YouTube API
YouTube allows billions of people to discover, watch and share originally-created videos. YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform, and inspire others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for original content creators and advertisers large and small.

Use the YouTube Connector
Add the youtube connector on your Zenaton dashboard,
enter the credentials and authorize Zenaton to call the youtube API from your workflows.
Then add code snippet and URL path to your workflow.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton")
module.exports = workflow("MyWorkflow", function* () {
const youtube = this.connector(
'youtube',
'connector-id')
const response = yield youtube.get('path_to_API')
const params = {body: {param1: '...'}}
yield youtube.post('path_to_API', params)
})The Zenaton Engine
We handle the complexity of orchestrating YouTube API calls and related logic in your code.
Out of the Box API Call
Add the connector to your Zenaton workflow and we manage the authentication, oauth1 and oauth2 flow including token refreshing.
Automatic Retries & Alerting
If your YouTube API call fails, it can automatically be retried and you will receive an alert with error details.
Monitoring and Troubleshooting
View the Zenaton dashboard for execution history, scheduled tasks, errors and logs or retry failed YouTube API calls.
Integrate YouTube into your application logic
The Zenaton connector is a pre-configured task for calling the YouTube API inside your workflow with one line of code. Build custom integration logic by adding a workflow directly into your application using the functions in the Zenaton SDK.
// The Zenaton engine orchestrates youtube API calls and related logic via the Zenaton agent. Every step is executed at the right moment on your servers and monitored on Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// youtube authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("ParallelWorkflow", function* () {
const youtube = this.connector(
'youtube',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// execute parallel tasks handled automatically by the Zenaton engine
const [a, b] = yield this.run.task(["TaskA"],["TaskB"]);
if (a > b) {
const response = yield youtube.get('path_to_API');
} else {
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
}
});
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// youtube authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("AsynchronousWorkflow", function* () {
const youtube = this.connector(
'youtube',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
this.run.task('TaskA');
this.youtube.post('path_to_API');
yield run.task('TaskB');
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
});
// Tasks can be automatically (or manually) retried and executions are displayed in real-time on the Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
// youtube authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("WaitWorkflow", function* () {
const youtube = this.connector(
'youtube',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
// The 'wait function is managed by the Zenaton engine and will be executed on your worker at the right time.
yield this.wait.for(duration.days(7));
yield youtube.get('path_to_API');
});
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
module.exports = workflow("WaitEventWorkflow", function*() {
const youtube = this.connector(
'youtube',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// Wait for up to 24 hours for the event using the Zenaton Wait Function.
const event = yield this.wait.event("MyEvent").for(duration.hours(24));
if (event) {
// If event has been triggered within 24 hours
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
} else {
// else calls youtube API
yield youtube.get('path_to_API');
}
}
});
