Using curl to upload video to DailyMotion, all requests returning successful but video still not uploaded

I have implemented the following Bash script with which I'm trying to upload videos to my Dailymotion account. All the curl requests return JSON responses as listed on the official API documentation pages. However, my video fails to show up in my account. What am I doing wrong here?

#!/bin/bash


    curl -s --output out.txt --data 'grant_type=password&client_id=<My-ID>&client_secret=<My-Secret>&username=<My-Username>&password=<My-password>&scope=read+write' https://api.dailymotion.com/oauth/token

    var1=$(grep "access_token" out.txt | cut -d: --complement -f1)
    acc_token=$(echo $var1 | cut -d, -f1 | cut -d\" --complement -f1 | cut -d\" -f1)

    curl -s --output out.txt -i https://api.dailymotion.com/file/upload?access_token="$acc_token"        
    upload_url=$(grep "upload_url" out.txt | cut -d: --complement -f1 | cut -d\" --complement -f1 | cut -d\" -f1 | sed 's/\\//g')

    curl -s --output out.txt -F 'file=@/home/zahaib/video.mp4' "$upload_url"
    video_url=$(grep "url" out.txt | cut -d: --complement -f1-10 | cut -d\" --complement -f1 | cut -d# -f1 )

    curl -s --output out.txt -d $video_url https://api.dailymotion.com/me/videos?access_token="$acc_token"
    video_id=$(grep "id" out.txt | cut -d: --complement -f1 | cut -d\" --complement -f1 | cut -d\" -f1 )

    curl -s --output out.txt -d 'title=Vid&channel=sport&tags=was' https://api.dailymotion.com/video/"$video_id"/access_token="$acc_token"
    curl -s --output out.txt -d 'published=true' https://api.dailymotion.com/video/"$video_id"/access_token="$acc_token"

There's a typo in your script on the last two lines:

https://api.dailymotion.com/video/"$video_id"/access_token="$acc_token"

Instead of:

https://api.dailymotion.com/video/"$video_id"/?access_token="$acc_token"

It's right there, in your out.txt: 

{
    "error":{
        "code":501,
        "message":"Invalid method name: POST \/video\/<xid>\/access_token=<redated>.",
        "type":"invalid_method"
    }
}
