YouTube
Access YouTube channels, videos, and analytics through Google OAuth.
Auth Model
User OAuth
Standard OAuth 2.0 authorization. A user grants consent and receives an access token. Authpipe handles refresh, rotation, and health monitoring automatically.
Connection Flow
// Get a valid credential — always fresh, zero latency const { credential } = await authpipe.getCredential({ provider: 'youtube', tenantId: 'org_acme', userId: 'user_123', });
// Use the credential with the provider API const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data', { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${credential}` }, });
// Drop-in React component <ConnectButton provider="youtube" onSuccess={(conn) => console.log('Connected!', conn)} />
