How can I avoid having to manually obtain OAuth 2.0 authorization codes for Youtube Analytics API?

I'd like to set up my code to run daily but the only roadblock is OAuth. I have to login to my Google account each time I run my code to obtain the authorization code to access my Youtube data. I'm trying to find a way to either store the authorization code automatically without me needing to follow the url and manually copy it, or to create some sort of credentials that I can store in my script to use anytime authorization is needed.

youtubeAnalytics = get_service()result = execute_api_request(    youtubeAnalytics.reports().query,    ids='channel==MINE',    startDate=format_week,    endDate=format_today,    metrics='estimatedMinutesWatched,views,likes,subscribersGained',    dimensions='video',    sort='-views',    maxResults=20 )

This line is what prompts the url I need to access for the authorization code.

I was unable to find documentation to support the idea that storing credentials may be possible without the ues of OAuth 2.0.
