Error when running Youtube Data Service in App Scripts (js) – Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded

I'm running a custom function in App Scripts which utilizes the Youtube (YouTube Data API v3) advanced service. When running, I get the following error:
GoogleJsonResponseException: API call to youtube.videos.list failed with error: Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup. (line 15).
I'm not sure how to authenticate my application. I've added it to a cloud project and enabled the API's.
Update: Here's what my code looks like:
function getYoutubeData(youtubeId) {
// Don't run on empty
if(!youtubeId){return null}
// Make the request
var vidData = YouTube.Videos.list("statistics, snippet", {id: youtubeId}).items;
if (!vidData|vidData.length<1){return null}
// Get the first item
vidData = vidData[0];
return vidData.statistics
}

I believe your goal as follows.
You want to put the value of vidData.statistics in your script to the cell.
You want to achieve this using custom function like =getYoutubeData(youtubeId).
For this, how about this answer?
Issue and workaround:
Unfortunately, when YouTube Data API of Advanced Google services is used in the custom function, the access token is not used. From your script, I think that the reason of your issue is this. For example, when the function of const sample = () => ScriptApp.getOAuthToken(); is used as the custom function like =sample(), no value is returned. I think that this is the current specification of Google side because of the security.
In order to achieve your goal under above situation, how about the following workarounds?
Workaround 1:
In this workaround, at first, the youtube ID is set to the cells in Google Spreadsheet. And the value of vidData.statistics are retrieved by the Google Apps Script which is not the custom function and replace the youtube ID with the result values.
Sample script:
Please set the range of cells of youtube IDs to sourceRange and the sheet name. At the sample, it supposes that the youtube IDs are put to the cells "A1:A10". And please run getYoutubeData() at the script editor. Of course, you can also set this to the custom menu.
function getYoutubeData() {
const sourceRange = "A1:A10"; // Please set the range of cells of youtube IDs.
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Sheet1"); // Please set the sheet name.
const range = sheet.getRange(sourceRange);
const youtubeIds = range.getValues();
const values = youtubeIds.map(([youtubeId]) => {
// This is your script.
if(!youtubeId){return [null]}
var vidData = YouTube.Videos.list("statistics, snippet", {id: youtubeId}).items;
if (!vidData|vidData.length<1){return [null]}
vidData = vidData[0];
return [JSON.stringify(vidData.statistics)];
});
range.setValues(values);
}
Workaround 2:
In this workaround, the custom function is used. But, in this case, the Web Apps is used as the wrapper. By this, the authorization process is done at the Web Apps. So the custom function can be run without the authorization. Please do the following flow.
1. Prepare script.
When your script is used, it becomes as follows. Please copy and paste the following script to the script editor.
Sample script:
// This is your script.
function getYoutubeData_forWebApps(youtubeId) {
// Don't run on empty
if(!youtubeId){return null}
// Make the request
var vidData = YouTube.Videos.list("statistics, snippet", {id: youtubeId}).items;
if (!vidData|vidData.length<1){return null}
// Get the first item
vidData = vidData[0];
return vidData.statistics
}
// Web Apps using as the wrapper.
function doGet(e) {
const res = getYoutubeData_forWebApps(e.parameter.youtubeId)
return ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(res));
}
// This is used as the custom function.
function getYoutubeData(youtubeId) {
const url = "https://script.google.com/macros/s/###/exec?youtubeId=" + youtubeId; // Please set the URL of Web Apps after you set the Web Apps.
return UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getContentText();
}
2. Deploy Web Apps.
On the script editor, Open a dialog box by "Publish" -> "Deploy as web app".
Select "Me" for "Execute the app as:".
By this, the script is run as the owner.
Select "Anyone, even anonymous" for "Who has access to the app:".
In this case, no access token is required to be request. I think that I recommend this setting for testing this workaround.
Of course, you can also use the access token. But, in this case, when the access token is used, this sample script cannot be directly used as the custom function.
Click "Deploy" button as new "Project version".
Automatically open a dialog box of "Authorization required".
Click "Review Permissions".
Select own account.
Click "Advanced" at "This app isn't verified".
Click "Go to ### project name ###(unsafe)"
Click "Allow" button.
Click "OK".
Copy the URL of Web Apps. It's like https://script.google.com/macros/s/###/exec.
When you modified the Google Apps Script, please redeploy as new version. By this, the modified script is reflected to Web Apps. Please be careful this.
Please set the URL of https://script.google.com/macros/s/###/exec to url of above script. And please redeploy Web Apps. By this, the latest script is reflected to the Web Apps. So please be careful this.
4. Test this workaround.
Please put =getYoutubeData("###youtubeId###") to a cell. By this, the youtube ID is sent to the Web Apps and the Web Apps returns the values of vidData.statistics.
Note:
These are the simple sample scripts for explaining the workarounds. So when you use this, please modify it for your actual situation.

