized then it will return a Credential object which was previously returned by AuthorizationCodeInstalledApp of the google-sample-for-authorization<https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/java#authorize_a_request>. I think that this will serve your problem but you can reach out to me for any queries .

Thank you for your reply, i have few questions,

1- The URL that is being created for authentication is it automatically built and linked with an HTML interface or it has to be done on my side, because on my project my code does the request for authorization correctly but when its forward for the HTML page it give me page not found error 404.

2- for ExtendedAuthorizationCodeInstalledApp i understood how i should use it which to use it and design a listener that detect user authorization and i need to parse it using this code to get the userID

/Inside state parameter we can encode our custom parameter that * will be received after callback/ AuthorizationCodeRequestUrl authorizationUrl =flow.newAuthorizationUrl() .setRedirectUri(redirectUri) .set("state", Base64.encodeBase64String(request.getBytes()));

But i really don't know how to do it, am stuck for 4 weeks so far, do you have a sample project which does all this authentication using your class? ?.

i have updated my code so you can easily run it when you have time, you need eclipse, sample google client id and secret, and add local host for redirect URL in google project website, then once you run the code an HTML form will lunch chose the video and hit upload.

Hello, i was going through your codes, which is here in the repository,

could you explain the following:

1- in your YoutubeService.java class

public Object post(String client) { uploadVideoHelper=new UploadVideoHelper(); //String uploadVideoName=youtubeRequestJSON.getVideopath(); Object returnedVideo=uploadVideoHelper.uploadVideo(youtubeRequestJSON); return returnedVideo; }

you have the following function which takes a client id and make video upload request and provide the uploadVideo function with an object of youtubeRequestJSON.

then in side

your youtube upload helper class you have

`public Object uploadVideo(SocialMediaRequestJSON socialMediaRequestJSON) {
boolean isCallback = false;
Credential credential;
String code = "";

    // This OAuth 2.0 access scope allows an application to upload files
    // to the authenticated user's YouTube channel, but doesn't allow
    // other types of access.
    List<String> scopes = Lists.newArrayList("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload");

    //extracting the code from the socialmediarequestJSON this will
    //determine that the quest came from google redirect.
    if (socialMediaRequestJSON != null && **socialMediaRequestJSON.getCode()** != "") {
        System.out.println("client is base 64 encoded....");
        **code = socialMediaRequestJSON.getCode();**
        //setting the callback flag on
        isCallback = true;
        try {
            **credential = new Auth().authorize(scopes, socialMediaRequestJSON.getUserid(), isCallback, code);**
            System.out.println("User credential saved . Thanks " + socialMediaRequestJSON.getCredentialDatastore() + " ! ");
        } catch (IOException | URISyntaxException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    } else {
        /* normal call to upload videos */
        try {
            // Authorize the request.
            //Credential credential = new Auth().authorize(scopes, "uploadvideo");
            System.out.println("uploading video in Youtube.");

            credential = new Auth().authorize(scopes, socialMediaRequestJSON.getUserid(), isCallback, code);

`
the function takes SocialMediaRequestJSON object and then it get a code from this object and use that code to authorize the request.

i was trying to follow your upload and authorization algorithm , but i tried to track this code all over your code , am still did know where does this code came from ?

i can see that you have created that object as a new empty object in your class YoutubeService.java class so what i understood the code is empty :.

could you clarify where to get this code if i want to use your code in my project.

thank you so much,

regards

The control starts from SocialMediaController which has overloaded handleRequest() 1st is for the callback that will come from google once it is authorises the app and 2nd for other usage .

Next it comes to GoogleService then comes to the YoutubeService .The reason for making this layer is to plugin any google service in future.
