Youtube sample

Using the YouTube sample bundle

The YouTube bundle in samples/youtube-playlist demonstrates the ability of getting information of a playlist. Here is a guide to how to get it working.

Prerequisites

You will need a working nodecg-io installation. If you have non yet take a look at installation guide. You may need to install this bundle, so take a look at the “Try an included sample”-Guide. It will also tell you how to log in and how to use the GUI.

You also need:

Google cloud API OAuth access (client ID, client Secret)
Grant YouTube Data API v3 access at the project's dashboard.
- Shortcut URL: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/youtube.googleapis.com?project=<project-id>.

Note

If you don't have such a key yet, you can generate them like this. As redirect URI add:

http://localhost:9090/nodecg-io-googleapis/oauth2callback

Configure the YouTube sample bundle

In NodeCG, create a new googleapis service instance.
Enter your YouTube OAuth credentials:
```
{
    "clientID": "<clientID>",
    "clientSecret": "<clientSecret>",
    "scopes": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube"]
}
```
After entering it, click save.

Note

You can add multiple scopes if the googleapis instance is used for multiple bundles.
Set the sample's (youtube-playlist) dependency to be the newly created service instance (of type googleapis).
Check the NodeCG logs:

You should see an error or a success message that is hardcoded in samples/youtube-playlist/extension/index.ts.
