Tech Stack

Getting Started

First, set up your environment variables. Create a .env.local file in the root of the project and add your Clerk and YouTube API credentials:

#CLERK
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY=""
CLERK_SECRET_KEY=""
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_SIGN_IN_URL=/sign-in
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_SIGN_IN_FALLBACK_REDIRECT_URL=/

#NextJS
NEXT_PUBLIC_DOMAIN_URL="https://localhost:3000"

#Google
YOUTUBE_API_KEY=""

Configure Google OAuth with Clerk

To enable users to sign in with Google and grant your application access to their YouTube data, you'll need to configure a custom Google OAuth provider in your Clerk dashboard.

  1. Create Google Cloud Project & OAuth Credentials:

    • Go to the Google Cloud Console.
    • Create a new project or select an existing one.
    • Navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials".
    • Click "Create Credentials" > "OAuth client ID".
    • Choose "Web application" as the application type.
    • Add an "Authorized redirect URI". You can find this URI in your Clerk dashboard under "User & Authentication" > "Social Connections" > "Google". It will look something like https://clerk.YOUR_DOMAIN.com/oauth_callback or https://YOUR_CLERK_FRONTEND_API_HOSTNAME/v1/oauth_callback.
    • Save the Client ID and Client Secret.

  2. Enable YouTube Data API v3:

    • In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to "APIs & Services" > "Library".
    • Search for "YouTube Data API v3" and enable it for your project.

  3. Configure Clerk:

    • Go to your Clerk Dashboard.
    • Navigate to "User & Authentication" > "Social Connections".
    • Enable the Google social connection if it's not already.
    • If you need to customize scopes, you might need to set it up as a "Custom OAuth provider" or ensure the default Google provider allows scope customization.
    • Enter the Client ID and Client Secret obtained from the Google Cloud Console.
    • Add the following scopes:
      • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl
      • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube
      • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly
    • Save your configuration.

Then, install the dependencies and run the development server:

npm install
npm run dev
# or
yarn install
yarn dev
# or
pnpm install
pnpm dev
# or
bun install
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.
