The YouTube Export API publishes a completed Vozo video task to a connected YouTube channel. You can publish videos from Translate & Dub, Visual Translate, or Lip Sync. The API returns a new export task ID; poll the export task until it is done or failed.

Before you start

  • Connect and authorize your YouTube channel in Vozo. If the connection has expired, reauthorize it before creating an export.
  • You need access to the Vozo API, YouTube export enabled for your account, and a Studio plan or higher.
  • The source Vozo task must belong to the same user and be complete. Its video file must still be available.
  • YouTube publishing is subject to both your account’s 24-hour export quota and a system quota.
  • Use an API key in the Authorization: Bearer <api_key> header.

Workflow

1

Get video categories

Call List categories to obtain a category_id valid for your connected channel’s region. Only assignable categories are returned.
2

Create an export

Call Create export task with the completed source task, title, category, and privacy setting. Keep the returned task_id: it identifies the YouTube export, not the original Vozo task.
3

Poll the export task

Call Get export task with the export task ID. Once status is done, use studio_url to open the video in YouTube Studio. If it is failed, check error_code.

Source tasks and modes

For Translate & Dub and Visual Translate, source_mode is required when the source task has an editable project. For a non-editable source task, omitting it selects initial_output. generate_new and use_existing require the associated editable project; use_existing also requires an existing exported video. initial_output requires a video output from the source task.

Export status

These endpoints do not create or authorize a YouTube connection. Complete that setup in Vozo before using the export API.

Common API errors

For other failures, inspect the response’s code, message, and optional errors fields. A publishing task may also reach failed after it was created; query its error_code for that outcome.
