Are you a budding YouTuber and want to keep an eye on your subscriber numbers? We’ve A got just the thing. We’re making a Pi Pico W-powered subscriber counter using a low-cost LCD screen. It updates every hour with the latest subscriber numbers. We’re also learning about the YouTube API. First log in to the Google Cloud Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/welcome), then click on the project selector drop-down. In the new window, click on New Project. In the next window, give the project a name, we chose LXF Subs Project. Now click Create. Next we need to enable API access for the project.
In the left-hand menu, click on APIs & Services > Library. In the search bar, search for YouTube Data API v3. When the result pops up, click on it, then on Enable. The last step is to obtain the credentials (API key), which enable our project to use the YouTube API.
Head back to the APIs & Services section and select Credentials. Click on Create Credentials. Choose API Key and in a few seconds an API key is generated. Do not share this key or put it in any version control (like GitHub). Do make a copy of the key in a text editor.
The final task is to get our channel ID. Open a browser window and go to YouTube; make sure you are logged in. Click on your face icon, top-right, and select Settings. In the next screen, click Advanced Settings. Copy the channel ID and keep it safe in the text file.
