Before you begin, an account on Google Cloud Platform is required to create a Project and enable these APIs for this project, in APIs & Services -> Enable APIs and services -> + ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES
After enabling the APIs, create an OAuth content screen with yourself as test user, then create an OAuth Client ID of type Web Application with http://localhost:8216 as the redirect URI.
Download this credential to your local machine with name client_secret.json, it should look like
{
"web": {
"client_id": "11181119.apps.googleusercontent.com",
"project_id": "yutu-11181119",
"auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
"token_uri": "https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
"auth_provider_x509_cert_url": "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
"client_secret": "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"redirect_uris": [
"http://localhost:8216"
]
}
}To verify this credential, run the following command
yutu auth --credential client_secret.jsonA browser window will open asking for your permission to access your YouTube account, after granting the permission, a token will be generated and saved to youtube.token.json.
{
"access_token": "ya29.XXXXXXXXX",
