1

Create an integration

In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> YouTube. Nango doesn’t provide a test OAuth app for YouTube yet. You’ll need to set up your own by following these instructions. After that, make sure to add the OAuth client ID, secret, and scopes in the integration settings in Nango.
Nango has credentials you can use for testing. Activate them in the dashboard.
2

Authorize YouTube

Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to YouTube. Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.
3

Call the YouTube API

Let’s make your first request to the YouTube API (fetch channel information). Replace the placeholders below with your secret key, integration ID, and connection ID:
  • cURL
  • Node
curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/youtube/v3/channels?part=snippet&mine=true" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
Or fetch credentials dynamically via the Node SDK or API.
✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
Next step: Embed the auth flow in your app to let your users connect their YouTube accounts.
