安装
google-api-python-client包,github仓库:https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-python-client安装
oauth2client包,github仓库:https://github.com/googleapis/oauth2clientgoogle cloud创建应用
- 在api库中搜索
youtube data api v3并启用 - 在OAuth consent screen中创建一个应用,选择desktop app,把自己的邮箱添加到test user
 - 在凭据Credentials中创建OAuth 2.0客户端id,把客户端id,客户端密钥替换到下面这个json中,并保存到项目下的
client_secrets.json中(要和上传的python脚本文件在相同目录) 
json{ "web": { "client_id": "[[INSERT CLIENT ID HERE]]", "client_secret": "[[INSERT CLIENT SECRET HERE]]", "redirect_uris": [], "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth", "token_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token" } }- 在api库中搜索
