Getting Started

• Put youtube.js and googleAuth.js in your /app/lib/ folder.
• Signup to use the Youtube API here: Google Developers Console
  • Create a new project
  • Enable 'YouTube Data API v3' (APIs & auth >> APIs >> YouTube Data API v3)
  • Create a new OAuth Client ID (APIs & auth >> Credentials >> Create new Client ID)
• Open /app/config.json and add your credential information. Example:

{
  "global": {
    "googleAuth": {
      "clientId": "1059383751733-a1ne37if268lt726mb5eso11038e5kq5.apps.googleusercontent.com",
      "clientSecret": "qrlq907w4Owz5FRZv52momPd",
      "propertyName": "googleToken",
      "quiet": false,
      "scope": ["https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube"]
    }
  },
  "env:development": {},
  "env:test": {},
  "env:production": {},
  "os:android": {},
  "os:blackberry": {},
  "os:ios": {},
  "os:mobileweb": {},
  "dependencies": {
    "ytPlayer": "1.0"
  }
}

• In one of your controllers, require the library and initialize it. Example:

var YouTube = require('youtube');
YouTube.init();

• Make your first call! Example:

YouTube.send({
		operation : "activities",
		properties : {
			part : "snippet,contentDetails",
			home : "true",
			maxResults: "20"
		},
		callback : function(data) {
      alert("Hooray, data! " + data);
    }
});

Further examples

Take a look at the included example app for further details on using the library and parsing results.
