upload video to youtube without signing-in in the browser

Question

i built java application on desktop that allows sharing video to youtube to specific google acount. I used the suggested code from example for uploading a video from: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/java#upload_a_video

with the json token of the user. But when i'm trying to upload it opens a web page of google and askes me to log-in and approve uploading videos with my user.

Is there a way to skip this level and do it from the java code? I don't want to make the user log-in in a web page to his google acount and only use the GUI i made with java.

This is a limitation when using the Google API, Google wants to ensure user safety by performing auth related things on their side. Used to be you could do things differently but as far as I know you have to do it on their side now. — Ceiling Gecko

You can copy class

AuthorizationCodeInstalledApp

and override the method

browse(String url)

You need to realize, go to a url programmatically, like this(I use htmlunit):

public void browse(String url) throws IOException {
    WebClient webClient =  initWebClient();        
    HtmlPage htmlPage = webClient.getPage(url);

    //first you need login with your email and password 
    final HtmlTextInput login = (HtmlTextInput) htmlPage.getByXPath("//input[@type='email']").get(0);
    final HtmlPasswordInput pass = (HtmlPasswordInput) htmlPage.getByXPath("//input[@type='password']").get(0);
    HtmlSubmitInput button = (HtmlSubmitInput) htmlPage.getByXPath("//input[@type='submit']").get(0);
    //set input login and passwd
    login.setText(this.login);
    pass.setText(this.passwd);
    //press submit button
    button.click();

    //next need select account
    htmlPage = webClient.getPage(url);
    DomNodeList<HtmlElement> list = htmlPage.getElementById("account-list").getElementsByTagName("li");
    String account = list.get(0).getElementsByTagName("a").get(0).getAttribute("href");
    System.out.println(account);
    htmlPage = webClient.getPage(account);

    //and click submit button for approve 
    System.out.println("Wait 10sec.");
    webClient.waitForBackgroundJavaScript(10000);
    HtmlButton submitInput = (HtmlButton) htmlPage.getElementById("submit_approve_access");
    submitInput.click();
}

that's fine works for me.
