I'm trying to use YouTube Data API in Google Colab for retrieve the results of a search.

I'm using the code available in the documentation as a blueprint.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

# This sample executes a search request for the specified search term.
# Sample usage:
#   python search.py --q=surfing --max-results=10
# NOTE: To use the sample, you must provide a developer key obtained
#       in the Google APIs Console. Search for "REPLACE_ME" in this code
#       to find the correct place to provide that key..

import argparse

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from googleapiclient.errors import HttpError


# Set DEVELOPER_KEY to the API key value from the APIs & auth > Registered apps
# tab of
#   https://cloud.google.com/console
# Please ensure that you have enabled the YouTube Data API for your project.
DEVELOPER_KEY = 'REPLACE_ME'
YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME = 'youtube'
YOUTUBE_API_VERSION = 'v3'

def youtube_search(options):
  youtube = build(YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME, YOUTUBE_API_VERSION,
    developerKey=DEVELOPER_KEY)

  # Call the search.list method to retrieve results matching the specified
  # query term.
  search_response = youtube.search().list(
    q=options.q,
    part='id,snippet',
    maxResults=options.max_results
  ).execute()

  videos = []
  channels = []
  playlists = []

  # Add each result to the appropriate list, and then display the lists of
  # matching videos, channels, and playlists.
  for search_result in search_response.get('items', []):
    if search_result['id']['kind'] == 'youtube#video':
      videos.append('%s (%s)' % (search_result['snippet']['title'],
                                 search_result['id']['videoId']))
    elif search_result['id']['kind'] == 'youtube#channel':
      channels.append('%s (%s)' % (search_result['snippet']['title'],
                                   search_result['id']['channelId']))
    elif search_result['id']['kind'] == 'youtube#playlist':
      playlists.append('%s (%s)' % (search_result['snippet']['title'],
                                    search_result['id']['playlistId']))

  print 'Videos:\n', '\n'.join(videos), '\n'
  print 'Channels:\n', '\n'.join(channels), '\n'
  print 'Playlists:\n', '\n'.join(playlists), '\n'


if __name__ == '__main__':
  parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
  parser.add_argument('--q', help='Search term', default='Google')
  parser.add_argument('--max-results', help='Max results', default=25)
  args = parser.parse_args()

  try:
    youtube_search(args)
  except HttpError, e:
    print 'An HTTP error %d occurred:\n%s' % (e.resp.status, e.content)

However, when executing this code, I got this message on the console:

Please visit this URL to authorize this application: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?response_type=code&client_id=327114017303-uvhp1oeqmuvsjohr0bmjevcet3g6tsb6.apps.googleusercontent.com&redirect_uri=urn%3Aietf%3Awg%3Aoauth%3A2.0%3Aoob&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fyoutube+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fyoutube.readonly+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.googleapis.com%2Fauth%2Fyoutube.force-ssl&state=qUtm4Dd4xh7NPerHBdf8bsEP3yoae2&prompt=consent&access_type=offline

I clicked on the link, but, the page shows this message/error:

Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch The redirect URI in the request, urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob, can only be used by a Client ID for native application. It is not allowed for the WEB client type. You can create a Client ID for native application at https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials/oauthclient

Screenshot:

error_400

I'm unable to find any documentation or tutorial that shows how to use OAuth 2.0 in Google Colab.

I find this answer - which use the Google OAuth 2.0 Playground -, but, nothing related to Google Colab and the Error 400 - which I think it's about the IPs/permissons to set on the API_KEY about certains domains.

I also found this question and I checked and tried the answers made there, but, the problem persist, I'm stating to believe that it's not possible to use OAuth 2.0 with Google Colab - I hope I'm wrong on this case...

This answer says:

To fix you issue, you'll have to have the same redirect URI set on your project within Google developers console and, at the same time, within your Python script.

I have added the domain of Google Colaboratory and the error continues. Does anybody knows the correct steps for solvie this issue?

You need to get the developer key and replace like how it says here to authorize the API connection like highlighted in this section:

# Set DEVELOPER_KEY to the API key value from the APIs & auth > Registered apps
# tab of
#   https://cloud.google.com/console
# Please ensure that you have enabled the YouTube Data API for your 
project.
DEVELOPER_KEY = 'REPLACE_ME'
YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME = 'youtube'
YOUTUBE_API_VERSION = 'v3'
