| 22 | +2. Navigate to the repository's directory: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | + ```bash |
| 25 | + cd youtube-api-search |
| 26 | + ``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +3. Replace `'YOUR_API_KEY'` with your actual YouTube API key in the `script.py` file. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +4. Run the script using your Python interpreter: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | + ```bash |
| 33 | + python script.py |
| 34 | + ``` |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Usage |

| 38 | +The `script.py` file in this repository contains the sample code to search for videos using the YouTube API. The script performs the following steps: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +1. Imports the necessary libraries. |
| 41 | +2. Initializes the YouTube API client with your API key. |
| 42 | +3. Defines a search query. |
| 43 | +4. Calls the `search.list` method to retrieve search results for videos. |
| 44 | +5. Prints video information (title and video ID) from the search results. |
