ThinkUp's YouTube plugin collects videos, comments, likes, dislikes and view counts from YouTube for an authorized user.

To use the YouTube plugin, you'l need to create a Google APIs project on google.com <http://code.google.com/apis/console#access>_. Click "Services" and switch the YouTube Analytics API, YouTube Data API
v3 and Google+ API to "On." Next, click on "API Access" then "Create an OAuth 2.0 client ID." Edit the settings for your
new Client ID then click "Next."
Make sure "Application Type" is set to "Web Application" and set the first line of Authorized Redirect URIs as directed.
Client ID (required) is the Client ID provided when you create a Google APIs project on Google.com <http://code.google.com/apis/console#access>_ for use with ThinkUp.

Maximum Crawl Time (optional) Optionally set the maximum amount of time ThinkUp should spend crawling your YouTube data. Defaults to 20 minutes.
YouTube Developer Key (optional) If you are an active YouTuber setting the developer key will allow ThinkUp to retrieve comments on your videos more quickly. Get a developer key from here: https://code.google.com/apis/youtube/dashboard/gwt/index.html#settings
Maximum Comments to Collect (optional) Comment collection can take a long time for active YouTubers and may prevent the plugin from collecting data on older videos. So you can set this to limit the number of comments the plugin collects and increase the number of older videos the plugin collects data on.
