    Hi,
    it there any (simple :) way to integrate Youtube API (V3) into a Unity game? I already use Google Play Services (via Prime31 plugin), so it probably would be the best to use its authentication.
    Could someone, please, direct me to some documentation or provide some help? All I want is to authenticate to Youtube Data API and read information about user's subscriptions...
    I've read google's docs about Youtube API and I probably can write all the functionality, I need in Java, but I have no idea, how to connect it to Unity (well I know something about native plugins, but it looks to me as an overkill to to integrate whole google api as native plugin, especially when I already have google play services...).

    Thanks a lot

    I know i'm almost late by your project time span :p . But just adding in here my thoughts.

    I'm currently trying REST API for Youtube V3 and will update you soon.

    Its actually doable inside unity3d, with just unitys default www functionality, without any fancy plugins or so. As long as you just want to get/search/play videos =)

    Just have a look at the api and how it works. Il think its not possible to teach how it works from scratch in any other way.
