After some wise input from jlmcdonald, I re-wrote this post
The end goal is to do some fun stuff with the YouTube API. Today's goal is to just get it to work.
I did the youtube dev java-scrip API tutorial here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/javascript#my_uploads
But instead of separate documents, I did one large one and adjusted the script tags as needed.
Could not get it to work.... Ideas?
Here's a pic of my API codes from Google (if needed) http://d.pr/i/Ybcx
