Set up Authorization — yt

The function reads a cached token when one exists. Otherwise, it opens the system browser and asks Google to authorize the application. By default, tokens are stored in the user's R cache directory rather than the project directory.

Usage

yt_oauth(
  app_id = NULL,
  app_secret = NULL,
  scope = "ssl",
  token = file.path(tools::R_user_dir("tuber", "cache"), "oauth-token.rds"),
  ...
)

Arguments

app_id: client id; required; no default
app_secret: client secret; required; no default
scope: Character. ssl, basic, own_account_readonly, upload_and_manage_own_videos, channel_memberships, partner, and partner_audit. Required. ssl and basic are basically interchangeable. Default is ssl.
token: Path to the token cache. The default is `file.path(tools::R_user_dir("tuber", "cache"), "oauth-token.rds")`.
...: Additional arguments passed to oauth_flow_auth_code

Value

The OAuth token, invisibly. The function also sets the `google_token` option and saves the token at `token`.
