Method: references.update

  • This endpoint updates an existing YouTube reference using a PUT HTTP request to a specific URL with the reference ID included as a path parameter.

  • The request requires the referenceId path parameter to specify the YouTube reference to be updated, along with optional query parameters like onBehalfOfContentOwner and releaseClaims.

  • The request body should contain an instance of the Reference resource, and a successful response will also contain an instance of the same Reference resource.

  • Updating a reference requires authorization with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner OAuth scope.

  • The releaseClaims query parameter allows for releasing all match claims associated with a reference, but only if the claim's status is being set to inactive.
