I'm trying to make a widget for CMS Sites where I can authenticate my user on the admin page and then show a timer to the next youtube live broadcast and link directly to it from my page.
I have successfully used the youtube.liveBroadcasts.list api and received a list of my broadcasts and showing it on a page. But I want to be able to show this(about my channel) on a page when another user visits the page, without the need to login or use authentication of any kind.
I think to use this requests from Youtube API, a Login is Required. For example when you just paste this in your browser LiveBroadcasts.list URI request in your browser
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/liveBroadcasts
without being logged-on you'd get an error:
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "required",
"message": "Login Required",
"locationType": "header",
"location": "Authorization",
I think it would also help to read on Implementing OAuth 2.0 Authorization.
These are the supported OAuth flows:
- The server-side flow supports web applications that can securely store persistent information.
- The client-side flow supports JavaScript applications running in a browser.
- The installed application flow supports applications installed on a device, such as a phone or computer.
- The device flow supports devices with limited input capabilities, such as game consoles and video cameras.
*The service account flow supports server-to-server interactions that do not access user information. However, the YouTube Data API does not support this flow. Since there is no way to link a Service Account to a YouTube account, attempts to authorize requests with this flow will generate a NoLinkedYouTubeAccount error.
In short, I think you need to be authorized to perform this API call.
