I trying to write code to access the Youtube API in python. I followed the sample code get authenticated for Google API. When I run this I get a message

Access blocked: MyAPP request is invalid

I have no idea why I get this. Any advise would be appreciated.

from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow

# Replace with the path to your downloaded client_secret.json file
CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE = 'client_secret.json'

# Define the scopes your application needs
SCOPES = ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly']

API_SERVICE_NAME = 'youtube'
API_VERSION = 'v3'

def get_authenticated_service():
    flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(CLIENT_SECRETS_FILE, SCOPES)
    credentials = flow.run_local_server(open_browser=False)  # Or flow.run_local_server() for web apps
    return build(API_SERVICE_NAME, API_VERSION, credentials = credentials)

# Now you can use the authenticated service to make YouTube API calls
youtube = get_authenticated_service()

    Are you sure your client secrets are valid? Commented Jun 10 at 2:09

  • The problem seems to be that its a limited input device using the loopback uri. explained here developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/resources/…, but I don't understand how to fix this in python Commented Jun 25 at 13:47
