YoutubeMixin
class YoutubeMixin(OAuth10aMixin):
""" To authenticate with Youtube, register your application with Google.
See http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/RegistrationForWebAppsAuto.html
Then copy your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret to the application settings
'google_consumer_key' and 'google_consumer_secret'. Use this Mixin on the
handler for the URL you registered as your application's Callback URL.
When your application is set up, you can use this Mixin like this
to authenticate the user with Twitter and get access to their stream:
class YoutubeHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler,
tornado.auth.YoutubeMixin):
@tornado.web.asynchronous
def get(self):
if self.get_argument("oauth_token", None):

return
self.authorize_redirect()
def _on_auth(self, user):
if not user:
raise tornado.web.HTTPError(500, "Youtube auth failed")
# Save the user using, e.g., set_secure_cookie()
The user object returned by get_authenticated_user() includes the
attribute. 'username' in addition to 'access_token'. You should save the
access token with the user; it is required to make requests on behalf of the
user later with youtube_request().

"""Fetches the given API path, e.g., "/users/default/playlists"
The /feeds/api portion of the path is included for you already.
If you do not add version (v) or output type (alt) paramters they
will default to v=2&alt=json
If the request is a POST, post_args should be provided. Query
string arguments should be given as keyword arguments.
Extensive documentation on the Youtube API can be found here
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html
Many methods require an OAuth access token which you can obtain
through authorize_redirect() and get_authenticated_user(). The
user returned through that process includes an 'access_token'
attribute that can be used to make authenticated requests via
this method. Example usage:
class MainHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler,
tornado.auth.YoutubeMixin):
@tornado.web.authenticated
@tornado.web.asynchronous
def get(self):
self.youtube_request(
"/users/default/playlists",

# Call failed; perhaps missing permission?
