The authentication tab gives you textboxes to enter YouTube API keys to allow the Scraper to communicate with youtube.
You will need to create a new project through Google APIs console. At a minimum, each project will require:
- An API key as a credential method.
- The 'YouTube Data API v3' Service enabled for this particular project.
Each free project has a daily quota of 10,000 credits to this API. This is the reason for multiple projects/keys. You can have different scrapes using different keys, so you never exhaust any one quota.
Used to identify the authentication method. Used on the 'Scrape' tab to pick the auth method you want to use.
Purely a description field used to identify the project name in the Google console. Allows you to keep track of which project is being used.
The full API key that will be used to query the YouTube API. Keep this safe and do not make it public.
Each type of search query costs credits. This Quota counter will show you how much you've used. Manually update for now. Put it to 10000 in the morning to see how much you're using up each day.
Note that the Auth tab is NOT exported or imported using the import/export tool. This is more for safety and passing credentials around is not safe. The exported file is cleartext json files, so no encryption to protect you. Better to just fill these fields in manually.
