Can you use Ruby on Rails to work with the Youtube Data API?
-
Specifically, I want to be able to allow users to my site to create/upload private videos onto Youtube. Can you even do this through Youtube Data API--i.e. uploading videos & setting privacy settings for those videos? Is it possible to do so using Ruby on Rails?

Answer:
The YouTube API does support create, update and delete of content for authorized users. I.e. a user authorizes using OAuth first. You might be able to use the Ruby gem OmniAuth https://github.com/intridea/omniauth for authorizing and then the YouTube-G gem for manipulating content https://github.com/tmm1/youtube-g as there's no inherent support in Ruby on Rails for this.

Use https://github.com/kylejginavan/youtube_it gem. It is by far the best out there, though I myself haven't been able to do it successfully due to my own shortcomings. I am sure you can if you have been using rails for sometime.
