01-youtube.md

• Goto https://console.cloud.google.com and create a new project
• Goto project and create an API service
• Choose Youtube API Data v3 from the inventory marketplace
• Create API key credentials
• Create OAuth 2.0 Client-ID (type other)
• Remark: For access public API data only the API key is require, for read/write access to your account you need the OAuth 2.0 thing
• Browse to the OAuth 2.0 project url: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?client_id=[my_client_id]&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube&response_type=code
• You'll get a code for your Youtube account. Together with the OAuth 2.0 Client-ID and Client-Secret you can make a curl request to get a token
• curl --request POST --data "code=[my_code]&client_id=[my_client_id]&client_secret=[my_client_secret]&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&grant_type=authorization_code" https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
• Put the API Key and the OAuth Token into the keys.yml. The token is valid for one hour
• Create the other files below, in list.yml you can change regionCode=DE to your region if required
• Run (on a monthly base): "ansible-playbook list.yml -e@keys.yml"
• Remark: In an unspecific timeframe are only 10 playlists allowed to create (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79222309)
