Hey, I was trying to put together a small app to index youtube videos
using the YouTube search resource from the Google api package. I
looked at the calendar example but it requires consent from a user,
and I want to use a developer key instead.

I see the dev key property in the handler... but when I run the code
it still complains about "not authenticated"

I've been paroozing the source but I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask if
someone has an example out there

I don't see any where AuthMethod property is read, so my guess is that
you'll always use OAuth2 for authentication, it's quite clear reading
googleclient source code. If you only need to call unauthenticated
APIs such as channels.list, I suggest using fphttpclient instead as
it's way simpler like so:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i uses
fphttpclient,fpjson,jsonparser;...JSON := TJSONObject(GetJSON(TFPHTTPC
lient.SimpleGet('https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/channels?forUse
rname=<channel username here>&key=<your api key here>')));(* will
return something like:{  "kind": "youtube#channelListResponse", 
"etag": "EoDlEPBUv4rVlFusZFe1fTBsGRI",  "pageInfo": {   
"totalResults": 1,    "resultsPerPage": 5  },  "items": [    {     
"kind": "youtube#channel",      "etag":
"jmginRTMBuf36NMFkYvfDyOTTHM",      "id": "UCc_8N8sPB8RWKRfPxWjlFCg" 
 }  ]}  *)

Thanks for the reply. I ended up doing that and was still able to use
the search list result object (with the library) to parse the json
