Hi there! Is this error still occurring? If so, could you try making the specifying part as the last parameter, like so?:

request = youtube.playlists().list(
        mine=True,
        part="SOMETHING"
    )

• Yes, it's still occuring. It's even worse:
  • AttributeError: 'InstalledAppFlow' object has no attribute 'run_console'
  • So I replaced run_console with run_local_server.
• Yes, if I add part="id", it works.

Thanks.
