The aim is to create a Watch Later button using the YouTube API. When a user clicks the button, the video is saved into the user\'s Watch Later playlist. Simila

    I don't know if this will help you much since I never worked with Youtube's API. But have a look at this answer on how to get the Watch Later playlist using Youtube's API v3.

    Then you can take a look this, from Youtube docs, for inserting an element into a given playlist.

    ANYWAY I'm not sure this is possible anymore (you can give it a try) since September 15, 2016 revision:

    Referring to point 2.2 in the list:

    The channel resource's contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchHistory and contentDetails.relatedPlaylists.watchLater properties now contain values of HL and WL, respectively, for all channels.

    To be clear, these properties are only visible to an authorized user retrieving data about the user's own channel. The properties always contain the values HL and WL, even for an authorized user retrieving data about the user's own channel. Thus, the watch history and watch later playlist IDs cannot be retrieved via the API.

    In addition, requests to retrieve playlist details (playlists.list) or playlist items (playlistItems.list) for a channel's watch history or watch later playlist now return empty lists. This behavior is true for the new values, HL and WL, as well as for any watch history or watch later playlist IDs that your API Client may have already stored.

    Retrieving "Watch Later" playlist:

    As pointed out by others, YouTube no longer allow this

    Adding a video to that same list is rather straight forward though:

    curl --request POST \
      'https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&key=[YOUR_API_KEY]' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
      --header 'Accept: application/json' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --data '{"snippet":{"playlistId":"WL","position":0,"resourceId":{"kind":"youtube#video","videoId":"M7FIvfx5J10"}}}' \
      --compressed
    

    You can find Javascript code snippet and more here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlistItems/insert

    The Watch Later playlist is the playlist with id WL. You can add a video to this playlist the same way as the other Youtube playlists.

    You will first need to go to your Google developer console :

    • enable Youtube Data API for your project
    • generate an Oauth Client ID

    Then you can use the code below which will authenticate, retrieve an access token with https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube scope and then add a video to your watch later playlist.

    For the following Javascript & PHP samples, when a button is pressed, it logs-in the user if not already authenticated and add the video to the watch later playlist of the authenticated user.


    Javascript

    This is based on api-samples provided by Google here.

    Here is a live demo with the source code (as below)

    Here is a fiddle. Replace your client id and add as Authorized JavaScript origins in developer console : https://fiddle.jshell.net

    Replace OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID with your own client ID

    In the API response, I check the following status code :

    • 409 : the video already on playlist
    • 404 : the video isn't found

    Based on google-api php sample :

    Replace $OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID and $OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET with their respective value. Also, you have to set a redirect_uri in google console, here it will be http://localhost/watchlater.php

    In the PHP version, you can see that I store video id in $_SESSION["video"] to be able to add it immediately when google authentication redirect to watchlater.php


    Here is a screen of google console Oauth Client ID for this project (valid for the Javascript & PHP version above) :

    Note that :

    • for the Javascript version : you need CLIENT_ID and set Javascript Origin
    • for the PHP version : you need CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, set Javascript Origin and set Redirect URI

    Note for testing, I noticed that it can take some time to delete the video when doing it manually if you want to re-add it again
