使用YouTube API的私有视频 - Drupal

Question

I want to set up my Drupal site to embed private videos from YouTube. I am the owner of these videos, and I have marked them as private to protect them from the general public.

From the documentation, I have seen how to do an authentication where the user is taken to youtube, has to log in to his account, and consent to give my web app access. Instead, I just want to always be logged in to a designated youtube account that has the necessary permissions. What would be the best way to go about doing this?

Answer 1

It appears that I could use the ClientLogin auth method to get what I'm after, although the documentation sternly warns this is only to be used for desktop applications. I'm guessing it's only for security reasons, because they don't want services storing user's credentials. Obviously that's not the case here, as I just want to log in myself. I'll see how it goes.
