How to sign in and upload video using the lbry-sdk

Developers
#1

I am running the lbry-sdk and would like to use it to batch upload video files. I have made an account and a channel using the LBRY website. I know I need to use the publish method, but I am unsure where to get the channel_account, account_id, wallet_id, funding_account arguments. Which of these arguments do I need and where do I get these values?

Thank you.

First you’d want to run the LBRY Desktop app at lbry.com/get and sign into your account - that will pull in your wallet. You don’t need to add any account/wallet/funding , just the channel_id of your channel when you want to publish under a channel. You can find that by doing a lbrynet channel list

Thank you for your help, I think I understand, but I’m not sure which of the output values from lbrynet channel list is the channel_id. Could you let me know which of the values from the API documentation here I should be using?

Thanks again!

It would be the claim_id:
