How to merge multiple YouTube videos into one

Is it possible to join/merge (one after the other) multiple YT videos I have already uploaded into one (using their API preferable)?

Due to limited resources of the available computer, doing video encoding (using ffmpeg etc.) to do the merge before upload isn't possible. If it matters, I care only for video tracks, so ignore audio.

I'm afraid this isn't possible with Google's official APIs. See their documentation here: https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/youtube/v3/

the youtube.videos.update endpoint is only able to edit the metadata, which unfortunately doesn't include merging videos.

There might be an alternative, simulating a real user accessing the website. I'll look at it when I get home from work.
