Youtube Api for Rust and Wasm

This crate is mainly for front_end and supposed to be used with the custom http client of your choice as long as it uses the http-types.

There are already existing stable projects for using it on the backend.

The Youtube Api requires api_key and a refresh_token.

The implementation of youtube Api is done manually with the help of the documentation and used also to introduce Rust and Wasm to new programmers.

How to create credentials

• Create a config.json at the root of the example project with the following format :

{
  "api_key": API_KEY,
  "client_id":  CLIENT_ID
}

• Select your project here: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
• Click 'Create credentials'.

API Key

• After clicking 'API Key' in the 'Create credentials' menu, an API key should be generated.
• Click on the newly generated API key, and give it a name, ex: Youtube.
• Application restrictions: click 'HTTP referrers'.
  • Website restrictions: add item, and add URL to your local server, ex: localhost:8000
• API restrictions: click 'Restrict key', and select the 'YouTube Data API v3'.
  • If the 'YouTube Data API v3' API does not appear, navigate to the 'Library' tab on the left, and search for the API. Click on it and press 'Enable'.
• Click 'Save' on the API key.
• On the 'Dashboard' tab, copy the key and insert it in the config.json file.

OAuth Client ID

• Select 'Web application' after clicking the 'Create OAuth client ID' menu option.
• Give the client ID a name, ex: Ringrev
• Authorized JavaScript origins: Add 2 URIs with the URL to your local server, one containing http:// and one containing https://
• Authorized redirect URIs: Repeat the above step.
• Click 'Create'.
• On the 'Dashboard' tab, copy the ID and insert it in the config.json file.
