OmniAuth YouTube
================
**NOTE: THIS GEM IS DEPRECATED IN FAVOR OF `google_oauth2`**
google_oauth2 configuration for YouTube
---------------------------------------
This gem no longer works. Try [omniauth-google-oauth2](https://github.com/zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2) instead:
```
config.omniauth :google_oauth2,KEY,SECRET, { access_type: "offline", approval_prompt: "force", name: "youtube" }
```

About (OLD)
-----------
This is an [OmniAuth 1.0](https://github.com/intridea/omniauth) strategy for authenticating to YouTube.
Get a Google Oauth2.0 API key at their [API console](https://code.google.com/apis/console/)
Your key (AKA client_id) looks like "555555555555.apps.googleusercontent.com"; a longer key like "555555555-xxxxyyyzzz"
won't work. See [this issue](https://github.com/zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2/issues/10#issuecomment-5720475) for discussion.
An example Rails 3.2 application using omniauth and omniauth-youtube is also available:
Usage
-----
In a Rack application:
```ruby
use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :youtube, ENV['YOUTUBE_KEY'], ENV['YOUTUBE_SECRET'], {:access_type => 'online', :approval_prompt => ''}
end
```
For Rails, put this in `config/initializers/omniauth.rb`:
```ruby
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
provider :youtube, ENV['YOUTUBE_KEY'], ENV['YOUTUBE_SECRET'], {:access_type => 'online', :approval_prompt => ''}
end
```
Restart your server and visit */auth/youtube* to try it out
Options
-------
Re. :access_type and :approval_prompt, via [omniauth-google-oauth2](https://github.com/zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2/blob/master/examples/omni_auth.rb):
> If you don't need a refresh token -- you're only using Google for account creation/auth and don't need Google services -- set the access_type to 'online', vs. 'offline'
> Also, set the approval prompt to an empty string, since otherwise it will be set to 'force', which makes users manually approve to the Oauth every time they log in.
