I've been trying to figure this out for hours now. Consulting the official documentation It says I need to make a post request to https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/videos with a content type header set to video/* or application/octet-stream (I've used the latter). Turns out if I just post a buffer of a video file to that url it'll work. But the documentation also says I can specify a whole bunch of options about the video (title, description, tags, etc.) However, it says to attach that information to the request body! I'm confused on how I'm supposed to send both the video bytes and the options in the same request. Maybe it's not supposed to be the same request, but they don't mention anything about using multiple.
Uploading videos using Youtube API is done using a protocol that Google calls "Resumable Uploads Protocol". Google uses this protocol across their APIs (i.e. Drive, Youtube etc.) and is recommended in the following scenarios
Uploading large file
Unreliable network connection.
The full details of how to use "Resumable Uploads Protocol" with the Youtube API can be found at https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/using_resumable_upload_protocol.
The following is a simplified set of steps:
Create a resumable upload session by sending a POST request to the insert API endpoint.
Read the resumable session URI from the Location header of the above request.
Upload the video by sending a PUT request with binary video data as body to the resumable session URI.

I want to be able to get the source video link for each video from tiktok.com. I found that you can see each request in chromes network panel and the link to the source video (request URL). How would be able to make a program that intercepts these requests and adds the request url to a list of some sort? Thanks.
chrome network panel
I suggest you read more about web-scraping
To receive video links, you can send the desired request, then separate the specific part you want with regex or ..
for example, video link ...
If there is a feature for this topic, you can read in the official source:
https://developers.tiktok.com/
It is possible that a library or framework has already been written for this
tiktok api
You can read the following link and use the available repositories:

I am developing a web scraper and I need to download a .pdf file from a page. I can get the file name from the html tag, but can't find the complete url (or request body) that downloads the file.
I have tried to sniff the traffic with the chrome and firefox network traffic tool and with wireshark, with no success. I can see it make a post request to the exact same url as the page itself, and so I can't understand why this happens. My guess is that the filename is being sent inside the POST request body, but I also can't find that information in those tools. If I could see the variable name in the body, I could create a copy of the request and then get the file.
How can I get that information?
Here is the website I am talking about: http://www2.trt8.jus.br/consultaprocesso/formulario/ProcessoConjulgado.aspx?sDsTelaOrigem=ListarProcessos.aspx&iNrInstancia=1&sFlTipo=T&iNrProcessoVaraUnica=126&iNrProcessoUnica=1267&iNrProcessoAnoUnica=2010&iNrRegiaoUnica=8&iNrJusticaUnica=5&iNrDigitoUnica=24&iNrProcesso=1267&iNrProcessoAno=2010&iNrProcesso2a=0&iNrProcessoAno2a=0
EDIT: for those seeking to do something similar, take a look at this website: http://curl.trillworks.com/
It converts a cURL to a python requests code. Very useful
The POST data used for the request is encoded content generated by ASP.NET. It contains various state/session information of the page that the link is on. This makes it difficult to directly scrape for the URL.
You can examine the HAR by exporting it from the Network tab in Chrome DevTools:
The __EVENTVALIDATION data is used to ensure events raised on the client originate from the controls rendered on the page from the server.
You might be able to achieve what you want by requesting the page the link is on first, then extract the required POST data from the response (containing the page state and embedded request for file), and then make a new request with this information. This assumes the server doesn't expire any sessions in the meantime.
I want to send a bunch of XML files from my client (iPad) to my application server(Web)..Is there any way I can pass them to server using HTTP POST? I assume HTTP POST only allows embedding strings not attaching as files..We don't want to use FTP due to securuty reasons. We even thought of web service, but not sure whether attachments are possible..Pleas advise if you know any ways of transferring files from client to server.
The maximum length of a POST variable is massive - so no worries there, you can send XML fine. POST can send any type of data, just make sure you set the Content-Type header correctly or you may get unexpected results.
It is no less / more secure than FTP however.
Just trying to understand why they didn't use a REST API.
In REST, clients initiate requests to servers for resources; servers process those requests and return appropriate responses.
The utm.gif is not involved in server-to-client data transfer, but instead it's involved in moving data in the other direction.
Of course REST has HTTP methods for the client to communicate with servers (GET and POST) and indeed, Google Analytics directs the client's browser to send all analytics data to the GA servers via a GET Request. More precisely, a GET Request is comprised of a Request URL and Request Headers (e.g., Referer and User-Agent Headers).
All GA data--every single item--is assembled and packed into the Request URL's query string (everything after the '?'). But in order for that data to go from the client (where it is created) to the GA server (where it is logged and aggregated) there must be an HTTP Request, so the ga.js (google analytics script that's downloaded, unless it's cached, by the client, as a result of a function called when the page loads) directs the client to assemble all of the analytics data--e.g., cookies, location bar, request headers, etc.--concatenate it into a single string and append it as a query string to a URL (http://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?) and that becomes the Request URL.
Of course there can't be an HTTP Request without a resource; so resource is the client requesting from the server? It doesn't need anything from the server, instead it wants to send information to the server. So the actual server resource requested by the client is purely pretextual--the resource isn't even needed by the client, it's solely requested to comply with the transmission protocol operator. Therefore, it makes sense to make that resource as small and as unobtrusive as possible, which is why it's a 1 x 1 transparent pixel in gif format. It is the smallest possible size and the least dense image format (bytes/pixel); I think it's a little over 30 bytes. A 1 x 1 image in the other common formats (e.g., jpeg, png, tiff) are larger.
This general scheme for transferring data between a client and a server has been around forever; there could very well be a better way of doing this, but it's the only way I know of (that satisfies the constraints imposed by a hosted analytics service).
(Google Analytics does indeed have two APIs--"Data Export" and "Management"--which are both RESTful Web Services.)
You can use __utm.gif in browsers that don't support javascript using the <noscript> tag (with some work on the server), as well as in email messages (with some work before sending the email).
How are you gonna make a REST request in an email message?
Because it's an image you can stick it anywhere you can use and image tag even if you can't execute JS. Many years back this Google pushed this for tracking of email campaigns. You could stick this formatted string in an html email message and then any client that displays the message will send that request to the GA servers and you will get at a minimum IP info (which get's you geo location also) depending on client you may also get OS, language and all the other browser settings. You don't get all the fancy analytics you get from the modern JS tracking scripts but if still has it's uses.
Here is a site that will help you format the request string and also has some more details.

HI am new to AMFPHP. am creating flex audio player.
Whenever am playing the song in my player. the song url will be displayed by the use of FIREBUG addons..
How can i encrypt and decrypt that url using AMFPHP or PHP.
Some flash audio players done this job using AMFPH..

You can't. Firebug's Net tab sees all HTTP[S] net traffic. If you want to stream a song to the browser without an HTTP URL being visible in Firebug, you would have to use a different protocol to HTTP — typically RTMP.
The way some sites protect HTTP streams is to use a one-time URL, so that the player generates an authentication token (typically using crypto hashing) and that can only be used to download the stream once; it is served with Cache-Control: no-cache header to stop the browser storing it on disc and making it available to the user for download from the Net tab. Defeating caching of course does mean that you'll serving a lot more data unnecessarily. And it's still pretty easy to circumvent.
Don't imagine you can solve the Copy Protection Problem. Even “protected” RTMPE is very much downloadable.
