Youtube
Get notifications about uploaded YouTube videos, and search for any YouTube data!
The YouTube module will allow bot users to search for YouTube videos and channels, and see notifications of new uploads.
Credentials Setup
The module requires you to create an application on the Google Cloud Console, to communicate with the YouTube API. Follow the steps below to retrieve your API key, and paste it into the settings of the module:
Do not share this API key with anyone. It is linked to your Google Account, and you are responsible for its use. If you or others misuse this key, it could lead to account restrictions. You can learn more about this at https://console.cloud.google.com/terms.
