YouTube plugin for Sopel

Installing

If possible, use pip to install this plugin. Below are example commands; you might need to add sudo and/or call a different pip (e.g. pip3) depending on your system and environment. Do not use setup.py install; Sopel won't be able to load the plugin correctly.

pip install .

Getting your API key

Go to the Google Developers Console and create an application. When it's created, go to the APIs section, select the YouTube Data API and enable it. Then go to the Credentials section, select "Add credentials", pick "API key", and then "Server key". You can enter a name for it and limit the IPs it can be used from, but you don't have to. Copy the value it gives you into the prompt in the config wizard, or the api_key value of the config in the [youtube] section.
