Answer 2

You are using the right method, for parameters:

part: snippet (or whatever part of the playlistItem resource you want in return)

snippet.playlistId: id of the playlist to add. you can find it through playlists.list() method if you don't know it, with setting "mine=true"

snippet.resourceId: video id of the video. you can find it through videos.list() method if you don't know it, with setting "mine=true"

Answer 3

code is:

    import httplib2
    import os
    import sys

    from apiclient.discovery import build
    from apiclient.errors import HttpError
    from oauth2client.client import flow_from_clientsecrets
    from oauth2client.file import Storage
    from oauth2client.tools import argparser, run


    # The CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE variable specifies the name of a file that contains
    # the OAuth 2.0 information for this application, including its client_id and
    # client_secret. You can acquire an OAuth 2.0 client ID and client secret from
    # the Google Cloud Console at
    # https://cloud.google.com/console.
    # Please ensure that you have enabled the YouTube Data API for your project.
    # For more information about using OAuth2 to access the YouTube Data API, see:
    #   https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/authentication
    # For more information about the client_secrets.json file format, see:
    #   https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/guide/aaa_client_secrets

    CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE = "client_secrets.json"

    # This variable defines a message to display if the CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE is
    # missing.
    MISSING_CLIENT_SECRETS_MESSAGE = """
    WARNING: Please configure OAuth 2.0

    To make this sample run you will need to populate the client_secrets.json file
    found at:

    %s

    with information from the Cloud Console
    https://cloud.google.com/console

        return build(YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME, YOUTUBE_API_VERSION,

    def add_video_to_playlist(youtube,videoID,playlistID):

            #'position': 0
