I'm trying to create a Flask app that uses a Google login and then pulls some analytics about the user's youtube channel. I'm still learning Python & Flask
I've been able to create this locally in Python using a method which uses a saved .json file and InstalledAppFlow, but I'm struggling to deploy this to Flask. I test on a local host, but deploy to a website
Below is what I have so far (some parts scrubbed for privacy). I've tried returning various things to the session variable 'user_credentails', looked at many different online tutorials, and read the documentation here (https://docs.authlib.org/en/latest/client/requests.html) but haven't been able to figure it out. I've tried to play around with the "google.get('userinfo') piece too, but it isn't working.
I get the error "AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'authorize'" with the code below, at this part "youtube = build('youtube','v3',credentials=user_info_local)" I cant figure out what to return that has the 'authorize' attribute required.
How exactly can I get authorization credentials returned and passed to the 'pull_videos' function?
