Is there a way to obtain youtube channel ID or youtube userID using Google oAuth2. I am able to retrieve 'profile' and email details using oauth. Also provided scope for "youtube-readonly". I want to achieve this using Python/Django
NB: General idea here is to show the Youtube Channel name and subscriber count of the logged in User. [user login through Google OAuth only.]
Finally, got a way to implement with python.
Hope this will help anyone with similar question.

api_version = "v3"

# Get credentials and create an API client
flow = google_auth_oauthlib.flow.InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
client_secrets_file, scopes)
credentials = flow.run_console()
youtube = googleapiclient.discovery.build(
api_service_name, api_version, credentials=credentials)
request = youtube.channels().list(
part="id,status,snippet,statistics",
mine=True
)
response = request.execute()
print(response)
