{
"key": "API_KEY",
"client_id": "CLIENT_ID",
"client_secret": "CLIENT_SECRET"
}- Prerequisite: you must create a Google Platform project. Following the below steps should prompt you to create one if you do not already have one.
- Enable the YouTube Data v3 API on your project: navigate here and click "Enable" (if you see a blue "Manage" button, it's already enabled).
- Replace
API_KEYwith your YouTube API key. Create a new key here by clicking on "Create Credentials" > "API Key". - Optionally, in order to log in, replace
CLIENT_IDandCLIENT_SECRETwith your native client ID and client secret values, by creating a new OAuth 2.0 Client ID here: click "Create Credentials" > "OAuth client ID", then select "TV and Limited Input devices" (tutorial -- may be outdated).
The project must have the following scope enabled: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube
Also, in order to log in, grant access to the project in: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials/consent
pipe-viewer is a fork of straw-viewer, which parses the YouTube website directly, and thus it does not require an YouTube API key.
