Hi Deborah, Thank you for stepping in, I appreciate it.
Here's the python code I'm working with - http://codegists.com/snippet/python/youtube_searchpy_valeraradu_python To be honest, I don't know how to define the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to point to a file defining the credentials. In the python script (link in the above line), you could only add the API Key, which I obtained and provided - but the script won't run. I look forward to hearing back from you.
