# Obtain Authorization Token from Google

That the complicated part:
* create an OAuth2.0 application with authorization for Youtube DATA Api v3 Upload
* create a OAuth2.0 client with Desktop client

You’ll need:
* the `client_id` from your OAuth2.0 client
* the `client_secret` from you OAuth2.0 client

Then enter in:

```
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?client_id=XXX.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload&response_type=code
```

And accept that your YouTube account might be modified. You’ll get a code then; enter this `curl` post:

```
curl -s \
--request POST \
--data "code=[THE_CODE]&client_id=XXX.apps.googleusercontent.com&client_secret=[THE_CLIENT_SECRET]&redirect_uri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob&grant_type=authorization_code" \
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token
```

You’ll get a Token. The only important part is the `refresh_token`

In your `tootube.toml` config file, put the `refresh_token`.