Is it possible to send a key code to an application that is not in front?

I'm writing a simple Automator script in Javascript.
I want to send a key-code(or key-storke) to an OS X application that is not in front.
Basically, I want to run this code and do my things while the script opens a certain application, write text, and hit enter - all of this without bothering my other work.
I want something like this:
Application("System Events").processes['someApp'].windows[0].textFields[0].keyCode(76);
In Script Dictionary, there is keyCode method under Processes Suite.
The above code, however, throws an error that follows:
execution error: Error on line 16: Error: Named parameters must be passed as an object. (-2700)
I understand that the following code works fine, but it require the application to be running in front:
// KeyCode 76 => "Enter"
Application("System Events").keyCode(76);
UPDATE: I'm trying to search something on iTunes(Apple Music). Is this possible without bringing iTunes app upfront?

It's possible to write text in application that is not in front with the help of the GUI Scripting (accessibility), but :
You need to know what UI elements are in the window of your specific
application, and to know the attributes and properties of the
specific element.
You need to add your script in the System Preferences --> Security
& Privacy --> Accessibility.
Here's a sample script (tested on macOS Sierra) to write some text at the position of the cursor in the front document of the "TextEdit" application.
Application("System Events").processes['TextEdit'].windows[0].scrollAreas[0].textAreas[0].attributes["AXSelectedText"].value = "some text" + "\r" // r is the return KEY
Update
To send some key code to a background application, you can use the CGEventPostToPid() method of the Carbon framework.
Here's the script to search some text in iTunes (Works on my computer, macOS Sierra and iTunes Version 10.6.2).
ObjC.import('Carbon')
iPid = Application("System Events").processes['iTunes'].unixId()
searchField = Application("System Events").processes['iTunes'].windows[0].textFields[0]
searchField.buttons[0].actions['AXPress'].perform()
delay(0.1) // increase it, if no search
searchField.focused = true
delay(0.3) // increase it, if no search
searchField.value = "world" // the searching text
searchField.actions["AXConfirm"].perform()
delay(0.1) // increase it, if no search
// ** carbon methods to send the enter key to a background application ***
enterDown = $.CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent($(), 76, true);
enterUp = $.CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent($(), 76, false);
$.CGEventPostToPid(iPid, enterDown);
delay(0.1)
$.CGEventPostToPid(iPid, enterUp);

Enable users of a WebRtc app to download webrtc logs via javascript

I've seen the following:
chrome://webrtc-internals
However I'm looking for a way to let users click a button from within the web app to either download or - preferably - POST WebRtc logs to an endpoint baked into the app. The idea is that I can enable non-technical users to share technical logs with me through the click of a UI button.
How can this be achieved?
Note: This should not be dependent on Chrome; Chromium will also be used as the app will be wrapped up in Electron.

You need to write a javascript equivalent that captures all RTCPeerConnection API calls. rtcstats.js does that but sends all data to a server. If you replace that behaviour with storing it in memory you should be good.

This is what I ended up using (replace knockout with underscore or whatever):
connectionReport.signalingState = connection.signalingState;
connectionReport.stats = [];
connection.getStats(function (stats) {
const reportCollection = stats.result();
ko.utils.arrayForEach(reportCollection, function (innerReport) {
const statReport = {};
statReport.id = innerReport.id;
statReport.type = innerReport.type;
const keys = innerReport.names();
ko.utils.arrayForEach(keys, function (reportKey) {
statReport[reportKey] = innerReport.stat(reportKey);
})
connectionReport.stats.push(statReport);
});
connectionStats.push(connectionReport);
});
UPDATE:
It appears that this getStats mechanism is soon-to-be-deprecated.

