Workflow

Request: the code to send to the API

Send an API request to the following endpoint to update a section of a YouTube channel:

PUT /update/identities/<identity_token>/youtube/channel/section/<section_id>.json

The <identity_token> is obtained whenever one of your users connects with YouTube. The <section_id> must be part of the channel sections that the identity is currently configured to be an administrator of.

In order to use this endpoint the permissions Manage Videos, Manage Account and Account Access must be enabled in the YouTube settings in your OneAll account .
