###Setting up YouTube

To get started, login to the Google Developers Console by going to https://console.developers.google.com. Navigate to API Manager > Credentials and create a new project, after that's done go to the OAuth consent screen and enter a Product name (all other fields are optional).

Next click on Create credentials > OAuth client ID and enter the following:

Once you are done you will be given a Client ID and Client Secret.

Next navigate to API Manager > Overview and in the search for YouTube Data API and enable the service, then open the server > .env file and enter:

  • Client ID string under YOUTUBE_CLIENT_ID
  • Client Secret string under YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRET

Also make sure to set:

  • YOUTUBE_INTEGRATION_DISABLED to false
  • YOUTUBE_OAUTH_ENABLED to true
  • YOUTUBE_UPDATE_FREQ_MINUTES to the number of minutes you want to wait before updating the data. Note A small number is not always the best and it might make Syte2 slow, use a number close to how often you post a video to YouTube.

Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/youtube/auth, you will be taken to Google's website and will be asked to sign in and authorize your application. After you authorized you will be taken back to Syte2 and you will be given an Access Token, a Refresh Token and your Playlist ID. Open the server > .env file again and enter:

  • Access Token under YOUTUBE_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • Refresh Token under YOUTUBE_REFRESH_TOKEN
  • Playlist ID under YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_ID

Next, restart the server and open the following url http://localhost:3000/youtube/setup. If everything is setup right, this will fetch some of your recent videos and save them to the database. If you have posted a video recently, you should be able to go to http://localhost:3000 and see that video in your stream and at this point your YouTube page should be working.
