[Chicago] Looking for some OAUTH2/Google API help

Carl> I think I can help.

Carl> I use the api to upload 1000's of videos to youtube from the CLI.
 same thing, right?

Carl> The code is here:

I'll check that out as well.

Seems to me that the whole OAUTH2 thing should be pretty much boiler plate.
Ought to be able to whittle it down to a straightforward function call or

actual working code, so what do I know? :-/

Carl> What's next?

Let me check out that URL and your code. I'll post back here in a day or
three. Well you be at the March 10 meeting? Perhaps we can connect then.

Carl> Oh yeah, getting the -right- key is what trips me up.  Getting the
wrong key is easy.

I can assure anyone who questions the veracity of this statement that Carl
speaks the truth. I have plenty of experience with the second option at
this point.
