Update title and description using YouTube v3 API?

Question

I successfully uploaded a video to YouTube using YouTube Data API v3. No third party libraries were used. Now I want to update the title and description of an uploaded video

Answer 1

Not sure why, but if I include the entire json response from the actual upload, it works. That is, to update the description I do the following:

1. Upload video.
2. Wait for response.
3. Parse json response and replace description text.
4. Update video with new json.

Hence, updating using a stripped down json does not seem to work.
