A Google Cloud project with Owner or Editor permissions is required to create OAuth credentials.


​
Create or select a Google Cloud project
To use YouTube Data API v3 with OAuth 2.0, you need a Google Cloud project.
1
Sign in to Google Cloud
Sign in to your Google Cloud Console.
2
Create or select a project
Select an existing project from the dropdown at the top of the page, or create a new one by clicking New Project and filling in the Project name, Organization, and Parent resource fields, then clicking Create.


​
Enable the YouTube Data API v3
Enable the YouTube Data API v3 for your project. This step is required whether you created a new project or selected an existing one.
1

In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to APIs & Services > Library.
2
Enable YouTube Data API v3
Search for “YouTube Data API v3”, click on it.
  • New project: Click Enable to activate the API.
  • Existing project: If the API is already enabled, the button will show Manage. If it shows Enable, click it to enable the API.


​
Configure Google Auth Platform
Before creating OAuth credentials, ensure Google Auth Platform is configured.
1
Navigate to Google Auth Platform
In the Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services > OAuth consent screen. This will open the Google Auth Platform dashboard.
2
Start configuration
If you have already configured Auth Platform (the OAuth Overview page with usage metrics is shown), skip this step and navigate to the Branding page from the sidebar. Otherwise, you will see a Get started button — click it to begin the configuration process.

Provide email addresses for Google to notify you about any changes to your project. Click Next to continue.

Create OAuth 2.0 client credentials
Set up OAuth client credentials to authenticate with YouTube Data API v3. If you already have an existing OAuth 2.0 client, you can reuse it by adding the StackOne redirect URI and generating a new secret.
1
Navigate to Credentials
In the Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services > Credentials.

Skip this step if you are using an existing client.
  • Click + Create Credentials and select OAuth client ID.
  • Select Web application as the application type.
  • Enter a Name for your OAuth client (e.g., StackOne YouTube Integration).
  • Under Authorized redirect URIs, click Add URI and enter https://api.stackone.com/connect/oauth2/youtube/callback.
  • Click Create. A dialog will display your Client ID and Client Secret — copy and store them securely.
3
Option B — Use an existing OAuth client
Skip this step if you created a new client above.
  • Click on your existing OAuth 2.0 client ID from the list.
  • Under Authorized redirect URIs, click Add URI, enter https://api.stackone.com/connect/oauth2/youtube/callback, and click Save.
  • Under Client secrets, click + Add secret to generate a new secret. Copy it and store it securely — it will not be shown again.
  • Your Client ID is shown on the same page under Additional information.
