+ ### Added
10
+
11
+ - **The README now says how to SET THIS CONNECTOR UP**, in the package itself.
12
+
13
+ Until now it explained what the four packages are, what they cost and why the
14
+ repo is generated — and said nothing about credentials, scopes, sandboxes or
15
+ operations. Somebody who installed it could not learn from it which credentials
16
+ a connection needs, where a human GETS them, which scopes to request, or what
17
+ the connector can actually do. All of that was already in the definition; the
18
+ one document a consumer reads was the one that omitted everything actionable.
19
+
20
+ The new **Setting it up** section carries:
21
+
22
+ - every credential, with the text saying where the value comes from, whether it
23
+ is **per installation** or **per connected account**, and whether it is secret;
24
+ - the OAuth authorize and token URLs and the exact scopes, verbatim;
25
+ - the access-token lifetime, and where refresh tokens ROTATE, the two things a
26
+ host must not do — retry a failed refresh, or refresh concurrently — because a
27
+ replay revokes the entire grant and nothing in the failure says why;
28
+ - the estate in this provider's own terms, including the cases where a
29
+ successful-looking run reaches nobody, or reaches the real one;
30
+ - every action and trigger with its method, path, inputs, and whether it is safe
31
+ to replay;
32
+ - a trigger's provider-side setup, which nobody can derive from anything else.
33
+
34
+ It is **generated from `provider/manifest.json`**, so it cannot drift from what
35
+ the packages do — which is the point at a few hundred providers, where a
36
+ hand-written setup section is a few hundred documents going quietly stale.
37
+
38
+ No code changed. This release exists because a registry and an installing agent
39
+ read the PUBLISHED artifact, and the artifact carried the old README.

+ ## Setting it up
31
+
32
+ Everything below is generated from `provider/manifest.json`, so it cannot disagree with what the packages do.
33
+
34
+ ### Credentials
35
+
36
+ A YouTube connection holds 4 values.
37
+
38
+ **Two kinds of value, and mixing them up matters.** A `provider` credential is ONE value for the whole installation — an OAuth app's client secret serves every connected account. An `account` credential is one per connected account. A host that stores the second where it stores the first lets one account's credentials reach another's.
39
+
40
+ | Field | Scope | Secret | Where it comes from |
41
+ |---|---|---|---|
42
+ | **OAuth client ID** | per installation | not secret | From Google Cloud Console. One value for the whole installation. |
43
+ | **OAuth client secret** | per installation | **secret** | The client secret for the same OAuth app. |
44
+ | **Access token** | per connected account | **secret** | Per connected YouTube account; expires after one hour. |
45
+ | **Refresh token** | per connected account | **secret** | Per connected YouTube account; the host uses it to refresh the access token. |
46
+
47
+ ### Authorising
48
+
49
+ YouTube uses OAuth2 (authorization_code). The package DECLARES the exchange; the HOST performs it — a consent screen needs a browser, a redirect URI and somewhere to persist the result, and all three belong to the host.
50
+
51
+ - **Authorize URL** — https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth
52
+ - **Token URL** — https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token
53
+ - **Scopes** — `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.force-ssl`
54
+ - **Access token lifetime** — 3600 seconds (1 hours). A host that never refreshes works all afternoon and is broken by morning.
55
+
56
+ The refresh tokens do **not** rotate: the same one is reusable, so a refresh may safely be retried and may run concurrently. Stated rather than assumed, because the opposite — a provider that spends the token and revokes the grant on a replay — looks identical until it happens.
57
+
58
+ ### The estate
59
+
60
+ **YouTube has no test estate, and somebody checked.** Everything this connector does is real. Use the faker to build against it.
61
+
62
+ > YouTube has no sandbox. Every live-mode add changes a real playlist; use the faker during development and remove live test items afterward.
