# List YouTube channel videos
Simple script to fetch the list of all videos uploaded to a given YouTube channel.
To run it, first make sure you have `nvm` installed and then:
nvm install
npm install
You need to obtain a developer key in order to be able to call YouTube APIs. The full instructions can be seen [here](https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started). You needs just an API key, not OAuth authorization. Once you have a project with YouTube API access, this is where you create a key:
https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
Click the "Create credentials" and add a new API key.
Copy the new key and paste it into a new file named `config.json` in this folder. Here's how it should look like:
{
"apiKey": "your-key-goes-here"
}
Finally, run it:
node list-videos UUQRPDZMSwXFEDS67uc7kIdg
The string `UUQRPDZMSwXFEDS67uc7kIdg` is a sample YouTube channel. You'll want to replace it with some other channel's id.
If everything goes well, an output file will be created with the name `.tsv`.
