This is how you get the Youtube API key easily
Youtube provides an API for developers so that they can easily get any information on Youtube, including authenticating users to Youtube accounts and managing uploaded videos. Many applications can be carried out with an API provided by Youtube. For example, if users want an easy way to search for videos on Youtube and create them as articles, an API is of course required.
The problem is not how to use the API, but how to do it Get key or API key which is required as the main access in order to be able to use a Youtube API. Youtube has already implemented API version 3, which is much more perfect than before, but for the API key it turns out that this also has its own limitations and cannot be called unlimited. But don’t worry as the limit is pretty high so it won’t be capped in the near future.
So far, this API key was not needed to get video information, whether it was looking for something or just getting something in it, but since Version 3 This must use the API key and is mandatory. Here I am sharing how to get the Youtube API key easily, along with an overview, see below.
First of all, a google account is required, if you already have one just go to the page Google developer console.
Click the button next to the dashboard text Activate API to activate the API functions provided by Google.
Then all functions will be displayed and just select one Youtube data API.
Now it’s time to create the key, on this page choose the button Create project.
A dialog will appear asking you to enter the name of the project, just fill it out as you wish. And don’t forget to vote Yes sir in the admission area. The full example is like this picture.
After creating the project, it’s time to enable the Youtube API. Press the button Activate.
Almost done, now take the API key, click the button Create credentials.
Now you will be asked to fill in the description of the API key to be created according to the project. Here I am giving an example, I want to create a public API key so that anyone can access it for web browsers.
Then the API key has appeared and you can copy it, just press the copy button as shown below.
It looks like a lot to do, but actually it’s just a very small and quick way to do it. Looks like a lot at the top because I’ve cropped every step to make it look more detailed. Sometimes the API key can be directly affected by a limit or restriction, maybe it’s because it wasn’t Set the API key correctly like adding a custom domain that can only use this API key.
Hopefully useful and good luck
