The tutorial link for uploading the video does not exist

[monkeyWie]

I found a tutorial link to upload the video in the documentation, but the link has expired. The link: http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=39454

So how do I upload a YouTube video using adwords API?

Hey, thanks for reporting that the link is out of date. We'll update this shortly.

For the time being, you can use Media Service to create a Media object from the Youtube video ID (as seen in the Youtube URL). Create a Video object and fill the youtubevideoidstring with the ID of the Youtube video you wish to use.

Please note that we do not support TrueView campaign creation via the AdWords API. However you can use uploaded Videos and Images in placements on the Google Display Network.

Thanks for your replay, I have tried running the following code,but no success:

MediaServiceInterface mediaService = adWordsServices.get(session, MediaServiceInterface.class);
Video video = new Video();
video.setYouTubeVideoIdString("PFOtvHtyW8s");
Media[] result = mediaService.upload(new Media[]{video});

The excpetion:

ApiException{applicationExceptionType=ApiException, errors=[MediaError{apiErrorType=MediaError, errorString=MediaError.UNSUPPORTED_TYPE, fieldPath=media[0], fieldPathElements=[FieldPathElement{field=media, index=0}], reason=UNSUPPORTED_TYPE, trigger=}]}

Sorry correction here, for video media you have to create the Video via the Google Ads UI or Scripts (link to reference docs).
