Authorization

To get videos related to your Youtube account you need to be logged in, So now in order to that we need a Acccount Authorization key and users cookie so here are the steps.

• Step1

  Open youtube.com with inspector open

• Step2

  Go to Networks Tab Search for a Request called browser?key=xxxxwhatEverkeyherexxxx click it when find it if you cant find just the reload page.

• Step3

  In Headers Tab Scroll Down and find authorization and cookie value , then copy it to your .env file; paste in as Variable you like AUTHORIZATION and COOKIE

  OR

  just pass them directly

     AUTHORIZATION="SAPISIDHASH xxxxxx......xxxx....xxx"
     COOKIE="VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=fesy_ELdl0I; wide=0; YSCxxxx......"  

    /**
    * -----------------------------------
    *          AUTHORIZATION
    * -----------------------------------
    */
    include_once("./yt.php");

      $youtube = new YT();      
      $env = parse_ini_file('.env');
      $youtube->setAuthorization($env['AUTHORIZATION']);
      $youtube->setCookie($env['COOKIE']);
   // ------------------------------------

     echo json_encode($youtube->HomePageVideosWithAuth());
