I have this call that makes a client log in, but how do i pass the username and email to authenticate the user. What i am trying to do is get all the uploaded files from a particular user YouTube account. This is the client log in I am using but doesn’t work:

Dim Str As System.IO.Stream
Dim srRead As System.IO.StreamReader
Dim req As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(String.Format("https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin/Email={0}&Password={1}&service=youtube&source=Test", username, password))
Dim resp As System.Net.WebResponse = req.GetResponse
Str = resp.GetResponseStream
srRead = New System.IO.StreamReader(Str)
Me.XMLDocument.LoadXml(srRead.ReadToEnd)

Then when the user authenticates I need to make another request that gets the uploaded videos if the client log in is successful.

    you don’t need to authenticate to retrieve a user’s uploads, just a simple GET request on the YouTube API will get you the data in XML:

    http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/<username>/uploads

    For example, see here for all uploads by HBO Sports.

    see here for how to use the YouTube .NET Client Library to retrieve the videos uploaded by a particular User:
