Error 401: deleted_client for youtube3-cli

I guess it's connected to https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/resources/loopback-migration#migrate-to-a-supported-alternative

How can I use YT APIs using a command line on a headless machine? Thanks in advance!

I don't know, but think it's a question for yup-oauth2 which deals with auth*.

[berezovskyi]

Here is what I figured out so far:

1. On "Create OAuth client ID" in GCP, the Desktop option should be chosen. I tried to outsmart GCP by using TV and limited input devices, but no auth mechanisms work with that in practice that would run on the CLI app on a headless machine.
2. An "Installed application flow" (cf. yup-oauth2, for example) is used with a local web server (on a remote).
3. A LocalForward param is used on the SSH connection to the VM running the code that needs to authorize with Google on my behalf when the auth flow needs to be re-done from time to time.

If someone can help me find a better way, I would be very grateful!
