close()
Close httplib2 connections.
delete(id, onBehalfOfContentOwner=None, onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel=None, x__xgafv=None)
Deletes an existing stream for the authenticated user.

Args:
  id: string, A parameter (required)
  onBehalfOfContentOwner: string, *Note:* This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The *onBehalfOfContentOwner* parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner.
  onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel: string, This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. *Note:* This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The *onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel* parameter specifies the YouTube channel ID of the channel to which a video is being added. This parameter is required when a request specifies a value for the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, and it can only be used in conjunction with that parameter. In addition, the request must be authorized using a CMS account that is linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies. Finally, the channel that the onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter value specifies must be linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and perform actions on behalf of the channel specified in the parameter value, without having to provide authentication credentials for each separate channel.
  x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
    Allowed values
      1 - v1 error format
      2 - v2 error format
insert(part, body=None, onBehalfOfContentOwner=None, onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel=None, x__xgafv=None)
Inserts a new stream for the authenticated user.

Args:
  part: string, The *part* parameter serves two purposes in this operation. It identifies the properties that the write operation will set as well as the properties that the API response will include. The part properties that you can include in the parameter value are id, snippet, cdn, content_details, and status. (required) (repeated)
  body: object, The request body.
    The object takes the form of:

{ # A live stream describes a live ingestion point.
  "cdn": { # Brief description of the live stream cdn settings. # The cdn object defines the live stream's content delivery network (CDN) settings. These settings provide details about the manner in which you stream your content to YouTube.

    "frameRate": "A String", # The frame rate of the inbound video data.

Non-reusable streams differ from reusable streams in the following ways: - A non-reusable stream can only be bound to one broadcast. - A non-reusable stream might be deleted by an automated process after the broadcast ends. - The liveStreams.list method does not list non-reusable streams if you call the method and set the mine parameter to true. The only way to use that method to retrieve the resource for a non-reusable stream is to use the id parameter to identify the stream.

  onBehalfOfContentOwner: string, *Note:* This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The *onBehalfOfContentOwner* parameter indicates that the request's authorization credentials identify a YouTube CMS user who is acting on behalf of the content owner specified in the parameter value. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and get access to all their video and channel data, without having to provide authentication credentials for each individual channel. The CMS account that the user authenticates with must be linked to the specified YouTube content owner.
  onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel: string, This parameter can only be used in a properly authorized request. *Note:* This parameter is intended exclusively for YouTube content partners. The *onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel* parameter specifies the YouTube channel ID of the channel to which a video is being added. This parameter is required when a request specifies a value for the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter, and it can only be used in conjunction with that parameter. In addition, the request must be authorized using a CMS account that is linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies. Finally, the channel that the onBehalfOfContentOwnerChannel parameter value specifies must be linked to the content owner that the onBehalfOfContentOwner parameter specifies. This parameter is intended for YouTube content partners that own and manage many different YouTube channels. It allows content owners to authenticate once and perform actions on behalf of the channel specified in the parameter value, without having to provide authentication credentials for each separate channel.

Returns:
  An object of the form:

    { # A live stream describes a live ingestion point.
  "cdn": { # Brief description of the live stream cdn settings. # The cdn object defines the live stream's content delivery network (CDN) settings. These settings provide details about the manner in which you stream your content to YouTube.
    "format": "A String", # The format of the video stream that you are sending to Youtube.
    "frameRate": "A String", # The frame rate of the inbound video data.
    "ingestionInfo": { # Describes information necessary for ingesting an RTMP, HTTP, or SRT stream. # The ingestionInfo object contains information that YouTube provides that you need to transmit your RTMP or HTTP stream to YouTube.
      "backupIngestionAddress": "A String", # The backup ingestion URL that you should use to stream video to YouTube. You have the option of simultaneously streaming the content that you are sending to the ingestionAddress to this URL.
      "ingestionAddress": "A String", # The primary ingestion URL that you should use to stream video to YouTube. You must stream video to this URL. Depending on which application or tool you use to encode your video stream, you may need to enter the stream URL and stream name separately or you may need to concatenate them in the following format: *STREAM_URL/STREAM_NAME*
      "rtmpsBackupIngestionAddress": "A String", # This ingestion url may be used instead of backupIngestionAddress in order to stream via RTMPS. Not applicable to non-RTMP streams.
      "rtmpsIngestionAddress": "A String", # This ingestion url may be used instead of ingestionAddress in order to stream via RTMPS. Not applicable to non-RTMP streams.
      "streamName": "A String", # The stream name that YouTube assigns to the video stream.
    },
    "ingestionType": "A String", #  The method or protocol used to transmit the video stream.
    "resolution": "A String", # The resolution of the inbound video data.
  },
  "contentDetails": { # Detailed settings of a stream. # The content_details object contains information about the stream, including the closed captions ingestion URL.
    "closedCaptionsIngestionUrl": "A String", # The ingestion URL where the closed captions of this stream are sent.
    "isReusable": True or False, # Indicates whether the stream is reusable, which means that it can be bound to multiple broadcasts. It is common for broadcasters to reuse the same stream for many different broadcasts if those broadcasts occur at different times. If you set this value to false, then the stream will not be reusable, which means that it can only be bound to one broadcast. Non-reusable streams differ from reusable streams in the following ways: - A non-reusable stream can only be bound to one broadcast. - A non-reusable stream might be deleted by an automated process after the broadcast ends. - The liveStreams.list method does not list non-reusable streams if you call the method and set the mine parameter to true. The only way to use that method to retrieve the resource for a non-reusable stream is to use the id parameter to identify the stream.
