Hygoshop for YouTube
Some merchants want a long-form video anchor on YouTube — Shorts that link to a full product walkthrough, Unboxing, How-It-Works. Hygoshop publishes from your dashboard directly to your YouTube channel using the YouTube Data API.
What we use YouTube's API for
- YouTube Data API v3 — upload videos, manage playlists, fetch channel metadata.
- Per-merchant quota — Hygoshop respects YouTube's per-OAuth-client quota; we don't fan out across merchants on a shared quota pool.
How merchants control it
- Standard Google OAuth consent screen on connect.
- Revocable any time from
myaccount.google.com/permissions. - Privacy default: every video uploaded is set to Unlisted until the merchant clicks publish in our dashboard.
Data we store
- OAuth tokens (encrypted, scoped per merchant + channel).
- Channel id + handle (so we can show "Connected as @channelname").
- Video metadata for our published videos: id, title, status, view count snapshot.
