Adding youtube video to playlist using YouTube Data API v3 in Python

Question

I want to create a script to add a youtube video into playlist in my channel using YouTube Data API v3. I tried with the help of this question and wrote this code with help of example code given Here

    import os
    import sys

    from apiclient.errors import HttpError

    def add_video_to_playlist(youtube,videoID,playlistID):

         add_video_to_playlist(youtube,"yszl2oxi8IY","PL2JW1S4IMwYubm06iDKfDsmWVB-J8funQ")

but I am getting error that I am not able to figure out

    alok@alok:~/exp/python/youtube$ python playlist.py 
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "playlist.py", line 83, in <module>

        add_video_request=youtube.playlistItem().insert(
    AttributeError: 'Resource' object has no attribute 'playlistItem'

could anyone tell me where I am wrong?

Answer 1

code is correct, there is only spelling mistake. playlistItem() should be playlistItems()

correct code is:

    import os
    import sys

    from apiclient.discovery import build
    from apiclient.errors import HttpError
    from oauth2client.client import flow_from_clientsecrets

Answer 2

The method is "playlistItems()" (with an "s")

(I'm assuming your indentation is only wrong here question, and not in your actual code)
