insert video into a playlist with youtube api v3

Question

Hey so I am fairly familiar to the youtube api .. I know how to read channels and playlist along with getting any relevant video information I identify as Important I'm using php to do all of this but in order to make sure I have the correct idea of how each request/response works I attempted it in the browser with the API explorer

Now I am trying to insert videos into a playlist I just created (also through the API) but I am having some trouble figuring out exactly how my request is not properly formed

Here's The request

POST https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=snippet&key={YOUR_API_KEY}

Content-Type:  application/json
Authorization:  Bearer ya29.1.AADtN_WT2TRZzH1t86nVlX26z9WPp-gnDTxVHGvdQ6xx0vyTzmkYeXkLdJerwllLzF_a
X-JavaScript-User-Agent:  Google APIs Explorer

{
  "snippet": {
    "playlistId": "PL8hD12HFC-nuswc21_e64aPAy9B25sEH7",
    "resourceId": {
      "videoId": "KMGuyGY5gvY"
    }
  }
}

here is the response

400 Bad Request

- Show headers -

{
 "error": {
  "errors": [
   {
     "domain": "youtube.playlistItem",
     "reason": "invalidResourceType",
     "message": "Resource type not supported."
   }
  ],
   "code": 400,
   "message": "Resource type not supported."
 }
}

the playlist is an empty publicly viewable playlist I created using the API Explorer and is viewable through standard youtube website. The video is randomly selected off of youtube ... tried a few as thought it might be a specific problem with a video but no luck .. I have switched on OAuth and am using an account that is a verified youtube partner

However I can seemed to figure out why the resource type is not supported I've looked around the web along with answers to the left without finding exactly what I am doing wrong.. any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated as I am kind of stuck at the moment
