I want to allow users to store some videos on YouTube using my website. These videos are personal videos for the person storing them. The videos would presumably be transferred from my site to the YouTube site using the APIs. I would imagine all the videos would be stored in a single account (that I make as the site operator). It is important to note that the videos correspond to the individuals that save them - i.e. all users can't see all videos. The security access is done by my server and should not be accessible by anyone on the Internet.
A user must go through my website, enter his password, etc. (that I validate) and then I provide him access to his videos and once he is successfully authenticated, he can see his videos - that he views on my website.
Is this possible using YouTube or Vimeo APIs?
YouTube Direct API seems to be something similar to Your needs. Have a look at it.
Edit: Link, thanks #Simon.

I want to post a message on google plus business page. Is there any way to do this.
I am confused between interactive post, app activities and moment.
Should I use Moment to post on business page?
I go through google api site documents, but not getting any solutions.
Please let me know if there is any other way to post in google plus page.
It depends on exactly what you mean by "post" and by a "business page".
I'm assuming that the "business page" is one that is not associated with a Google App account. If you're meaning something that will show up on your stream, and that people who have you in a circle will see your post - there is no public API from Google that will do what you want. You need to work with one of their partners, such as HootSuite, to automatically share messages to your stream.
Interactive posts are ways that a visitor to your website can be prompted to share something from your site to their stream on Google+. These interactive posts include both a link to your site as well as an additional "call to action" button to an individual item from your site. It does not automate posts, although it can make some parts of it easier.
App activities and moments are the same thing. They are meant to record actions that take place on your website on Google+, but they do not directly share anything into your stream. Instead, they create an event in your Google+ profile that can be seen only by those you permit it to - you can then, if you wish, share that event to your stream. So while the moment can be generated automatically, it still requires manual action to share it.
Finally, if you have a page that is associated with a Google App account, you can create posts automatically, but those posts are limited in scope. They are only visible to, at most, other people in the same App Domain as the account. This is useful for using Google+ as a communication tool inside an organization, but not useful for communicating with customers, for example.
Is it possible to dynamically share posts or links to google plus page using rss feed?
I can automatically share links to my Twitter page or my Facebook page using any Rss Feed, but I can't find any similar application or tool to send my site posts to my google + page automatically
I hope someone can help me find a tool or give me a hint to develop an application can do that task
Some of the third-party tools might enable you to do this for your Google+ Page (not for an individual), such as HootSuite as this Video seems to suggest. However, you should be careful to follow the Google+ user content and conduct policy and to make quality posts to avoid having your content becoming classified as spam.
There is no API that is available to the public that will allow your own app to publish content for a profile.
I need get tags for filtering videos from a specific channel.
Its implemented in a audiovisual studio web as portfolio.
Obviously I want that this process be transparent for users.
Looks impossible achieve what I need without a OAuth authentication process...I already have tried it in some ways, failing whole times.
Thanks
Im making a website with user-generated content (pictures/videos) and I want to host videos that users upload to youtube on my channel, is there any way I can do this via youtube api?
What are the best practices for such thing?
Thanks!
The best practice is not to allow uploads directly to your channel, but rather to upload them to an intermediary server where you have a tool that allows you to check the content for abuse before it programmatically uploads the video. This prevents abuse and keeps you using reasonable quota caps.
Another good idea is to allow users to upload to their own channels and, via your app, to use the playlist API to automatically add their videos to your playlist.
In my iOS application, I have a single google picasa account for which all of the application's users can upload their personal photos to. Now, I can get to the photo album to appear so that the users can view the photos that are already there:
[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL
URLWithString:#"myPicasaAlbumURL"]]];
However, I cannot figure out how to allow the users to upload their own photos. Also, how could I automatically log them in with the google picasa account that they will be uploading their photos to? I have seen the picasa developers documentation but I cannot make much sense out of it, and I am desperate for help at this point. Any ideas?
Both Picasa and Flickr do not give you the direct ability to do what you are wishing. If they give you that then people would abuse it to use the services as a cheap image hosting which is what you it appears you want(I once tried the same). Flickr has the ability to email the photo to them with a unique email address and they will automatically post it but that would require you posting the photo to your server and using php or another language to send it off and its a very tacky solution. You might want to consider hosting the images yourself and doing some simple server side code. It would be more flexible in the end.
