Add redirect url to oauth.json file.

for example:

{
    "OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID": "618761730062-2sf8fo1qphk3c69ir8enrbp2ou821f5e.apps.googleusercontent.com",

php -S zital.eus:8080

open browser: http://zital.eus:8080
click on authorise access.
choose google account.
allow app
the token is saved in token.json file

RENEW TOKEN THROUGH PHP

When the token.json is created we never use the google page to get the token, the token can be refreshed through code -youtube_uploader.php-:

// ...
    private function tokenRefresh()
    {
        if($this->client->isAccessTokenExpired())
        {
            $newToken = $this->client->getAccessToken();
            $this->client->refreshToken($newToken['refresh_token']);
            $newToken = $this->client->getAccessToken();

            file_put_contents($this->token_file, json_encode($newToken, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT));
        }
    }
// ...
