yt_oauth: Set up Authorization

In tubern: R Client for the YouTube Analytics and Reporting API

Set up Authorization

Description

The function looks for .httr-oauth in the working directory. If it doesn't find it, it expects an application ID and a secret. If you want to remove the existing .httr-oauth, set remove_old_oauth to TRUE. By default, it is set to FALSE. The function launches a browser to allow you to authorize the application

Usage

yt_oauth(
  app_id = NULL,
  app_secret = NULL,
  scope = "analytics",
  token = ".httr-oauth",
  ...
)

Arguments

app_id	client id; required; no default
app_secret	client secret; required; no default
scope	Character. analytics or monetary-analytics. Required. Default is monetary-analytics. The scopes are largely exchangeable but monetary-analytics yields extra authorizations that come in handy.
token	path to file containing the token. If a path is given, the function will first try to read from it. Default is .httr-oauth in the local directory. So if there is such a file, the function will first try to read from it.
...	Additional arguments passed to oauth2.0_token

Value

sets the google_token option and also saves .httr_auth in the working directory (find out the working directory via getwd())
