Youtube Analytics API 403 error

Question

Hello i Would like to know somethink.

i follow the steps on the website https://developers.google.com/youtube/analytics/v1/sample-application#Enable_Authentication

Answer 1

I had the same issue while using the youtube data api v3.

Just follow the steps :

1. make sure u change the checkAuth() and replace immediate:false. This will be a good way to debug your code.(thats what happened i my case). Also make sure the required APIS are set to ON in google developers console.

function checkAuth() {
 gapi.auth.authorize({
 client_id: OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID,
 scope: OAUTH2_SCOPES,
immediate: false
}, handleAuthResult);
}

Once step 1 is followed u might get an error of unknow_client(thats the core issue actually)

2 So go to google developers console.For your project go to APIs and Auths>Consent screen> and provide the email address and product name.

3 Save it. Now try executing the code.
