Pull 3 latest YouTube videos from our channel and display thumbnails/descriptions on homepage

[MarkBennett]

This is a stretch goal, but it would be nice to drive traffic to our YouTube channel by pulling the three latest YouTube videos during the Nuxt.js build and making them display on the home page.

[MarkBennett]

I'm not super familiar with Nuxt.js. Any idea how to do this @stormwarning or @dboydgit?

I haven't looked at the YouTube API in a while, but it should be possible to call the API at build time and grab that data to display somewhere.

We could set up a cloud function that pings the youtube API and returns the latest videos? Might not be building the site that often when it's more established.

@MarkBennett does DES have a google account that I could use to setup a youtube api key?

@dboydgit If I add you to the YouTube brand account can you get it from that?

@MarkBennett I'm not sure, the API keys are managed through the google dev console, not through youtube. This quick start wizard sets up an API key

Ok. Let's check it out in the AM @dboydgit!

Checking in on this one as well, we would need a youtube API key to set this up.

We've got a shared YouTube channel account. Is that all you need access to so that you can issue a key @dboydgit? Do you have access to that account? If not, send me your preferred Google email in slack and I can add you.

Alternatively, want me to just drop an API key in 1Password?

[DerrykBoyd]

I don't have access to the shared YouTube account.

If you can put an API key in 1Password that would be great. It just needs to enabled for YouTube. Can be linked to any google account, doesn't have to be the same as the YouTube account since we are only requesting public data.

[DerrykBoyd]

Do we still want to do this? It's been a few years 😅

hahaha and all our youtube videos are quite old :P closing
