The error occurs during the initialization of the YouTube API client, specifically stating: "Not a valid origin for the client." This problem is associated with the client's origin not being recognized or registered for the provided client ID. The origin in question is "https://e4171bb…". I'm seeking guidance on resolving this issue to ensure the proper initialization of the YouTube API client in my web application.
Here where the error came from:
Code behind the button:
async function initiateYouTubeSync() { try { // Prompt user for YouTube Channel ID const channelID = prompt('Please enter your YouTube Channel ID:'); // Check if the user entered a Channel ID if (!channelID) { console.error('YouTube Channel ID is required.'); return; } // Initialize the YouTube API client await gapi.client.init({ apiKey: 'Placeholder', clientId: 'Placeholder', discoveryDocs: ['https://www.googleapis.com/discovery/v1/apis/youtube/v3'], scope: 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.readonly', }); // Authenticate user const authResult = await gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance().signIn(); // Check if authentication was successful if (authResult) { // Get YouTube channel information const channelResponse = await gapi.client.youtube.channels.list({ part: 'snippet,statistics', id: channelID, }); const channelData = channelResponse.result.items[0].snippet; const channelName = channelData.title; const channelDescription = channelData.description; const channelProfilePicture = channelData.thumbnails.default.url; // Get YouTube video information (example: last uploaded video) const videosResponse = await gapi.client.youtube.search.list({ part: 'snippet', channelId: channelID, maxResults: 1, order: 'date', }); const videoData = videosResponse.result.items[0].snippet; const videoTitle = videoData.title; const videoDescription = videoData.description; const videoThumbnail = videoData.thumbnails.default.url; // Get YouTube subscriber count const subsResponse = await gapi.client.youtube.channels.list({ part: 'statistics', id: channelID, }); const subsCount = subsResponse.result.items[0].statistics.subscriberCount; // Save the information to your MelliePlay data const user = firebase.auth().currentUser; if (user) { const email = user.email; // Use your Firebase Firestore instance (db) to save the data await db.collection('channels').doc(email).set({ channelName, channelDescription, channelProfilePicture, subsCount, }); await db.collection('videos').doc(email).set({ videoTitle, videoDescription, videoThumbnail, }); // Close the popup closeSyncPopup(); } else { console.error('User not authenticated.'); } } else { console.error('YouTube authentication failed.'); } } catch (error) { console.error('Error initiating YouTube synchronization:', error); } }I attempted to initialize the YouTube API client with the provided API key and client ID. I expected a successful initialization, enabling interaction with the YouTube API. However, the actual result was an error stating, "Not a valid origin for the client," with the origin being "https://e4171bb…". I need assistance in resolving this issue to ensure proper client ID registration and API initialization.
One of my tries:
how can i fix this?
