How to create a YouTube API key

How to create a YouTube API key Before you start • You need a Google Account to access the Google API Console, request an API key, and register your application. • Create a project in the Google Developers Console and obtain authorization credentials so your application can submit API requests. • After creating your project, make sure the YouTube Data API is one of the services that your application is registered to use: • Go to the API Console and select the project that you just registered. • Visit the Enabled APIs page. In the list of APIs, make sure the status is ON for the YouTube Data API v3. • If your application will use any API methods that require user authorization, read the authentication guide to learn how to implement OAuth 2.0 authorization. • Select a client library to simplify your API implementation. • Familiarize yourself with the core concepts of the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data format. JSON is a common, language-independent data format that provides a simple text representation of arbitrary data structures. For more information, see json.org.
