I think it's most likely done with the API. From what I remember from looking at it a while ago you can create the entry before, then it'll give you the right endpoint where you post your actual file to later on in the process. You just have to do that quickly enough so the endpoint doesn't expire.
- iforgotpassword 7y agoIt's apparently even been done before, see here at around the three minute mark: https://youtube.com/watch?v=UMYTSJTU0Vk https://youtube.com/watch?v=UMYTSJTU0Vk

- rebane2001 7y agoOh hi, creator of the video here! It's just a fun video of me messing around with Windows 8.1 I made a while back, trying out different "apps" and stuff. I thought it'd be a fun easter egg to download the video itself when I was trying out that strange YouTube MP3 downloader app :D I didn't do it with the API (even though I tried to at first), just the normal youtube.com/upload site. I used Fiddler (Burpsuite alternative) to achieve this I am not the first person to do this however, Insane Doll Gallery has made a video demonstrating this [youtu.be/ufq2Eb78kSU] (apparently used the API) and the channel NightFalls Studios has also used this trick in their My Little Pony comic animations [youtu.be/FDLvR9xrCag and youtu.be/7oXsOmqs6R4]
- hanniabu 7y agoI always see creators popping up when something they made is mentioned. I find it too coincidental that you just happened to be on HN and happened to find the comment mentioning it. Do you use a service that scrapes sites and pings you of keyword mentions?
- leppr 7y agoWebsites can use the "referer" [1] property to show you where visitors are coming from. [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referer https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Re...
- rebane2001 7y agoThis is true, but for YouTube, the "referer" stats won't appear for a couple of days
- rebane2001 7y agoI do use a keyword notifier on Reddit (mostly just for my name), but in this case, I just coincidentally noticed the spike of views on my video and put the video url into Google, which led me here
