How to set YouTube video monetization programticly

I am able to upload videos to YouTube using the API, however I have been unable to find out how to enable monetize for my video using API.

Videos.insert does not appear to have any way of setting this. Nor can I find any more information on how to set it in the documentation.

any help will be appreciated.

To enable monetization you need to use the Google Content Owner API, which is available to those with a Content Owner account. YouTube Partner Program overview

Once you have your content owner id you should be able to do something like this

POST https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/partner/v1/claims?onBehalfOfContentOwner=CONTENT_OWNER_ID
Authorization: Bearer ...

{
  "assetId": "ASSET_ID",
  "videoId": "VIDEO_ID",
  "policy": {
    "id": "POLICY_ID"
  },
  "contentType": "audiovisual"
}