Reading through js source of chrome://webrtc-internals, I noticed that the web page is using a method called chrome.send() to send messages like chrome.send('enableEventLogRecordings');, to execute logging commands.
According to here:
chrome.send() is a private function only available to internal chrome
pages.
so the function is sandboxed which makes accessing to it not possible

Adobe DPS Android Entitlement

We are stuck with an Adobe DPS project. We cant get our DPS android app to do Entitlement for our print subscribers and we were wondering if anyone out there has managed to get this right.
We've used Adobe's tutorial here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/library-store-combined-template.html, with isEntitlementViewer set to true.
The code asks for a username and password and then via Adobe's API AdobeLibraryAPI.js, it authenticates a user via our own API. the very same code is working 100% in the iPad version of the app.
The file that actually processes the login (called LoginDialog.js) contains the following code within a function called clickHandler (we’ve added a few javascript alerts to try debug the login process)
// Login using the authenticationService.
var transaction = adobeDPS.authenticationService.login($username.val(), $password.val());
alert("1: "+transaction.state ); //returns “1: 0”
transaction.completedSignal.addOnce(function(transaction) {
alert("2: "+transaction.state ); //never returns
var transactionStates = adobeDPS.transactionManager.transactionStates;
if (transaction.state == transactionStates.FAILED) {
$("#login .error").html("Authentication Failed.")
} else if (transaction.state == transactionStates.FINISHED){
this.$el.trigger("loginSuccess");
this.close();
}
alert("3: "+transaction.state ); //never returns
}, this);
alert("4: "+transaction.error ); //never returns
Anyone out there with some DPS/android/Entitlement experience?

Android Entitlement only works after an integrator ID is registered with Adobe, as the android viewers service routes are only configured via the integrator ID.
If you do not have an integrator ID, you need to acquire one from Adobe Support.
Also it is worth mentioning, that in contrary to iOS, Android DPS viewers only support one base Route/URL for Authentication and Entitlements.
For Example whereas in iOS you can have the login been done via the first URL:
https://example.com/api/v1/SignInWithCredentials
The second URL for entitlements can be on a different URL:
http://server2.example.com/v1/api/entitlements
In android both URLs have to be the same, e.g.:
https://example.com/api/v1/SignInWithCredentials and
https://example.com/api/v1/entitlements

Browser Link and Web Forms (Design mode doesn't work for ASP.NET Web Forms)

I have been playing around with the new Browser Link feature in visual studio 2013. However, I am not able to get the "Design Mode" feature working for "Web Form" pages. It works fine when I am browsing a MVC page. However, as soon as I add a web form to the project, it get an alert in my browser saying that
"Design mode doesn't work for ASP.NET Web Forms".
I can also inspect and refresh the page (from the Browser Link Dashboard).
I tried to debug the JavaScript code injected into the browser to see where it's happening. If you turn your F12 developer on, and search for "Design Mode", you will see it in a js file (the path looks like "/foo/browserlink").
map = browserLink.sourceMapping.getCompleteRange(target);
if (map && map.sourcePath) {
if (isValidFile(map.sourcePath.toLowerCase())) {
current = target;
$(target).addClass(selectedClass);
browserLink.sourceMapping.selectCompleteRange(current);
}
else {
enableDesignMode(false);
alert("Design Mode doesn't work for ASP.NET Web Forms");
}
}
and then the "isValidFile" has the following body
function isValidFile(sourcePath) {
var exts = [".master", ".aspx", ".ascx"];
var index = sourcePath.lastIndexOf(".");
var extension = sourcePath.substring(index);
for (var i = 0; i < exts.length; i++) {
if (exts[i] === extension)
return false;
}
return true;
}
How can I get this working for my Web forms application?

So the injected javascript is actively looking for web-form based pages (aspx, ascx, master) and firing the alert accordingly. I guess it means exactly what it says!
I couldn't find any additional documentation on this so I tweeted Mads Kvist Kristensen (Web Tools team) for clarification. Not sure if this will be added at a later date? Looks like an awesome feature would love to use it in my web forms app?
