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);
    }
});
