Python: How do I resolve oauth2client.client.ApplicationDefaultCredentialsError: The Application Default Credentials are not available?

[Amadi, David]

If I understand your previous email well, I've created the bits I
highlighted below and I'm still getting error messages - see below.

I'm running the python script on a Macbook Pro.

*DEVELOPER_KEY = "AIza*****"*
*YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME = "youtube"*
*YOUTUBE_API_VERSION = "v3"*
*GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS = "/Users/*path*/Downloads/Youtube
API-67ty5.json"*

*def youtube_search(options):*
*    youtube = build(YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME,
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, YOUTUBE_API_VERSION,
developerKey=DEVELOPER_KEY)*


*And here's the error message that was printed on my console:*

build() takes at most 2 positional arguments (3 given)

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/Users/*path*/ML with Python/youtube_search.py", line 71, in
<module>

    youtube_search(args)

  File "/Users/*path*/ML with Python/youtube_search.py", line 19, in
youtube_search

    youtube = build(YOUTUBE_API_SERVICE_NAME,
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, YOUTUBE_API_VERSION,
developerKey=DEVELOPER_KEY)

  File

    return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)

    resp, content = http.request(actual_url)

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'request'
