Getting a youtube api key

1. First, you need to go to this website.
2. If prompted, select a project, or create a new one.
3. Use the Library page to find and enable the YouTube Data API v3.
4. Go to the credentials page.
5. Click Create Credentials > OAuth client ID.
6. Select the Web application app type.
7. Fill in the form and click create. For testing redirect URIs that refer to the local machine with http://localhost:8080.
8. Download the client_secret.json file from the API Console and securely store the file in a location that only your application can access. By default, the application gets this file from the directory your script is being ran in. The path can also be changed when the class YouTubeUploader is being initialized.
9. Get your client_id and client_secret.

We recommend that you design your app's auth endpoints so that your application does not expose authorization codes to other resources on the page.

The key must have the scope 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload'.
