Question

I am creating an application that uses OmniAuth exclusively for logins, that is, users can log in using their various accounts from around the Internet. My site involves videosharing, so I would love to be able to have users login using their YouTube account.

I’ve successfully implemented: Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, foursquare, Vimeo and Netflix.

However I am having trouble getting it to work with YouTube. Mainly, I don’t know how I should be formatting the code in my initalizer. I’ve got this thus far:

require 'openid/store/filesystem'
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :twitter, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
  provider :facebook, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
  provider :open_id, OpenID::Store::Filesystem.new('/tmp'), :name => 'google', :identifier => 'https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id'
  provider :foursquare, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
  #provider :linkedin, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
  provider :netflix, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
  #provider :tumblr, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
  #provider :youtube, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
  provider :vimeo, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
end

I would assume YouTube is similar in setup, as they are both run by Google, but I have yet to be able to find any information from either the OmniAuth end or the YouTube end.

Any suggestions?

Information on Tumblr or LinkedIn that would be useful too.

omniauth / oa-oauth / lib / omniauth / strategies / you_tube.rb is about OmniAuth’s YouTube strategy. It should work with:

provider :youtube, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET'
