The Option to select 'Other' for a client ID in the OAuth in the Google APIs is not available

I am attempting to utilize the YouTube API in order to pull a list of my subscribers from the site. I had to get Credentials and create an API client. In researching this step, I was advised to choose 'Other' as the client ID option, but currently there is no option for other. You can see the options in this picture:
