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.
