API YouTube Assignment Part1 – Register for Google APIs to access YouTube Data
For this assignment, you will access data from YouTube, which is owned by Google. The Google APIs are
described at this site: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library
You will use the YouTube Data API.
Google APIs are easy to use and there is a lot of support for access using different languages. You should
explore this site: https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/
ASSIGNMENT:
•
Sign up for a google developer account. The file YouTube_Developer_application.pdf illustrates the
process of signing up for a developer account.
•
Use your Developer account credentials to run the provided youtube.py program.
•
Submit a zip file (named as described in the syllabus -- Your zip file must have your last name inside
and out. i.e. it should unzip to a folder that also has your last name.)
that contains the following:
1 A screenshot showing your successful developer account application.
2 A screenshot showing your youtube.py program run.
NOTE: YouTube request quotas:
Be aware that YouTube has a daily request quota for its API, something like 10,000. You would be wise to
begin Assignment 2 soon after completing API Registration so as to avoid having a problem and a late
assignment, which is penalized.
If you have an old YouTube developer account and get a request quota error, you may need to create a new
project and get new credentials.
