Python YouTube API Tutorial: Using OAuth to Access User Accounts

In this Python Programming Tutorial, we'll be learning how to learning how to use OAuth2 for the YouTube API. This will allow us to access a user's YouTube account for specific reasons. In this video, I'll show how I use this to access my private and unlisted videos from within a Python script. Let's get started...

Hey everybody. I hope you find this video helpful. This will likely be the last video of the YouTube API series for a while. Everything we've covered so far should be a good starting point for a lot of cool and interesting projects. But if you have any suggestions then let me know. I'm likely going to get back to some one-off videos on some different topics I've been wanting to cover, and I'm also working on material for my next series. I plan to cover a series on Docker soon since a lot of people seem to have difficulty with that. It's a great tool for spinning up different Python projects and also for putting them onto a production server. If you have suggestions for that series then let me know as well.

Please, anybody tell me if Corey is all right? I'm really worried about him, he gave me a lot of help, legend Corey❤

If only other programming language have a channel like
Thanks for the video, Corey

Corey - I come from a strong RDBMS background(Oracle). I started to work on python been 2 years now. Had to unlearn quite a lot of things. I have come python a long way just by watching your videos and practicing them. I owe all my learning and ability to perform to you and your trainings conducted. I am now getting my hands dirty around data structures like linked list, queues and stacks. Stay safe and healthy.

You are the absolute legend, the best, none of the other YT API vids are as good as you, you rock man!!

[desrucca]

Thanks, this is a massive time saver.

I thought i gonna learn lots of those libraries just to figure out how to save token

[jacqueswilliam]

You did that....Mr Shafer...i subscribed to your channel a few years ago...and have been all over YouTube and i can honestly say you are one of the best.... in fact you are better than that ....you made me believe I could code....

Thank you for this video! I've spent the last 2 days just trying to get an oauth2 token so I can try using the YT API. First time trying to use the API let alone deal with oauth2. Not a single video or web source thus far (including chat gpt) broke down all the steps of the process. Usually it's portions of, but then I have no idea what I am missing. Found out tonight alone that I need to run a server and that can be done locally, but as with most things it can be done a ton of different ways. Your way is clear, concise and all in one script! Can't say thanks enough!

Hey, just wanna chime in. I'm a much more experienced Python user now but I owe a lot to your vids when I was just starting out. I'll go through some of your playlists that I couldn't before just for fun. Keep the views rolling. Your videos are superb. I hope a lot more beginners find your work soon!

[endotoxin]

Hey Corey, thanks for this great tutorial! Excellent step-by-step explanations make this easy to understand. This is probably the first tutorial video I've watched beginning-to-end!

[inteligenciamilgrau]

Most complete YouTube Api tutorial!! Thankss!

[bhaskarmahto]

Corey you are doing a wonderful job. You need more recognition man. Keep up the good work.

[RaviKumar-opgb]

Hi Corey, Thank you so much for finding time and posting video of this quality content. I have used your lessons, skills in work . It's been a while since you have posted any video . Is everything all right from your end.

[mrrogers]

Really enjoyed learning from you. This was the first time I was able to watch a coding video more than 20 minutes long and not loose focus during the 43 minutes of this video. The time went by so fast. You're an excellent teacher - good pace and great explanations. I liked and subscribed.

[soufyanr]

Hey Corey,

Huge fan of your work. I wonder, would you ever consider starting a Algorithms & Data Structures series? You would be a fantastic teacher I'm sure!

[halim_Ha]

You really deserve the diamond youtube button

[michalmaciejewski]

Definitely would love to see Django/Flask integration with OAuth! Thanks

[jonathanwarner]

Every time when I'm watching a tutorial from Corey, I can hear BOSS-music!

[mikedahman]

great tutorial - up and running quick. I had to authorize my user account as an application developer - after that I was golden.

[DarkAtom]

For people who are wondering where is he. He recently commented this on twitter on 30th Mar. 2022:

"Some Guy: I have taken notice of a lack of fresh tutorials lately, are you going to continue making programming videos?

Corey: Yes. I’m currently doing a lot of woodworking and renovating a new home, which is taking a lot of time, but I’ll be back once I’m not living in a construction zone"
