Embedded OAuth Credentials

Desktop Authentication with the Embedded OAuth App

You can connect without setting any connection properties for your user credentials. After setting the following, you are ready to connect:

• InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to avoid repeating the OAuth exchange and manually setting the OAuthAccessToken.
• ChannelId: Set this to the Id of a YouTube channel. If not specified, data is returned for the authenticated user's channel.
• ContentOwnerId: Set this to the Id of the content owner if you want to generate content owner reports.

When you connect the driver opens the OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The driver then completes the OAuth process.

1. Extracts the access token from the callback URL and authenticates requests.
2. Obtains a new access token when the old one expires.
3. Saves OAuth values in OAuthSettingsLocation to be persisted across connections.
